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.
If you’re fatigued by lousy pasta salad drowning in dressing, soggy potato salad or other sad, sad side dishes, give this vibrant and full-flavored side a try. Perfect with grilled chicken, fish, even BBQ.
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.
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!
This healthy summer salad is a wonderful way to use the season’s best ingredients: corn, tomatoes and basil (mozzarella, too!)
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.
Here’s my idea of the perfect lunch: bright, clean, fresh tasting, with equal parts protein and vegetables. It’s one of my go-to salad-in-a-jar lunch recipes. Use leftover grilled or roasted chicken in this salad recipe; the vegetables and light vinaigrette are super easy to make. Get the recipe!
I mean, c’mon: Who wouldn’t love a recipe called Truck Stop Corn Chowder? This recipe, which I presume my Grandmother Dorothy clipped from the Indianapolis Star and stashed in her recipe file, is a real winner.
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.
