I usually go for the more complicated recipes, assuming that the more ingredients and preparation steps, the better. This recipe has changed the way I look at simplicity when it comes to cooking. Fancy spices be darned--this is the only way I'll cook salmon any more!

This is a nice alternative to the usual morning bowl of oatmeal. It makes a soft breakfast square. I usually eat it slightly warmed up with a bit of milk.

Granola is incredibly affordable when you make it yourself. This recipe combines some of my favorite ingredients: maple syrup, almond butter and seeds!

Comes out crisp and nutty like crackers, good for snacking. The texture is strangely compelling. This is the basic recipe, vary flavors at will.

Want to know the secret to great chili? Start with great spices--and skip the packets at the supermarket, which are full of sugar and salt. Make your own to save money and skip the salt.

I love this recipe! It can be used as a sauce for grilled meats, a dressing for salads or steamed vegetables, or as a marinade for tofu or other lean proteins. You will always find it in my refrigerator.

This quick and easy meal is a hit with kids. If they can't tolerate spicy foods, reduce or omit the sriracha.

After you've roasted a chicken or turkey don't throw away the bones. They can be used to make homemade, low-sodium stocks, which can add flavor to your healthy, home-cooked meals.

This is a lighter take on the classic Italian preparation of Chicken Cacciatore (or Chicken Hunter Style). Our made-over version uses white meat rather than dark and less oil to cut almost 60 calories per serving and reduce the fat and sodium of the traditional recipe.

Good fiber, protein & iron content--& delicious too! Can also be made with mung beans or lentils, or a combination. Adjust spiciness to your preference.
