80 recipes from traditional healthy cuisines around the world. Here's one from a part of France where the first days of Spring can feel like winter and folks like hearty dishes. Like this stew of big, creamy, buttery white beans, tomato, garlic and rich, smoky meats.

Big, mouth-filling flavor. Amazingly light but luxurious and rich. Your first bite seems completely familiar and completely new. Part airy, moist cake. Part silky light pudding. Have your coffee and eat it, too.

I loved the name of this dish before I knew what it was. Earthy mashed potatoes with barely crunchy kale greens. Smoky, juicy sausages. So many flavors and textures. A meal worth celebrating on St. Patrick's Day or any other.

Less than $3 for a savory, satisfying vegetarian meal for two. Or a high-protein vegetable side dish for four. A great Way to reduce your meat consumption and get more vegetables into your diet.

Yes, another totally delicious meal-in-a-sandwich to help you get ready for next month's celebration of National Grilled Cheese Month. You really should make this. It'll make you happy.

This isn't about the egg. It's about you. And the egg's Vitamin D. One of the few things you can't get enough of from a healthy diet. But it's something your skin synthesizes when it's exposed to sunlight. Ten minutes a day during Spring and Summer may do the trick for the whole year.

$1 for a great, great sandwich. Sheep's milk cheese and toasted pasta "pearls" from Sardinia. And a few slices of orange that could have been grown there. All melted between two slices of crusty bread. I really don't know if they make grilled cheese sandwiches in Sardinia. But if they do, this should be the Way.

A big, satisfying and intensely flavorful meal for less than $2.50. Just 150 calories in a luscious dish with a near-zero glycemic load. A perfect example of "eat more vegetables, olive oil and fish". Walk off the whole meal in 30 minutes.
