Roasting a whole chicken in the oven or on the BBQ is easier than than you think, it just takes several hours (depending on the size of the chicken). This is my take on the roasted chicken that my mom would make for my family when I was a kid. The chicken goes well with just about any side dish. And the leftover herbes de Provence-infused meat makes yummy sandwiches the following day.
I like to serve an assortment of hummus flavors, including this version with spinach and feta cheese. You and your family won’t even realize that you are devouring a healthy leafy green.
Hummus is a great source of protein and fiber, and it makes a tasty snack. I like to serve an assortment of hummus flavors, including this version with roasted red peppers and feta cheese.
Hummus is a great source of protein and fiber so it makes a healthy and satisfying snack. I like to serve it with pita bread wedges and veggie sticks, or spread it on sandwiches and wraps.
This simple fish sandwich is inspired by McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish Sandwich. By making it at home, it is a healthy meal and a good way to get your kids to eat seafood.
Start your teppanyaki-style feast with these veggies while your family is hungry, and before their plates are piled with rice and meats. They shouldn’t complain too much because the teriyaki glaze makes the veggies taste like candy.
Crab cocktail is a light and refreshing meal for a warm summer night. The crab can be shelled and the sauce can be made in advance so it makes a quick and easy appetizer or dinner, and is a perfect no-fuss meal for guests.
This can be a hearty meal in it of itself or served as a side dish. It’s a great way to feed your family veggies because the turkey chili is loaded with them. Plus, the potatoes are baked so this rendition of chili cheese fries offers a healthier alternative to the standard dish.
These muffins are a great source of fiber, protein and vitamins with the oats, nuts and bananas. I like making them in miniature so that they are just the right size for my son.
My family loves fish tacos. This time we decided to make them a little differently, battering and baking the cod pieces à la Baked Chicken Nuggets with Creamy Bacon Dip. Preparing the fish this way makes the tacos more kid-friendly and they appeal to people who typically aren’t seafood lovers, too!
