Butternut squash helps slim down this macaroni and cheese. You can't taste it, and it boosts the nutritional value of the dish!

A delicious combination of flavors that will remind you of summer even if cooking the dish in the dead of winter since most of the ingredients are available year round. You can add any other type of favorite veggie to this.

Growing up in the South, sausage gravy was a staple on our breakfast table, so I wanted to create a healthier version--with a secret ingredient.

This recipe came about because I had just made vegetable enchiladas and had leftovers, plus quinoa from earlier in the week. Thankfully, this experiment yielded a hearty, delicious meal.

Cilantro, green pepper, onion, and garlic give this bean dish a spicy kick.

I love rich, cheesy lasagna, but in the summer when vegetables are at their peak, cheese overwhelms the dish. Adding plenty of fresh vegetables to your regular lasagna for a healthy, light summer supper. Omit any vegetables you don't like, and swap for what you've got in your fridge. (Add spinach or any other green, more fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, chopped and steamed broccoli or asparagus... the possibilities are endless.)

I called this lazy tofu because it has become one of my go-to dinners for those nights where you just don't WANT TO COOK!

Submitted by DOUBLEOHSEVEN

Tofu is used as a substitute for ground meat in this recipe. If you's prefer a more "meat-like" appearance and texture, freeze the tofu at least a day before making this recipe. Thaw the tofu, drain excess liquid and crumble it by hand.
