Lentil Chili
Chili doesn’t get any easier than this! Enjoy this dish with your favorite cornbread or a crisp, light side salad.
Creamy Spinach Penne
Low-fat cottage cheese provides the foundation of a creamy pasta sauce that won’t break the caloric bank. Roasted red peppers, whether jarred or home-made, bring wonderful flavor and a heap of vegetable. Mix up the options by adding in chopped tomatoes, chopped chicken breast, or a can of white beans.
Summer Pasta
All the flavors of summer come together in this simple pasta dish that will impress dinner guests as easily as it will come together quickly on a busy night. It’s easily made vegetarian or vegan, too–just swap vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth and replace the Parmesan with a little nutritional yeast.
