Easy, healthy recipes for quick midday meals.
Light, cheesy croutons float atop a rich, golden broth of beef and caramelized onions. I love French onion soup, but I dislike the slab of thick melted cheese that often lies on top of it. So I make mine with small, cheesy croutons instead.

I got the idea for a mozzarella French toast sandwich on the cooking channel. When I watched the episode, I immediately knew I would have to make my own version.
Whole-wheat bread is filled with fresh Mozzarella, dipped in batter, then fried in olive oil until golden and the cheese is melted. So good! I use white whole-wheat bread for this because it comes out prettier than regular whole-wheat – it gets as golden as white bread, but you still get more protein and fiber compared with white bread. Fresh mozzarella is a must – you could use string cheese, but it won’t taste the same.

When recipes call for chicken broth, I usually use organic, low-sodium chicken broth from a box. When I go through the trouble of making my own delicious, golden, comforting chicken broth, the last thing I want is to use it IN a recipe. It’s so delicious, we enjoy it as soon as it’s done, usually with rice, noodles or dumplings.

Delicious, succulent pulled chicken, smothered in a tangy barbecue sauce and cooked in a slow oven for several hours. While chicken breast would make for a leaner dish, boneless skinless chicken thighs are juicier and so more suitable for slow cooking. The end result is just as tasty as pulled pork, and less fatty.

Sweet, fresh, in-season corn can absolutely be enjoyed raw. This raw corn salad is my favorite way to enjoy the fresh, crisp taste of raw corn.

Whole-wheat tortillas are filled with lots of delicious fillings, then crisped with a little olive oil and given pretty grill marks. The ham is warm, the cheese melty, the bell peppers are nicely roasted, and the hot salsa adds a burst of flavor. These whole-wheat grilled quesadillas are a fiesta for the eyes and for the taste buds!

One of my favorite ways to use canned tuna, this spicy tuna salad is creamy and very flavorful. It’s great in sandwiches, and especially in wraps – either tortilla wraps or lettuce wraps. If you don’t like spicy, simply use mild salsa instead of hot salsa.
