A Better Breakfast Pita Pocket
This is a super tasty way to get vegetables into the morning meal and you can change it up to suit your taste. Try substituting broccoli or asparagus for the spinach; add sausage or veggie sausage; use warm whole wheat tortillas or naan in place of the pitas.
Experiment with different varieties of apples and dried fruit to make this maple-sweetened treat, delicious for dessert or breakfast for about $1.65 per serving.

Little hands can help make this sweet, creamy spread for organic graham crackers. Try with finely chopped fruit -- Gala apples or Bartlett pears -- on top; or add a little OJ or apple juice and make it a fruit dip. Note that unsulfured apricots aren't as colorful as those with artificial preservatives, but the flavor is all there, naturally!
Serve these rich canapés as the perfect starter to an autumn meal. Glasses of crisp white or sparkling wine make the perfect addition.
Baked Apples Stuffed with Cranberries and Almonds
Serve these tender apples with a sweet-tart filling alongside roasted turkey or pork, a delicious pairing with the apples' hint of cardamom--though you could substitute cinnamon. They make a great stuffing alternative for those who don't eat wheat or gluten. They're also tasty for breakfast, snack or dessert--perhaps with whipped cream.
Easy as 1-2-3, this creamy, sweet and cool snack or dessert proves that added sugar and oil are not always necessary to satisfy your cravings. Keep some peeled bananas in your freezer so they'll be ready when you are. To learn how to make this recipe, watch the video on our Whole Story blog.
Blue Cheese and Pecan Stuffed Dates
To ease the party rush, make the filling for these dates a few days in advance, keeping in mind that the flavor will get stronger over time. For a vegetarian version omit the bacon and sauté the onions in olive oil instead.

Butternut Squash with Wilted Spinach and Blue Cheese
With its beautiful colors and pleasing balance of textures and flavors, this dish is bound to become one of your most requested recipes. Serve it either as a first course or a side dish to a fall or winter meal.
This savory side is perfect paired with corned beef or as a hearty vegetarian entree. To serve 8 or 10, simply double the recipe and bake it in a 9- x 13-inch casserole dish instead. It's filling and satisfying enough to help you budget bully a single corned beef brisket into serving a big crowd.
Carrot, Red Onion and Cilantro Salad
Here’s a light and colorful side dish that complements everything from grilled meats to a spring stew to burgers or sandwiches. It is also a perfect, budget-friendly dish for an outdoor party buffet table or potluck as it won’t lose its appeal on a warm day. For a slightly earthier flavor substitute up to half the carrots with parsnips.
Cashew Noodles with Broccoli and Tofu
This super recipe proves that a meal without meat can truly be nutritious and delicious. Give it a try and show the family how broccoli can be good without cheese and that baked tofu is yummy in anyone's tummy when done right.

Cherry Orange Oatmeal Outdoors Bars
Having a quick energy snack ready when you’re on the go--whether on a hike or a road trip, at camp or at work--is helpful to keep hunger and your mood in check. Sometimes it's a challenge to decide which energy bar will taste good and be worth the money, though. So why not make your own bars and have a little more control over the cost and what's in them? Try this simple recipe, using whatever dried fruit you prefer (cranberries, blueberries, apricots), cinnamon instead of nutmeg or peanut butter instead of almond butter. You could even add chocolate chips, but do finish them with a healthy sprinkle of ground flaxseed!
This quick and easy stirfry is a great choice for a weeknight meal.
Chicken Sausage Jambalaya with Shrimp
This one-pot meal is great for feeding a crowd of friends.
You can't go wrong with the best of family favorites, pizza and Mexican food, in one meal! For a vegetarian version, simply substitute sauteed zucchini or bell peppers and onions for the chicken. If you only have two mouths to feed, serve half of the pizza for dinner and pack the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cupcakes with Orange-Cream Frosting
These are so moist and tasty, you'll hardly notice the Whole Foods Market healthy touch of zucchini and neufchatel. The flavors are kid-friendly, yet sophisticated enough to honor a birthday boy or girl of any age. For a lighter alternative to frosting, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons orange juice and 1 teaspoon orange zest and then dip the top of each cupcake in the glaze. Decorate each with additional chocolate chips...or a candle!
Make this easy sweet treat a day or two ahead. After the chocolate has set, simply store the matzo bark in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
Making these beautiful chocolate-dipped berries is a breeze. If you have leftover chocolate, dip other fruits or cookies in it.
An easy alternative to cooking your own corned beef is to buy sliced, precooked corned beef instead. Look for it near the bacon in the cold case or ask for it at the deli counter. If using this substitution, simply omit the onion, cover the potatoes with salted water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add about 1 1/4 pounds sliced, precooked corned beef and simmer until potatoes are tender; the resulting broth is flavorful enough to pour over the cabbage rolls for baking. Follow the recipe as directed to finish the potato filling, roughly chop the sliced corned beef and you’re ready to assemble the rolls. Assemble this dish up to 2 days in advance, if you like.
Cranberry Cheddar Sausage Bites
Serve these savory sausage bites with a bowl of cranberry sauce for dipping, if you like. For a spicier version, omit the thyme and use red pepper flakes instead.
Garnish this thick, velvety soup with an extra dollop of sour cream and pinch of chopped fresh thyme, if you like.
Curried Pork Stew with Potatoes and Green Beans
This is a great make-ahead recipe. Cool completely then freeze in an airtight container. Reheat frozen or thawed stew slowly in a large covered pot over medium-low heat until completely hot. Serve with lime wedges, warm naan bread and fruit chutney.
Older kids can learn to make these themselves, and younger ones can be helpers. Remember to be careful with knives and sharp blender blades. And if you do want it sweeter, add a touch of agave nectar or grape fruit spread.
Easy Shrimp and Grits with Sweet Peppers
Breakfast, brunch or lunch for a crowd of house guests is not always easy and affordable. This recipe fills them up without draining your wallet. Double it by making twice the grits and sauteing the vegetables and shrimp in batches to keep from crowding the skillet while they cook. Our bacon is fantastic, contains no synthetic nitrates/nitrites, and our strict welfare standards apply to the pigs it comes from. That said, you can make a very delish vegetarian batch by replacing the bacon with sliced mushrooms and olive oil, and omitting the shrimp.
