Mozzarella Chicken Melt with Pasta Marinara
Breaded chicken can be healthy, when you bake it instead of pan-frying, and serve it with a whole grain pasta-spinach toss. We sneakily added some omega oil to the pasta sauce, so even the fish haters can reap the health benefits.

Fragrant White Bean Soup
This first course soup packs a fibre punch due to the navy beans. Don’t forget to drain the beans after cooking them or the soup will be watery. Serve with hearty wholegrain bread and some crudités to turn it into a main course. Never salt the water when cooking dried beans, or the beans will not fully soften.

Grilled Marinated Portobello Sandwiches with Avocado
Portobello caps have a wonderfully meaty texture when grilled, making this a wonderful main course alternative if you’re trying to eat meatless occasionally. If you have extra time, let the caps marinate in the vinegar a while before grilling; if you’re pressed for time, you can grill them right away.
