Eat Your Beans at Every Meal

Before you go getting all intimidated about cooking risotto—breathe—if you can cook oatmeal, you can make risotto. Add sausage or try shrimp, mushrooms or asparagus. Whatever your family loves.

Here's a great way to include some fibre into your toddler's favourite Mac and Cheese meal. You can tell them about the beans or not—it's your choice. The main thing is that even picky eaters will gobble it up.

This is truly an Entertaining Meal made easy—in the slow cooker. Browning it before hand will certainly add flavour (which can be done on the barbeque) but it's not imperative if you're stuck for time. Guests will love this warm and hearty dish.

In a rush for a quick and healthy meal for your family? This vegetarian meal will fill them up with the protein and fibre they need to keep going on that hockey rink.
