Tuna Niçoise Casserole
To make a classic salad from the south of France a bit heartier for a weeknight family meal, we've transformed a tuna Niçoise into a stove top couscous casserole.
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Bolognese Sauce
Traditionally, gnocchi is made with regular potatoes, while bolognese sauce can include whole milk or even cream. By using sweet potatoes, lean ground turkey and skim milk, we've taken some of the heft out of this dish and added a bit more nutritional interest.
Steak & Farfalle Pasta with Creamy Tomato Sauce
We've chosen to keep it light for this steak pasta recipe with a tomato-based sauce smoothed with sour cream. Top that off with lean steak and lesser-known whole-wheat farfalle pasta, and you've got yourself a deliciously clean dinner sure to please any pasta lover in your family.
Salmon Corn Chowder with Quick & Healthy Corn Bread
The sweetness of late-season corn combines with heart-healthy salmon in this bowl of salmon corn chowder that is chock-full of both flavor and nutrition. If you pop our clean corn bread into the oven as you start on the chowder, you'll have fresh bread ready for dipping just before your chowder hits the table.
Roasted Chicken with Cherry Barbecue Sauce & Toasted Almonds
Roasted chicken can sometimes get boring. With our cherry barbecue sauce and toasted almonds, this Sunday dinner staple takes on a starring role.
Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff
A hearty Russian classic, our budget-friendly, clean version replaces the beef with portobellos, making up for lost protein with tofu in the creamy sauce. The family will be saying "spasiba" in no time.
Lean Tofu Pad Thai
Thailand's most popular global dish gets a lean and budget-conscious makeover, with brown rice noodles and additional veggies for a fiber and antioxidant boost.
Individual Chicken “Pot Pies”

Healthy Turkey Sliders with Homemade Ketchup
Sliders are easy to serve and fun-to-eat appetizers, and Clean Eating's healthier version strips them of the requisite greasy patty and corn syrup–laden sauces, without sacrificing flavor.
Cod with Spicy Orange Sauce
In lieu of the usual lemon, we've decided to accent our light, flaky cod fillets with a sister citrus family member, the orange, then intensified it with sweet cherry and spicy cayenne.
Chicken & Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce
Our crisp and fresh spring rolls are a delight to munch on, because these rolls are extremely low in calories and fat, unlike their fried counterparts. Our rolls are so packed with vegetables that they're almost like eating a salad in a wrap!
Chicken & Pineapple Skewers with Pineapple Sweet & Sour Sauce
Paying homage to '50s and '60s Tiki culture, a faux-Polynesian trend that lives on in themed bars across the globe, this tropical appetizer offers a tinge of Tiki taste without the high fat or refined sugar.
Chèvre & Herb-Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
Tangy and sweet goat's milk chèvre forms the savory, calcium-rich base of this visually appealing appetizer.
