3 delicious, healthy meal ideas for January

January often feels like a reset, whether you’re getting back to work, setting personal goals or tackling long-neglected projects around the house (we all have a few). After several weeks of holiday indulgence, many of our customers are looking for nutrient-rich, delicious meal options that fuel their bodies, helping them feel strong and ready to take on the world in 2026. Rowe Farms is here to help!

Here are a few ideas to help inspire your winter meal plan. To grab all of the high quality ingredients you need, please place an online order or visit Rowe Farms in Guelph or Toronto. We look forward to seeing you!

Turkey meatballs with zucchini noodles

Meatballs are always a good idea—they’re easy, delicious and family-friendly. While spaghetti and beef meatballs is a classic dish, there are other options. Consider making some lean, flavourful turkey meatballs and serving them over fresh zoodles (spiralized zucchini) with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. You can start with our high quality ground turkey and finish this dish with a jar of basil and garlic or wild mushroom pasta sauce. Here’s a great recipe from The Food Network. (Want to switch things up? Use pesto instead of tomato sauce!)

Beef brisket tacos

Nutritious never has to equate to boring, and this meal is the perfect example. By packing a fresh tortilla with slow-cooked Ontario beef and a ton of veggies, you’ll have a hearty, flavourful meal that delivers plenty of protein, vitamins and minerals to nourish your body. We love adding homemade guacamole to tacos as well as fresh tomatoes or salsa, sliced radishes, chopped lettuce, sweet corn, red onions and more. You can also use thinly-sliced steak instead of brisket. Here’s a recipe to inspire you, but really, this meal can be made any way you like. Enjoy!

Pork chops with root vegetables

This delectable meal feels indulgent but packs a ton of important nutritional elements. Start with Ontario pork loin chops and your favourite root vegetables. Butternut or acorn squash with carrots, parsnips and sweet onions is a great combination, but anything goes—throw in some potatoes or turnip if that’s what your family likes best. A roughly chopped apple is another nutrient-rich addition that adds subtle sweetness. Season your pork and roast it over the chopped vegetables for a simple yet delicious dinner. Here’s a recipe to try if you’d like more specific instruction (it uses tenderloin, which is another delicious choice). Remember, you could also roast a whole chicken instead of pork!
