Broccoli and brown rice bake.
My most popular recipe, for broccoli-rice bake, is so warm and comforting that you’d be surprised how healthy it is. Swap low-fat versions for the yogurt, ricotta, and cheese in this recipe for an even better-for-you variation.
Golden spiced lentil soup.
Hearty, sunshine-y and flavorful, this easy Golden Lentil Soup recipe has it all. Plus, it’s low in fat and calories, and spiked with healthy turmeric and cumin.
White bean puree.
If you love hummus like I do, you’ll love this recipe too: A rough purée of freshly cooked high-quality white beans with fragrant garlic, lemon and parsley. Great on pita chips!
Farro and summer vegetable salad.
This healthy summer salad is a wonderful way to use the season’s best ingredients: corn, tomatoes and basil (mozzarella, too!)
Pan pizza with zucchini and cheddar.
Sounds a bit unconventional, but trust me: it’s awesome. Perfect for supper on a busy night. And so easy, especially if you have pizza dough on hand in the freezer, which I totally advocate.
Seasonal vegetable gratin.
This recipe is a take on traditional succotash—the combination of beans and corn—and it calls for both green beans and shelled beans like limas or favas. A great vegetarian main or hearty side for grilled meat.
Spinach frittata with fresh herbs.
Spring’s finest ingredients — farm-fresh eggs, spring greens and tender herbs — come together in this beautiful frittata recipe. Great Meatless Monday dinner option with fat slices of buttered toast and a glass of white wine.
Super versatile herbed orzo salad.
You’ve had what I call “sad pasta salad” — that takeout deli stuff with corkscrew pasta and way too much bottled Italian dressing. This pasta salad is NOT sad pasta salad! It’s the only pasta salad recipe you need.
