Main Dish

The Big Chili

Starring a healthy protein and studded with veggies, this dish transforms mere comfort food into a nutritional blockbuster

Turkey tacos

Leftovers from your Thanksgiving feast taste twice as delicious mixed with warm cranberry salsa and tucked in corn tortillas

Indian-Style Grainless Buddha Bowl

Buddha bowls are known for three main types of ingredients—grain, green, and bean—and a tasty sauce (like coconut curry). This version makes this dish even healthier by subbing the grain with riced cauliflower, so this meal is low in carbs, high in fiber and potassium, and super tasty! You can even swap out different vegetables and sauces based on your favorite cuisines.

Mexican Kale Salad

Using a rotisserie chicken makes this salad a snap to put together. It’s easiest to shred the meat when it’s warm but not hot. If using directly from the rotisserie, let the chicken cool until you can handle it; if pulling the chicken out of the refrigerator, reheat it slightly in the microwave. To serve this dish as a starter or side salad, simply leave out the chicken and serve smaller portions.

Open-Face BLT

Give your lunch a healthy makeover with this lightened-up version of a classic BLT sandwich 

Sweet-Potato-Turkey Chili

This chili freezes beautifully and also makes for an easy next-day lunch. If you’re concerned about sodium, rinse and drain the black beans before adding them to the skillet.
