From saucy noodles to melted cheese, this baked ziti recipe is comfort food at its finest. We like a 50-50 combination of ground beef and Italian turkey sausage, but you can use just 1 pound of either, if you prefer.

This Vietnamese sandwich is typically a combination of meat (usually pork) and vegetables, but our take here is plant-based and calls for crispy marinated tofu and a combination of fresh and pickled vegetables. A swipe of sriracha mayonnaise adds a layer of creamy richness. Don't be intimidated by the long ingredient list—all of the items are easy to find at well-stocked grocery stores and once you prep your ingredients, the sandwiches come together very easily.

A chicken dinner doesn’t get much easier, or more satisfying, than this. In just over half an hour, you can have a complete meal on the table that doesn’t require loads of dishes afterward. We call for tender haricots verts because they’re quick-cooking; traditional green beans likely won’t be tender enough after the brief cooking time. If that’s all you have on hand, steam them first, then add them to the pan for the final step. Serve this hearty chicken-and-potatoes dinner with a simple side salad to sneak in another serving of veggies.

This vegetable soup fills you up, keeps you satisfied and is an easy way to eat more vegetables.
