September is a busy month for many people with the new school year starting up. This means new schedules, extra-curricular activities, sports, car pools, homework, and other work and family events, which can leave little time for cooking dinner. This creamy salsa chicken is a meal that you can get on the table quickly, using only one pot and a healthy mix of protein, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. I find that adding a ton of beans and veggies to a dish stretches it out, making it possible to feed a large crowd and still have enough for leftovers. Use the leftover creamy salsa chicken as a delicious filling for a salad or a taco the next day.

I’ve made this dip for so many parties and it’s always a big hit! I think it’s great to start a party or get-together off with a delicious, low-fat appetizer to save room (and calories) for all the other starters, main dishes, and desserts that are awaiting your guests. This dip is also perfect to make on an ordinary day, and eat as a protein-rich snack with some sliced raw veggies or crackers; spread onto a tortilla for lunch; or enjoy as a side with dinner. The options are endless, but I guarantee that if you love a hot, creamy, savory dip, you’ll come back to this recipe again and again.
A light, refreshing chickpea salad with carrots, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, and a tangy Dijon vinaigrette dressing. Rich in fiber, iron, and vitamins A and C, this salad is healthy and delicious. It takes only a few minutes to prepare, and it’s very versatile- you can eat it for lunch or snack, as a side dish for dinner, or double the recipe and serve it as a cold salad at your next summer party. Ingredients:
1 15-oz. can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed Handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered ½ cup carrots, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced ½ seedless cucumber, diced 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar 2 tsp. Dijon mustard 1/8 tsp. dried dill 1/8 tsp. garlic powder Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste This is the quickest, easiest, most delicious recipe for baked beans. My 10-minute stovetop version gets you the same sweet, spicy, and smoky flavor of slow-cooked baked beans in just a fraction of the time.
