This rich and hearty minestrone soup is full of vegetables, macaroni and Asiago cheese. It comes together in just under an hour, and is a perfect dish for a fast weeknight meal.

Combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes and fresh corn with a tangy-sweet aromatic dressing in this simple summer salad, that is as refreshing as it is healthy. Pair with homemade tortilla chips, and a garnish of fresh lime wedges.

When you toss vegetables on the grill, they get an attractive char and a complex, smoky flavor. In this lovely salad, we combine asparagus, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and bell pepper slices in a little olive oil. After they grill to a tender yet crisp perfection, they are drizzled with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

These skewers impart a strong Asian flavor because of the tasty marinade comprising of sriracha, sesame oil and soy sauce. For the best results, marinate the tofu overnight.
