"This is one of my favorites because it is easy, fast and simple and versatile. If you like brown rice, I recommend using it in this and all recipes. It takes a bit longer to cook but is worth the wait, for both nutrition and taste. There is an instant brown rice on the market now, too."

Sweet and creamy, both sweet potatos and beans are good sources of dietary fiber!

I love eggplant, zicchini, peppers with a lot of spice. To add some body, black beans make this great vegetarian dish delicious! Serve over rice/pasta, top with parmesan cheese and/or sour cream. Tastes epecially good the second day, flavours mingled.

A wonderful way to warm up from the warm chili and HOT spices!

Low-calorie and high-fiber, these tasty (not fried) beans make a quick supper when spread upon warm corn tortillas topped with melted cheese.

This filling vegetarian meal is nutritious and easy to make.

I eat this over rice, but it makes a great tortilla filling too!

Yummy over White Rice

10 minute prep. Easy as can be.

Yummy beans with bits of smoked ham.

Low Fat (2g), High Fibre (13g), High Protein (20g) meal

Another one-pot meal that tastes creamy, but doesn't have the fat of creamed soups. Guaranteed to warm you up and stick to your ribs!

Yummy side dish

Spicy black means, great for nachos, burritos, or just on rice!

A simple easy meal. Very quick if you have the rice made ahead of time.

This is easy to make and soooo good. Sour cream makes the eggs a little fluffier, without adding too many calories. To cut the fat, take out an egg and add some more veggies.

A delicious snack or side (traditionally called Tapas)

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans.

Really quick and very easy

from Real Simple Magazine; I took out the radishes and used dried cilantro instead of fresh at the simmer point.

This was created after a quick exam of the freezer and pantry. It is yummy, simple to make and easy to clean up after since it only uses one pan.
