Most tuna/ tuna salad leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. These are great!

A refreshing, colorful salad that’s perfect any time of year. Since the vinaigrette is made with strawberry preserves, you get an extra blast of strawberry sweetness in every bite. English cucumbers dish up a juicy crunch while toasted almonds provide just enough nuttiness to balance the flavors in the dish.

Adding 1.5 pounds of stir-fried chicken, chopped broccoli, and carrots to the contents of the box makes the meal far healthier than just the box contents... and it's ready quickly.
My grandmother's Polish recipe, minus the salt and using lean ham instead of salt pork. I also changed the recipe from simmering the bones overnight to cooking them in a crock pot.
Note there are two sets of cooking instructions: one for the broth (which I manually entered elsewhere) and one for the soup itself. The broth takes almost a day to cook, but since it's cooked in a crockpot you won't notice the passage of time for it.
It's really not as bad as it sounds; for most of the cooking you can set a timer and do something else while things take their time.
Most tuna noodle casseroles call for cream of (something) soup and/or cheese, making them unsuitable for vegetarians. If you are a vegetarian who eats fish, this recipe is for you.
This is about as simple as you can get. Take a package of chicken tenders, a bottle of your favorite tomato sauce, two ounces of Parmesan cheese, and half a box of whole wheat pasta. Voila, reasonably health chicken parmesan (except for the sodium, which surprised me, but you can cut that 'way back by using homemade sauce.
This recipe is modeled after the Ground Turkey Shepherd's Pie recipe from LANDONSMOM0615, which can be found here: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-deta
il.asp?recipe=227359. I made so many substitutions I thought I should add my own version.
A basic shepherd's pie, using vegan butter and almond milk instead of the standard butter and sour cream for the potatoes. I also use home-made chicken broth, made from boiling a chicken carcass, so there is actually even less sodium in it than the recipe indicates.
Substitute Boca or other TVP (textured vegetable protein) for ground meat and vegan cheese for dairy, and voila, vegan tacos.
While the name comes from a humorous article by Patrick F. McManus, a columnist for Field and Stream Magazine, the recipe itself is all mine. I call it this because it has so many ingredients, and it makes so much more than you need for one meal. See the tips for more information.
An easy crockpot or stovetop soup; just brown the ground turkey and add it to water and the other ingredients. Simmer an hour, or cook in crockpot on low for eight hours.
This is a healthy soup, with lots of vitamins and minerals, especially potassium and phosphorus.
Note 1: for a higher vegetable serving use a 1-pound package of vegetables... or substitute fresh ones (takes longer but worth it).
If mixing beef and poultry flavors isn't your style, use low sodium chicken bouillon instead.
Doctoring up a standard bottle of spaghetti sauce with extra tomatoes, spices, and cheese.
Pasta note: use a heavier pasta such as shells, rotini, or penne because the sauce is thick. Spaghetti also works, but angel hair (vermicelli) won't work; it'll turn gooey.
