A much quicker version of the Italian classic; less time, but no less taste.

I love making this soup throughout the fall and winter. It's filling, healthy and stores well. Perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread.

I love eggplant, zicchini, peppers with a lot of spice. To add some body, black beans make this great vegetarian dish delicious! Serve over rice/pasta, top with parmesan cheese and/or sour cream. Tastes epecially good the second day, flavours mingled.

Cooked lentils are high in calcium, potassium, zinc, and iron.

An excellent way to use left-over chicken. Depending on the seasoning chosen, the burgers can be a spicy as you like. For a milder flavor, substitute ketchup for the taco seasoning.

My favorite Mexican restaurant serves a guacamole that's heavy on vegetables--and flavor. To slim it down even more, serve with carrots, celery and cucumber slices.

Cucumbers give this guacamole a refreshing flavor.

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans.

A hearty pancake that provides over 6 grams of fiber per serving. I like to add blueberries to the batter. Very kid-friendly recipe!
