Asian Shiitake, Kale, and Rice BowlBy Life and Health NetworkI 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 ChiliBy Life and Health NetworkYou’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)By Life and Health NetworkDelicious 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.
