Melon & Apple Granita
Dish: Vegetarian
Mexican Green Quinoa
Fresh herbs, onions, and garlic boost the flavor of this quick-cooking grain that also serves as a complete protein.
Microwave Potato Chips
A healthier alternative to a traditional snack-time favorite. Use your favorite spices to create personalized flavors. (Nutritional yeast + garlic powder = cheesy garlic chips!) The simple method makes this a fun snack to prep with kids, but if you use a mandolin, be sure to protect little fingers!
Minestrone Soup
Packed with vegetables, this healthy preparation of a classic soup is a perfect, cozy meal for the first chill of fall. Using low-sodium canned ingredients where possible makes this a simple meal to prepare. Tip: You can cook the pasta separately and add only what you need if you prefer firm pasta.
Glazed Carrots
Glazed carrots are a well-loved tradition for weekend dinners and holidays. This version uses 100% juice in place of more processed sugars for a sweet-tart option that will delight your taste buds. Tip: If you don’t want to slice carrots, use baby carrots and cover for the first 10 minutes of the cooking process.
Savory Sweet Stir-Fry
Grapes and cabbage might seem like unusual partners for a savory dinner dish, but they work beautifully together with the aromatics to produce a rich flavor. If you’ve got grapes and cabbage waiting to be used up, this is a great dish for making sure they don’t go to waste.
Greek Salad Pita Pockets
This recipe creates a refreshing, satisfying and healthy lunch! You can eat these salad pockets as their own meal, or you can use the salad and dressing to top your favorite falafel recipe.
Fruited Rice Pilaf
Whoever thought of putting rice and fruit together is a genius. This dish is a delicious accompaniment to a whole range of meals.
