Ditch the boxed mac and cheese -- your kids will BEG for this macaroni! This recipe counts as a serving of vegetables, is loaded with fiber, and is a great source of over 15 vitamins and minerals, including 200% of your vitamin A!
This is definitely a BUDGET FRIENDLY recipe. It feeds 4 people for about $2 per diner! Not bad eh?
I like to only eat meat a couple of days per week. I had already planned on two meals with meat as the centerpiece, but also really wanted to make a nice, warm, comforting casserole for dinner!
This recipe uses Texturized Vegetable Protein, which you can find in bulk at any health food store and even Hannaford's! I use it instead of pre-fab meatless grounds because it's MUCH cheaper and has waaaaay less sodium.
Recipe from the Bob's Red Mill package for Cracked Wheat Whole Grain Bulgur.
You can do this on the stovetop or in a slowcooker. I prefer the slowcooker, as I don't have to pay attention to it!
I save broccoli stems just for this. When enough is collected I find whatever veg odds and ends are in my fridge and have a flavorful dinner
Swiss Chard grows from August thru the fall until the first hard frost. It is early November, and we still have Swiss Chard growing in our organic garden. We cut the leaves leaving most of the plant, and it grows back, over and over. We steam the leaves, freeze and put aside for winter long enjoyment. It is found at your local farmers' market and makes a great substitute for spinach leaves in many recipes. We use all organic ingredients in our swiss chard burgers.
A super healthy low-fat and low-cal chili, perfect for cold days. It's tasty and hearty too.

Get the driest blue cheese you can find or leave a small piece out overnight to help dry it out. It has such a strong flavor that you want the crumbles to be very small. I use Omega 3 eggs but any kind can be used.
Yummy quinoa dish that is served cold and is great for packing for school or work :) *NOTE* Can add some avocado on the top for extra tastiness! It's high in fiber and protein! Yum!
A dry and lightly-spiced fresh-tasting dal and vegetable curry from south India
Three reasons why I love this recipe and you will too: 1. It is quick and easy to prep, 2. It’s healthy, 3. It is very easily adapted to suit whatever fruits are in season and what you have on hand. I have made it so far with the original combination of bananas and blueberries as well as peaches with raspberries, nectarines with blackberries, and most recently with apples and cranberries. The natural sweetness of the fruit as well as a bit of maple syrup is all this really needs to be a tasty and satisfying breakfast, and it reheats well as leftovers on subsequent days. I do add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to the apple and cranberry version to offset the tartness of the berries. You can also use different types of nuts depending on what you have around or what you prefer. I’m thinking a summer version with cherries, apricots and almonds could be pretty great.
Quick, fun and goes with almost everything pasta and some things not. Punched up with a little extra heat to account for our local tastes. :)
