  • Cilantro Sour Cream
    I call this Cilantro Sour Cream, but my kids have dubbed it “green cream.” No matter how you refer to it, this flavorful sour cream is a great topper for turkey tacos, chili, veggie burgers, or fish.
  • Creamed Corn
    I slash the fat and calories in this traditionally rich dish by swapping nonfat sour cream for the heavy cream. Corn contains health-boosting antioxidants, including high concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin, which help to protect your eyes from aging.
  • Creamed Spinach
    This rich and creamy dish tastes just like traditional versions, but with a fraction of the calories and fat. It’s so delicious that my son Cole requests it as part of a “last supper” meal before he leaves for sleepaway camp in the summer.
  • Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
    Apples take a savory turn in this cozy, autumn soup. Butternut squash provides a blast of beta-carotene for radiant skin, healthy joints, and sharp vision. It’s the perfect pairing of in-season produce—sweet fruit and nutty-flavored vegetables—as the weather turns cooler and the leaves start to turn colors.
  • Creamy Tomato Soup
    The bright, beautiful orange color of this scrumptious soup is just one of the many appealing perks. It features antioxidant-rich tomatoes and carrots, and it gets its creaminess from protein-rich tofu instead of milk or cream, which makes it a dairy-free delight. You can enjoy a bowl (or two) for lunch along with a satisfying salad, as an appetizer, or as dinner paired with its famous partner, grilled cheese. Who’s ready to slurp up this eye-catching, palate-pleasing bowl?
  • Crispy Parmesan Cauliflower
    If “crunchy” is your thing, this recipe is for you – the cauliflower florets crisp up beautifully in the oven.
  • Crunchy Spiced Chickpeas
    These crispy baked chickpeas are a terrific protein-rich snack you can take on the go. Experiment with different seasoning combos to make your own signature flavors.
  • Curried Chicken Salad with Sweet Green Peas
    Curry powder adds flavor and medicinal properties to this low-fuss chicken salad. The turmeric spice in curry powder contains a compound called curcumin, which functions as both an anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant.
  • Dairy-Free Chocolate Protein Pudding
    Get your cocoa fix the smart way with this luxurious, homemade chocolate “pudding.” To make this tasty treat dairy-free, I use creamy silken tofu, which supplies a hearty dose of protein and calcium, while still satisfying a chocolaty sweet tooth.
  • Dark Chocolate Fondue
    Warm, melty chocolate. Fresh, juicy fruit. There’s so much to love about this deliciously decadent dessert: It’s easy to prepare, incredibly rich, and loaded with good-for-you nutrients thanks to the cocoa and fruit. Whip this sweet sauce up for your next get-together and watch it get devoured.
