An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal.

A delicious creamy Risotto preferrably done with chanterelles, but any of your favourite mushrooms will work! You could also replace the chicken stock by vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.

My kids never complain about eating both beans and greens in one meal when they're served alongside rich, slow-cooked pork.

This is a low-carb meal from the Atkins plan. A sure-fire winner with kids. Read nutrition labels before you buy salsa: carb grams per serving vary greatly. This salad is also great made with bright green broccoflower, a hybrid of cauliflower and broccoli. For variety, add two sliced hard-boiled eggs.
