Tomato soup is a classic soup that provides a warmth of goodness. The soup container that we used notes that it contains flavors of garlic and onion to add depth to the soup. The carrots add a little bit of crunchiness to the soup. If you prefer softer carrots, warm the soup with the carrots for additional time until they soften. We used an Italian sausage that we had left over from the dish with Italian sausages, sauerkraut, and stuffed bell peppers with couscous. This is a good option to use if you need an idea for how to use leftover sausages, or even for non-leftover sausages. This dish can also exclude the sausage to have a meatless meal.

A classic appetizer or snack to bring to a party, with an added bacon flavor. This can also be included as a side dish. The flavor combination of the ingredients may make you do a happy dance, as it did to us when eating. It will be hard to eat just one.

This dish brings together different flavors and textures, with a combination of vegetables, rice, and chickpeas. The garlic, rosemary, and rice seasoning pair so well together, and provide a flavorful soup that will leave your tastebuds happy, and everyone asking for more. The lingering delightful aromatics will make mouths water, and noses happy. The chickpeas make a great protein-packed addition to this soup.

A refreshing, juicy, nutritious side dish. This dish can be eaten at any time of the day, and/or with different meals. It requires no cook time. The refreshing watermelon is so hydrating. With the addition of the balsamic vinegar, mint, and feta, it is sure to be lip-smacking. We used freeze dried mint.

This dish smells so good while cooking! The addition of the roasted red peppers and roasted garlic aioli blended so well together with this dish, especially on the toasted roll. For an extra crunch, add onions to the sub with the roasted red peppers. Also, add additional water to the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion mixture, if the vinegar is too strong.

This snack is perfect at any time. It is not only nutritious, but quick. It can be eaten as an on-the-go snack, when in a pinch for time. This snack does not require any cook time. It may be eaten with crunchy peanut butter as well. We made one rice cake with just peanut butter and banana pieces, and the other with peanut butter, walnut pieces, and roasted cinnamon.

This dish gives a different take on a stuffed bell pepper. The stuffing includes couscous and vegetables, instead of ground beef and rice. It reminds us of summer, but can be eaten any time of the year. The Italian sausages have a grilled flavor, with hints of fennel and a smell that reminds us of grilling out during the summer, or sitting in front of a campfire, and enjoying the day. This dish provides a flavorful blend of herbs and spices.

Feelings of nostalgia may arise with this breakfast dish. These pancakes include a twist with the addition of chocolate almondmilk. Alternatively, a different type of chocolate milk, of your choice, may be used for more sweetness. Top this dish off with a sprinkle of coconut flakes, and a side of maple syrup. As a suggested meal addition, we had apples and scrambled eggs on the side.

A healthy, saucy, and satisfying meal. The Tikka Masala sauce includes a classic blend of tomatoes, yogurt, and cream. This sauce has a medium spice level. This dish also provides additional nutrition with the veggies, and chicken for protein.

A quick, hearty, protein-packed dish. This dish not only gives you a nutritious meal, but with the addition of a garden herb vinaigrette, your taste buds will thank you. As an alternative to one 29 wt oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans, 2 smaller cans may be used. Low sodium chickpeas or garbanzo beans may also be used.
