Southwest Quinoa Cakes Makes: 6 servings Serving Size: 2 cakes & 1/4 cup salsa Active Time: 35 minutes Total Time: 1 hour Equipment: Nonstick muffin tin with 12 (1/2-cup) cups Ingredients
2 cups water 1 cup quinoa, preferably red quinoa 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed 3/4 cup reduced-fat cottage cheese 1/4 cup sliced scallions 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch, divided 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese 1 14-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes 1 clove garlic 1 small chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (see Tip) 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 avocado, chopped Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray.
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in quinoa. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the grains are tender and reveal their spiraled germ, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for about 10 minutes.
Add eggs, beans, cottage cheese, scallions, flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the quinoa and stir until well combined. Divide the mixture among the muffin cups (about 1/4 cup each). Top each quinoa cake with about 1 tablespoon cheese.
Bake the cakes until puffed and a little brown on top, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Gently loosen and remove with a paring knife.
Meanwhile, place tomatoes, garlic, chipotle pepper and a pinch of salt in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in cilantro to complete salsa.
Serve the cakes with the salsa and avocado. TIPS & NOTES Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the salsa (Step 5) for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving. Chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce are smoked jalapeños packed in a flavorful, spicy sauce. Look for the small cans with Mexican foods at large supermarkets. Once opened, they'll keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.

The Best Shredded Kale Salad
Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD & DRESSING:
2 medium bunches destemmed Lacinato/dinosaur kale, finely chopped (8 cups chopped)
2 large garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (just eyeball it)
1-2 handfuls dried sweetened cranberries, for garnish
FOR THE PECAN PARMESAN:
1 cup pecan halves, toasted
1.5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 pinches fine grain sea salt
Directions....
Preheat the oven to 300F. Spread the pecans onto a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
Remove the stems from the kale and discard (you can save for smoothies if you are hard core!). Finely chop the kale leaves (the smaller, the better!).
Wash the kale and spin dry. Place dried kale into a large bowl.
For the dressing: In a mini food processor, process the garlic until minced. Now add the lemon, oil, salt, and pepper and process until combined. Adjust to taste, if desired. Pour the dressing onto the kale and mix it into the kale with your hands or toss with spoons. Keep mixing for about 1 minute to ensure everything is coated perfectly.
For the pecan parm: Rinse out the mini processor and pat dry. Add the pecans into the processor and process until the pecans are the size of peas or a bit larger. Now add in the nutritional yeast, oil, and salt and process again until it's a coarse crumb. Be sure not to over-process - we still want a nice crunchy texture here, not powder.
Sprinkle the pecan Parmesan all over the salad. Toss on a handful or two of dried cranberries. Wrap and place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to soften. Best eaten the day it is prepared.
Note: 1) Instead of a mini processor, you can chop/whisk the dressing and pecan "parmesan" by hand. 2) For a nut-free version, try using breadcrumbs instead of pecans. Recipe provided by www.ohsheglows.com

Amaranth Fish Sticks over Broccoli Salad Ingredients
2 fish fillets, cut in "sticks" 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup amaranth grains 1 tbsp vegetable oil Salt and pepper For the salad: 1 cup slightly under cooked broccoli (to keep it crunchy), roughly chopped 1 cup arugula 1/4 cup goat cheese (non dairy), chopped 1 tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper Directions....
Serving Size: 2
Place your oil in a saucepan over med fire. While it heats, cover your fish sticks in the beaten egg, and then in the amaranth, patting with your fingers to make a thick crust.
Season with salt and pepper and place on the pan for frying, turning them over only once. (You can turn them over once the sides have cooked and only in the middle there’s raw fish).
While the fish cooks, place the olive oil in another sauce pan, and heat over med- high until it begins to smoke slightly (not from burning!) place the broccoli in and quickly toss it around until it starts to golden-brown around the edges.
Turn off heat, toss in the arugula, season with salt and pepper, and add the goat cheese, mixing slightly to keep it from melting. Place a bed of this salad on a plate and top it with three fish sticks. Serve immediately.
