Serve on whole-wheat buns with plenty of veggies, and you'll have a BBQ meal that even a meat lover will crave again and again.

Even my hubby loves this recipe. I try to keep it on hand for quick lunches and easy dinners. It's great on toasted bread with soy cheese and a big tomato slice.

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!

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

Pronounced ma-zhe-dra, this is a vegan Middle Eastern bulgur wheat, lentil and onion pilaf that is incredibly yummy! I first had it at a now (unfortunately) defunct Middle Eastern cafe and the full-blooded Syrian owner told me what the ingredients were, so after they closed and I was craving this dish, I threw together the ingredients in amounts I felt were similar to hers and it turned out pretty authentic tasting! You can also use equal amounts of whole-grain brown rice instead of the bulgur, but I prefer the bulgur wheat. Nutritional info listed is using the bulgur.

Exxcerpted from the Organic Cleanse website. I did not have any caraway seed so I replaced that with Cumin, Celery seed and Cardamom. Great paired with Yukon Gold Potatoes or brown rice.

Cookbook creator says: Probably should use 2 cups of cooked rice in this recipe. Or less rice and more beans to bring down the carbs and increase the protein.

OK, so Great Northern Beans are not "gigantes," but they yield a creamy, delicious dish. Use Greek gigantes beans if you have them for a more authentic dish.

Vindaloo is one of my favorite dishes in the world! This spicy Indian curry can be made vegetarian or with meat and is packed with spices. For those new to Indian cooking, I simplified the spice list, choosing five you might already have on hand.

The secret to this hearty vegetarian chili is butternut squash. It holds its shape and adds a layer of flavor and sweetness.

You don't have to use the oil if you don't want to, you can use pam, but either way cooked sweet yellow plantains are so delicious.

This recipe is just for cooking the plantain, but after it's cooked you can do so much w/ the plantains. You can add cinnamon and splenda, or for something more savory top off w/ ground turkey or chicken and a sprinkle of cheese after it's cooked.

Make sure to use a yellow plantain that has black spots more than yellow skin. These will be the sweetest.
