Gina's Stellar Ceviche
Few things satisfy me like this shrimp ceviche - it's light and fresh and packed with protein and veggies. It's perfect for potlucks, cookouts and game day where lots of party dishes can be out of synch with your health goals. If you're a citrus lover, definitely try adding grapefruit juice to brighten it up even more. You can eat it with a fork or use your favorite tortilla chips as spoons!

Shrimp & Spicy Slaw

Shrimp & Spicy Slaw
This is one of my 5 meals in rotation this summer. Minimal heat required to cook the shrimp indoors, grilling outdoors always works. The addition of the mango or pineapple adds a brightness to the slaw that just screams summer. It's high in protein and fiber, not to mention DELICIOUS! Find Your Five!

Mexican Street Corn One Bowl Wonder
This delicious, high protein bowl highlights summer veggies like tomatoes, corn, bell pepper and avocado. The creamy dressing complements the carmelization of the corn beautifully.

Atakilt Wat - Ethiopian Vegetable Stew
I don't eat nearly enough Ethiopian food but when I do, I always get Atakilt Wat, a gloriously spiced combo of cabbage, carrots and potatoes. One cold winter night when I was craving it, I concocted this riff on the Ethiopian classic - I added ground chicken thighs and used bone broth to increase the protein. You can play with how much broth you add to make it more or less stew-like.

Healthier Caesar Dressing

By Gina Caputo

Healthier Caesar Dressing
I love making my own dressings, like my Lemon Vinaigrette and this Balsamic Vinaigrette but to date, I didn't have a homemade Caesar Dressing recipe! This spin on a Caesar uses greek yogurt to cut down on the cheese and oil and can be made with or without anchovies! Good on salads and sandwiches too!
