Add them to a salad or grain bowl for a boost of protein.

American Goulash
American goulash, also known as old-fashioned goulash, is the perfect economical family meal.
The pasta cooks right in the sauce, so this satisfying dish can cook in just one pot.
Meanwhile, the residual heat of the pasta wilts the spinach in record time for a fast weeknight dinner.

A jar of sun-dried tomatoes does double duty for this healthy dinner idea.
This easy recipe makes a big batch for lunches or veggie-packed snacks all week.
If you want to bump up the satisfaction factor even more, top with a little cheese or avocado.

Broccoli & Quinoa Casserole
This broccoli-quinoa casserole makes a hearty vegetarian main dish.
As the quinoa absorbs water and cooks, it creates the perfect amount of steam for cooking the broccoli.
The broccoli is crisp-tender and adds texture to contrast with the creamy, cheesy quinoa.
Swap in tricolor quinoa, if you prefer.
Serve over whole grains or rice.
In this easy recipe, they’re full-size, full-flavored and plenty filling.

Roasting these melting potatoes at high heat ensures they get crunchy on the outside.
If your peppers are mild and you like heat, opt for spicy pico de gallo.
This easy vegetarian dinner recipe is sure to become a new family favorite.
We love the smoky heat from the ground chipotle, but omit it if you prefer a mild chili.
Serve with tortilla chips or cornbread and coleslaw.
