Roasted Indian Cauliflower Tossed With Chickpeas And Cashews
Author Aviva Goldfarb says, "Six O’Clock Scramble CFO (and my good friend) Robin Thieme stopped by on a Saturday to drop off a book and was surprised to find that I was cooking a hot lunch for my husband, Andrew, and me. I confessed that I was just trying to use up some produce before it went bad. Robin joined us for lunch and we all agreed this dish is a winner. Serve with Tropical Island Smoothies."
Curried Quinoa With Butternut Squash And Chickpeas
Curry powder, chickpeas, and squash are a classic combination in Indian cuisine. In this recipe, to liven up the curry flavor and add some welcome texture to the mix, I’ve also added fresh ginger, red wine vinegar, lime zest, and cilantro, along with nutty quinoa and crunchy pumpkin seeds. This dish is best made in the fall when mounds of butternut squash are available at the farmers’ market but if you crave this spicy salad during the warmer months, feel free to use frozen (and thawed) squash instead.
Simple Chicken Stirfry
The classic stir-fry recipe is the perfect way to make a healthy, diabetes-friendly and low-carb meal from whatever you might have in the fridge or pantry. Heat up a little oil in a skillet (a wok is great, but any skillet will do), throw in some protein and vegetables, and stir. Our version uses chicken as a base, but strips of beef, pork, or tofu will work just as well. Stir-fry vegetable mixes are available at most grocery stores, but there are a number of fresh or frozen vegetables that will work perfectly here—broccoli, snow peas, bell peppers, and baby corn especially.

Easy Broccoli and Shrimp Stir-Fry
There's nothing more satisfying than whipping up a healthy, tasty dinner in less than 30 minutes! This recipe calls for broccoli florets, but you can use 3 cups of any nonstartchy vegetables you have on hand (like cauliflower, zucchini, snow peans, or cabbage). Serve over brown rice or another whole grain for a complete plate.
Nicoise-Inspired Salad
Low carb and packed with protein, this simpler version of Salade Nicoise relies on pantry staples, and can be eaten on it's own or paired with another side for a more filling meal. You can sub ingredients for what you have on hand—use any kind of salad green instead of arugula; any kind of olive will work, or sub something like capers or feta cheese for the same savory, briny flavor; instead of tomatoes (or in addition!) you could use bell peppers, cucumber, sugar snap peas, or any other fresh vegetables. If you don't have bottled dressing, you can make a simple vinaigrette with lemon juice
