Spicy 3-Bean ChiliBy Life and Health Network

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.

Queen of Greens SaladBy Life and Health NetworkKale is one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet.  It’s been called “the new beef,” “the queen of greens,” and “a nutritional powerhouse.”  Why?  It’s low in calories, high in fiber, iron, calcium, and Vitamins K and C, has zero fat, is filled with powerful antioxidants, is a great anti-flammatory food, and is good for cardiovascular support. We love kale and hope you will too. This salad is a great way to start!
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.
Avocado ToastBy Life and Health NetworkWe've nicknamed this "the best avocado toast you'll ever have." The quality is in the details... crusty and seedy toast, perfectly ripe avocado, tangy lime, and a bonus black bean protein boost.
HummusBy Life and Health NetworkMaximum taste with minimal effort. Creamy, delicate, and "authentic" tasting, this is sure to be a family favorite.
Mango & Coconut RiceBy Life and Health NetworkOne of the pleasures of home cooking is discovering that favorite, longed-for foods are quite simple to prepare. You don't have to go to a Thai restaurant to enjoy this comforting Asian classic.
Garlicky Potato and White Bean MashBy Life and Health NetworkWhen is the last time you made mashed potatoes without entire spoonfuls of butter? This recipes uses creamy white beans to add a silky texture to the mash, along with a unique flavor to the mash. Try mixing up the flavors by adding more steamed and mashed vegetables, like carrots and parsnips.
Rustic Tomato, Rice & Kale StewBy Life and Health NetworkThis is an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sort of stew. If you are feeling adventurous, you could also throw in a can of black beans.
Roasted Beet and Carrot SaladBy Life and Health NetworkThe recipe is simple but the unique roast-y flavor and sheer beauty makes it the perfect dish to bring to a winter potluck dinner.
