Lentils with Sweet Potato
Incredible! 5.0/5

This is just a 'toss-together dish' I came up with, easy and nutritionally sound (I think).

Good 3.0/5

This is a traditional Cuban dish, in which the black beans symbolize the Moors, and the white rice the Christians. This version is adapted from a recipe from the Bean Education and Awareness Network. My whole family loves it, even my picky 13-year-old son. It's very good with some sliced oranges and crusty bread.

Roasted chicken is a simple and versatile protein. Use it in soups, throw it on pasta or pair it with a simple salad. Tip: Save time and energy by roasting two chickens at once and freezing one (carve it first).
NOTE: Save about 125 calories and 11 g fat per serving by removing the skin.
