I have recently found that quinoa is a great addition to my back-to-school repertoire because these soy-ginger quinoa salad wraps, for example, can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator, ready to go for lunches, after-school snacks, and busy weeknight dinners.

I love how simple the ingredient list is for this zucchini & tomato gratin. And unlike most gratins, this healthy rendition is devoid of cream or butter, solely featuring the veggies with a small amount of cheese.

My family loves our lighter chicken tikka masala sauce so much that we decided to make the Indian curry dish with fish instead of chicken. I knew it was a successful meal when my son devoured the fish just as quickly as he does the chicken.
