Turkey Waldorf Salad
Leftover turkey is already cooked, so it couldn't be easier to add to soups, stews and sandwiches. Salads are great with cooked turkey and something lighter is nice after a heavy turkey dinner. Cooked and cubed turkey is a quick add to many salads -- including my favorite, Turkey Waldorf Salad.

Read MoreBasic Sauteed Chicken
Have I mentioned yet how absolutely delicious this recipe is? No? Well let me mention it now: Properly sautéed chicken breasts are completely excellent, and I'm going to offer you a tutorial here for just that. You can do what you like with them when they're done: make the simple pan sauce and eat them as is, or slice them up to top a salad or pasta or to fill sandwiches or burritos. But the idea here is that it's dinnertime and what you need to make is dinner and there's no time for brining or braising or marinating. I'm showing an optional accompaniment of sautéed mushrooms because I happened to have them, they happen to go well with chicken, and they happen to be beloved by 3 out of 4 people in my household. Buttered egg noodles make a great accompaniment, since the delicious juices seep over on the plate and season them perfectly

If you like greens you will love this recipe. The bacon and onions give them a wonderful flavor. Add more red pepper for a little more spice.
Read MoreMacaroni and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese are the blue jeans of the food world for kids, and you can count on simultaneous exclamations of "YUM!" from the whole family when this dish is served for dinner. While Velveeta cheese melts beautifully in this recipe, you may wish to substitute it for full cheddar for a more healthful dinner.
Read MoreYummy Buttermilk Biscuits
A great accompaniment to hearty soups and stews, these Yummy Buttermilk Biscuits are a great project for kids. Between the flour, cookie cutters and dough, your kids will love being involved in the kitchen. Adapted from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, I like to make these biscuits using half whole wheat flour, and swap in a third of a cup of wheat germ and ground flax seeds.
Read MoreTamale Pie
This is one of those straightforward, inexpensive, one-pan meals that everybody loves and anybody can throw together. Use what you have in your fridge: ground turkey, if that's what you like, canned beans you have in the pantry, and feel free to skip the corn if you haven't got any. It makes a mildly spicy meal that is pleasantly smoky and tangy but not overly complicated.
Read MoreBorscht
An excellent way of using up root vegetables, Borscht is a sweet and vibrantly pink soup. In their very popular article "The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating," The New York Times listed beets as number 1 thanks to all their lovely folates and antioxidants. I admit they recommend eating them raw for maximum nutrition -- but they're still plenty healthy cooked. Plus, when you stir a bloop of sour cream into it, it turns almost fluorescently pink
