Delicious chunks of paneer are marinated in a spicy yogurt mixture and then fried, roasted or broiled. I used them in a whole wheat pita stuffed with spinach and tomatoes. Can serve with a tomato based gravy, on a bed of rice, with some stir-fried vegetables, or eat as is for a tasty snack.

I love this recipe because it reminds me of fall. It is so good as a side dish or even by itself. The combination of sugar, nuts, and fruit caramelizes and the squash becomes tender and absorbs all the flavors of the dish. This is easy to make, so try it!

This is a vegetarian version of a delicious recipe that I loved in the UK: curried chicken salad on toast. Make it vegan by substituting the mayo for nayonaise brand or another vegan mayo. Loads of protein and fiber, and you'll be getting fruit and veggies on this sandwich at the same time.

I picked up a couple of Kohlrabi at our Farmer's Market. I had never used it before. I think that it tastes like a mixture between a broccoli stalk(which Ihappen to love) and a radish... but not spicy. It reminds me of Jicama as well. I made another ecipe I found, but liked this much better! I hope that you might too! : )

Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish... usually served as a side or dessert in some cases. Usually it's not all that healthy for you, but if you make a few substitutions you can cut the calories down significantly... and there's nothing wrong with treating yourself occasionally. Try this (super easy!) recipe out and impress your friends and family at your next gathering.

Quesadilla Explosion Salad: SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest Finalist
Very Good 4.2/5

Oh, Quesadilla Explosion Salad! How I love you!
I have eaten plenty of these at Chili's and was "Oh so surprised!" to see it listed as #2 on the 10 worst restaurant salads! Number T-O-O! Too much fat, Too many calories, Too many points!

It's a salad! How can it be so bad for you?

Something had to be done! This is my response. I have also created recipes for the various ingredients used in this salad. They are named as they appear in the list of ingredients. Feel free to use them or your own. Beware the nutrition data of this salad will change if you use another version.

Very Good 4.4/5

I love Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls. They have so much tasty stuff in them, but I hate the fact they are deep fried. I added more beans and corn and then put them in the broiler for crunch.
These are great made ahead of time and *frozen for a quick meal or a fun snack for the big game. I make a double batch so I can freeze some for later.
