This lasagna is piled high with sweet potatoes and slow-roasted tomatoes, and layered with creamy béchamel sauce—but the secret's in the fried sage leaves.
This panini turns leftover roast chicken (or turkey) into a quick lunch or light dinner. Serve with crudit?s or a tossed salad to complement the richness of the cheese. No panini press? No problem. Cook in a grill pan over medium heat, pressing and turning once.
Serve with: Focaccia Calcium isn't found only in dairy products. Eating canned salmon with the bones mashed in is an excellent way to increase your calcium intake.
These crustless quiche cups bake up quickly for a great on-the-go breakfast for fast-paced mornings, but they also make an easy dinner with a quick tossed salad. For an interesting presentation, line muffin cups with cut squares of parchment paper instead of paper muffin cup liners.
Kids love soup and reciting the alphabet – and we love this lower-sodium version of the canned stuff that we enjoyed in our youth. This is a meal that encourages playing with food by spelling out words and gobbling them up. If alphabet pasta is unavailable, use tubetti, ditali or mini shells. Have the kids help wash and peel the vegetables, so they know exactly what's going into their soup.
Whole wheat penne boosts the fibre in this chunky veggie and tomato sauce dish. Because whole wheat pasta has more of a bite than white, you may want to cook it just beyond the al dente stage for a softer texture.
