Velez’s Hearty Minestrone

When Daniel cooks this in the office, we all abandon our packed lunches and drool around the kitchen until he offers us some.

Chipotle Lentil Lettuce Wraps

Think of the lettuce as a container for tasty ingredients! Enjoy this Asian inspired treat.

Asian Shiitake, Kale, and Rice Bowl

I wouldn’t say this lightly but…this tastes like something my mom would make (in a really, really good way). If you’re apprehensive about cooking home-style Asian food, this is the perfect recipe for you to start with.

Spicy 3-Bean Chili

You’ll never miss the meat in this bean-protein-packed chili.  Spoon dollops of it on top of a steaming baked potato or slab of cornbread, eat it with chips in place of salsa, make a breakfast scramble with crumbled tofu and tortillas, use it as a burrito or taco filling…or simply eat it the way I do: with a spoon and the heel of a baguette. Bursting with flavor and fiber, it’s sure to become a new fave.

Mujaddara (Lebanese Lentils)

Delicious and easy to make, this makes the Top 5 list in the Life and Health office. The lentils and rice on their own are wonderful and full of deep flavor but the addition of caramelized onions lacing the top of the dish turn it into a gourmet, hard-to-forget meal.
