I love this spread this over whole wheat toast for breakfast with nut butter or to thicken my fall soups. My son Josh loves it with bananas. You won't believe I didn't add any sugar!

Make these rolls at night and pop them in the microwave (about 20 seconds) or toaster oven (on low) until warm. Pair them with a banana or apple, a peeled hard-boiled egg, and a cup of milk, and breakfast is ready to go in two minutes flat!

Chef Meg's homemade and natural ricotta cheese is easy to make and a fun project for someone who likes to cook.

In summertime, when herbs are abundant and fresh berries are in season, it's the perfect time to try this. You can even get the kids involved.

This is a great recipe for summer, when you have a surplus of zucchini in the garden. Double or triple the batch and freeze them for quick and healthy breakfasts.

Cookbook creator says: Very good! I would probably use foil next time as the paper didn't want to stay closed since it had so many veggies inside!

All the taste of a loaded baked potato, in a hearty soup.

Make this ahead of time and then refrigerate for a quick, protein-packed breakfast that's also portion-controlled. Top with salsa (optional) and serve with toast for a complete breakfast.

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.

Warm meat, gooey cheese, and grilled vegetables--what's not to love about a Philly cheese steak? How about the more than 1,600 calories in each one! This take on the classic skimps on fat but not flavor.

Sweet and tangy, this chicken takes less than five minutes to prep!

These are addictive. They're sweet, salty, spicy, and crunchy. Cut back on the sriracha/chili flakes to tame these fiery nuts. Use smoked (not hot or sweet) paprika.

Cookbook creator says: Somewhat plain unless you add a ton more feta, but then the calories would be a lot higher. Maybe I'll try some other veggies next time in addition to the spinach.

A hearty, homecooked meal that everyone will love! Serve with steamed broccoli and sweet corn for a complete vegetarian meal.

Cookbook creator says: Very tasty! It tasted more like a noodle casserole than mac n' cheese, but still, very delicious! I love onion in mac n' cheese so I chopped up half an onion and left it in there. I put a pinch of ground cloves and just fished out the bay leaf. Also used 1/2 cup panko instead of bread. Super yummy!

Cookbook creator says: Pretty good! Definitely get a lot for the calories if you are craving French Toast. I spread it with light butter and sugar-free syrup. My hubby loved it too, and French Toast is one of his favorites, so it must not have tasted like "diet food," (although he used regular butter and regular syrup).

Instead of reaching for fried chicken or frozen chicken nuggets, turn to these spicy, crunchy ones instead.
