Healthy Bean Soup with Kale

3/4 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced

Answer 2

yahoo actually has a pretty decent recipe website, which would be a good place to start. i would suggest a big spinach salad with mushrooms, tangerines and raisins. the tangerines will provide enough juice so that you wont need a dressing and the raisins give it sort of an "unexpected" element. then maybe try a polenta dish, they are pretty easy, healthy, and can serve a lot of people. rachel ray also has a pretty cool recipe in her magazine this month, acorn squash halves stuffed with rice pilaf. its not that complicated but it looks like you put a lot of work into it. i'm assuming that you can view her mag on the web.

Answer 3

Roast chicken or roast beef cooked with potatoes, carrots & onions. Salad & dessert. Easy & healthy.
