A healthy way to enjoy a homemade pizza with a southwestern kick. Creamy avocado, sweet corn and hearty black beans play counterpoint to the kick of chili powder, cumin, and scallions.
Black Bean Pizza
Dish: Vegetarian
Bean & Oat Burgers
A delight whether or not you’re a vegetarian, proteins and whole grain pair for a satisfying and tasty meal. Serve these burgers on whole-grain buns with tomato slices and salsa or your favorite condiment.
Bean & Macaroni Soup
This simple, nourishing soup will be sure to leave you satisfied on a cool winter’s evening. To store the leftovers for the longest life, you can also store the macaroni separately to prevent it from soaking up the liquid.
Peanut Butter, Banana & Raisin Sandwich
Baked Acorn Squash with Pineapple
Forget brown sugar. Say hello to pineapple to give your squash that extra hint of sweetness. The robust flavor also makes it no sacrifice to cut down on salt as the tart element of pineapple plays with the warm spices for a well-rounded dish.
Asian Pear Slaw
Give slaw a refreshing and surprising twist with sweet pears and the heat of chili peppers. This recipe calls for jalapeño, which are easy to find, but Fresno chilis make a lovely alternative if you can get them.
Ginger Cabbage Sauté
Sweet cabbage is an often under-rated vegetable that can pair well with a wide variety of foods. This dish gets its primary kick from ginger, which adds a delightful zip to the subtle vegetables.
Poached Apples
Poached fruit is a wonderful, light dessert all on its own. To make it a little more decadent, top it with a bit of crunchy granola or, for a lovely “sometimes” treat, a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
