Summer Squash Sloppy Joes

brought to you by epicurious.com and NutritionData.com

Calories 326; Total Fat 11g; Carbohydrates 32g

This healthy take on Sloppy Joes is creative enough to appeal to adults and still plenty kid-friendly. The addition of shredded carrots and squash to lean beef or turkey slashes fat and calories and adds a bonus hit of antioxidants and fiber. With food prices soaring, it's also a great way to make a pound of meat go a lot further. (Note: Our nutritional analysis is for the Sloppy Joes made with lean beef.) Serve Enlightened Traditional Coleslaw on the side, and have some Lemon Buttermilk Ice Pops for dessert.

Summer Vegetable Curry

brought to you by epicurious.com and NutritionData.com

Calories 278; Total Fat 4g; Carbohydrates 55g

This quick and flavorful dish features seasonal veggies (summer squash, carrots, corn, tomatoes, and potatoes) in a slightly sweet and spicy curry sauce. You get a healthy dose of protein, fiber, and vitamin C, as well as the powerful anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting benefits of turmeric, a compound found in curry powder. To up the nutritional ante even further, you can sub cubed sweet potatoes for some or all of the red potatoes. Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene and better for your blood-sugar levels than white potatoes. Our nutritional analysis includes the couscous, but not the raita accompaniment.
