These burgers are spiced to perfection. To make them even spicier, you could melt jalapeno soy cheese on each patty and serve topped with salsa.

Serve in place of a steak or with lettuce and tomato on toasted whole-grain buns.

A tasty burger patty that's high in fiber and folate and easy to prepare. Serve on a whole wheat bun with your favorite toppings.

Better than store-bought, these granola bars include healthy almonds, whole grain, natural sweeteners and a touch of fruit.

A flavor powerhouse of protien!! Cooked with no meat or meat by products. Easy to prepare by putting it all in a crock pot.

Serve with whole wheat tortillas and a home made Pico De Gallo and it is a surefire hit for the whole family.

Also the left overs are really good to mash up the next day with some lime juice and serve with tortilla chips!

Black beans and quinoa provide plenty of protein- no fake meat needed! I really like these served with seasoned sweet potato fries.

What? Canned tomatoes in a tomato sauce? Yes, that's right. Garden tomatoes are only available for a short time, but crushed canned tomatoes are on shelves year-round and packed with flavor.

This recipe showcases the freshest, ripest summer tomatoes you can find. The only cooking involved (aside from preparing your pasta) is warming a bit of olive oil, which infuses the herbs and takes the raw edge off the tomato.

Very delicious waffles. These are easy to freeze in individual bags, and reheat in a toaster. It is also easy to double this recipe to make lots.

Puttanesca is one of my favorite Italian sauces. This version turns ordinary dried brown lentils into real comfort food.

I call it Farmer's Pot Pie because you should use whatever beans and vegetables you have available according to what is in season and available to you. Skinny because the crust is only on top.
