Cucumber
The secret to being cool as a cucumber? The veggie's impressive water content. Cucumbers contain about 95 percent water, says Ilyse Schapiro, RD and co-author of Should I Scoop Out My Bagel?. Plus, they're packed with potassium, which may help prevent stroke. On top of that, they contain an anti-inflammatory substance, fisetin, which promotes brain health, she says. Schapiro's suggestion: Snack on cucumbers alone, throw them in a salad, or simply pair them with tomatoes, oil and balsamic vinegar for a healthy snack.

Lasagna Roll-Ups
The Lasagna Roll-Up takes a traditional comfort food and adds a punch of plant-based nutrition. Substituting the traditional ricotta cheese for tofu increases the protein content by five grams of protein per ounce while still offering the same creamy mouthfeel that the ricotta would provide.
The spinach provides vitamins A, C and K, as well as iron, calcium, carotenoids and fiber. Spinach is often referred to as a nutritional powerhouse with many benefits that are correlated with a lowered risk of developing cancer.
The marinara sauce used provides another serving of vegetables with flavorful tomatoes, increasing the nutrient density of the Lasagna Roll-Ups. Tomatoes provide vitamins C and K, potassium, folate and lycopene, which is often noted with tomato nutrition. Lycopene is an antioxidant that gives tomatoes their bright red color with health benefits, including lowering the risks of cancer and heart disease.
A serving is considered to be two Lasagna Roll-Ups, which can be prepared ahead of time and cooked as desired. If planning in advance, it is best to store pre-made Roll-Ups in an airtight container for up to three days in a consistently cold refrigerator.
As always, it is important to remember that safe preparation and handling of foods is the most important factor for food preparation to make sure that you have lowered the risk for introducing foodborne illnesses, bacteria and viruses into your body.

To make a simple grain bowl, start with the base of any cooked grain or bean - I like a bit of both. Add roasted, steamed or sauteed vegetables. Add shrimp, eggs, chicken or some spicy pork if you like. Meld all the flavors together with your favorite sauce or salad dressing -- go Asian with ginger, or Thai with curry. Make it Greek with tahini and cilantro or Italian with a pesto made of basil and pine nuts.
My favorite resource for grain bowls is the all around excellent and innovative cookbook called Kitchen Matters by Pamela Salzman. She does a great job with healthy and delicious.

Making your own dressing allows you to control fat, sugar and sodium content
Ditkoff’s favorite salad dressing is a balsamic-Dijon dressing that she makes at home in minutes using just a handful of ingredients: 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, plus salt and pepper to taste. “Not only is it easy to control the quality of ingredients and EVOO used, but it is also so much cheaper to make your own dressing,” Ditkoff said.
As a store-bought alternative, she recommends Stonewall Kitchen’s olive oil and balsamic dressing. “It only contains four ingredients (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spices and garlic) and it tastes great on almost any kind of salad or as a marinade for chicken,” she said.
Although eggplant parmesan is a favorite, there are so many more ways to cook up this superstar veggie. Here are six ways you can prepare a meal with eggplants:
Puree cooked eggplant to make babaganoush, an eggplant dip. It pairs well with pita chips and veggies like carrots, celery and bell peppers.
Dice eggplant with the skin on and add to your stir-fry at the beginning, when you add your hard vegetables.
Slice eggplant into rounds, sprinkle with salt, black pepper and olive oil and grill. It makes a quick and easy weeknight side dish.
Cube eggplant, toss with curry sauce and sauté over medium-low heat until the eggplant is tender.
Spiralize eggplant and cook stovetop in a medium skillet with olive oil for five minutes. Toss with your favorite pasta sauce.
Bake eggplant to soften the eggplant flesh and use as a meat alternative in meatballs or burgers. To bake, cut the stem end off of the eggplant and pierce the skin gently a few times with a fork. Place the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast at 350 degrees for about one hour. Remove the eggplant from the oven and allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes until it is cool enough to handle. Remove the skin from the eggplant and use the flesh as you wish.
