The Family Table: Mexican Casserole MakeoverRemaking a family' favorite meal for a delicious dinner plus lunches to goOur makeover meal boosts fruits and vegetables considerably, sneaking stealth vegetables into the chilaquiles and serving up an easy salad with a master dressing recipe that can be used all week long. And there’s always room for a healthy dessert, especially when it’s a crumble made from seasonal fruit that bakes during dinner. Best of all, since every meal component has built-in leftover potential, this dinner makes the rest of a busy week easier too. The menu Chilaquiles Casserole Baby Spinach Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Blueberry Crumble  Goal #1: A heart-healthy meal with plenty of fruits & vegetables Meal makeover •Adding “stealth” zucchini and tomatoes to the chilaquiles boosts fiber, vitamins and minerals. •Substituting reduced-fat cheese for regular cheese reduces the saturated fat and cholesterol by over two-thirds. •A healthier dessert provides a serving of fruit plus whole grains. •Replacing the butter in the crumble with canola oil almost completely eliminates saturated fat and cholesterol. Goal #2: : Planned-for leftovers Meal makeover •Keep extra salad fixings (see more salad tips) and homemade dressing in the fridge for a week’s worth of quick side salads and lunchbox meals. •Doubling up the casserole size leaves tasty leftovers for lunchboxes or the freezer. •Big-batch crumble topping is enough for several more quick desserts—including yogurt parfaits and sundaes. |
