Vegetable Pot PieBy Life and Health NetworkA hearty, home-style pot pie. This one takes a little more time to make, but it is well worth the effort. Make it a day ahead of time and warm it before serving. Caribbean Burritos with Mango-Lime SalsaBy Life and Health NetworkThis burrito recipe is pure wow, from head to toe. Fragrant coconut-cinnamon rice, fresh and zingy mango-lime salsa, hearty black beans, and exotic toasted coconut flakes…you get the picture. If you’d like to reduce the carb content in this recipe, turn it into a “grain bowl” by omitting the tortilla and just spooning the beans and salsa atop a pile of coconut rice.Asian Tofu FajitasBy Life and Health NetworkWe first tasted these fajitas at a friend's housewarming party. Meghan McKinney, the author of this recipe, served them to us on perfectly warmed corn tortillas and a little scoop of brown rice. Needless to say, they were a hit.Tangerine Bliss SmoothieBy Life and Health NetworkI was tempted to name this “Tangerine Julius” because of how intensely similar it tastes to the drink sold at the popular mall food court staple “Orange Julius.” It’s frothy, vividly orange, and feels like you’re eating a glass of sunshine.5-Minute Sweet or Savory Polenta BowlBy Life and Health NetworkIt’s a single serving recipe, but how perfect would this be for a crowd-pleasing brunch buffet? Just prepare the polenta and lay out all of the optional toppings for a beautiful sunshine-y spread. Or, simply make a little bowl of bright polenta for yourself and get creative.Sweet or Savory Breakfast QuesadillaBy Life and Health NetworkWhile weekend mornings are special, a chance to take my time making breakfast. Sometimes, though, I don’t want to linger over the cooking. Enter the very special and quick-cooking breakfast quesadilla; dressed up or down with whichever sweet or savory ingredients you have on hand. These are a wonderful and colorful break from the speedy toast and oatmeal routine of typical Monday–Friday mornings.Breakfast Quinoa BowlBy Life and Health NetworkQuinoa is a wonderful, wonderful seed and a complete protein, which means it contains all nine essential amino acids. Most people tend to add quinoa to a savory lunch or dinner meal but we’re turning that on its head by combining it with sweet ingredients for a healthy breakfast.Loaded ToastBy Life and Health NetworkThe only knife-and-fork toast you’ll ever eat.Overnight Chia-Oat PuddingBy Life and Health NetworkChia seeds are fascinating little bundles of Omega-3s. When they’re soaked in water, a gelatinous coating forms around the seed, very much like tomato seeds. I like mashed banana in this because it thickens the mixture while adding a lot of volume. If the pudding is too thin for your liking, you can add more chia seeds and let it sit for 10 more minutes.
