Quinoa Chili
This simple, speedy chili gets loads of spice and flavor thanks to green chile tomatoes and seasoned chili beans. Quinoa adds extra protein, making this vegetarian chili hearty as well as homey.
Italian Meatball Stew
Ready-made meatballs add quick and delicious heft, while mixed vegetables, marinara and mushrooms enrich store-bought broth for a quick and truly delicious Italian meal in a mug.
Spinach, Chickpea and Feta Pasta
The salty, creamy, slightly briny flavor of feta adds an assertive edge to this Greek-inspired pasta, though milder cheeses (such as shredded Monterey Jack or Swiss) are also fine.
