Lamb is a great alternative to chicken or beef if you are looking to shake up your dinner routine. This dish in particular is low in refined carbohydrates and rich in satisfying protein. The cinnamon used to coat the lamb adds a sweet but pungent punch and may be beneficial to those who are pre-diabetic or have Type II diabetes. Research has indicated that cinnamon may slow the rise in blood sugar, preventing large surges in insulin.

This recipe is a complete meal in a bowl, providing protein, vegetables, and starch, as well as an entire day's supply of vitamins A, B6, C, K, and folate, plus plenty of calcium and iron. Most of the fat comes from monounsaturated and omega-3 fats (the "good" ones). Combining butter and canola oil cuts saturated fat and also increases the smoking point, allowing you to sear the salmon fillets nicely without setting off your smoke alarm. For dessert, have a few squares of antioxidant-rich dark chocolate.

Move over broccoli and Brussels sprouts: Kale is the new cruciferous veggie taking the spotlight on dinner tables across America. Kale is loaded with an array of vitamins including K, A, and C. It is also a great source of calcium—perfect for those who steer clear of dairy. This warm, hearty soup, loaded with chickpeas and accented with chorizo, is satisfying enough on its own, but feel free to add a whole-grain roll on the side and a few squares of dark chocolate for dessert.

Don't be alarmed by the cholesterol count from this dish: The latest research suggests that eating cholesterol-rich foods like eggs and shrimp is unlikely to contribute to high cholesterol levels. Both are great sources of protein and the antioxidant mineral selenium. Bean sprouts are a very good source of vitamins C and K.

You may not be used to thinking of steak as a healthy option, but sirloin is a relatively lean cut, especially if you trim any visible fat. In addition, about half the fat is of the healthy monounsaturated variety. A quick sauce of chopped olives seasoned with red pepper and parsley (which is brimming with antioxidant flavonoids) keeps it interesting. Pair with Wilted Spinach with Nutmeg Butter for a complete low-carb meal (if you're watching your fat and calorie intake, feel free to cut down on the amount of butter you use in this dish—just a touch adds a rich flavor).

Wait till you try it browned in garlic-infused oil and simmered in wine—this broth is then used to steam the seafood, giving the whole dish a wonderful, heady aroma. Plus, fresh cauliflower is a terrific source of vitamin C during the winter, when other sources, such as fresh tomatoes and peppers, are out of season in much of the country.

This is really a meat-and-mushroom loaf, with crimini mushrooms and ground turkey in almost equal quantities. The fungi add flavor and keep this low-fat meatloaf moist. Mushrooms are also very high in antioxidants. For a more nutritious and lower-carb spin on traditional mashed potatoes, try adding parsnips, celeriac, or rutabaga to the mix. For dessert, assemble Baked Apples with Cranberries, Raisins, and Apricots ahead of time and pop them in the oven when the meatloaf is halfway cooked.

Shake up your dinner routine with this tasty, low-carb, and superfast "spaghetti" dinner. Spaghetti squash can be used almost anywhere you'd use regular pasta, and it's loaded with antioxidants such as vitamin C. In addition, the folic acid in the squash might protect against heart disease and Alzheimer's. To add protein and additional fiber, toss a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas into the mix. Have a couple squares of antioxidant-rich extra-dark chocolate for dessert.

Here's a delicious and healthy twist on a popular street-fair dish. Turkey sausage replaces the pork variety for a recipe that's lower in fat and calories yet still packed with protein. Cooking the ingredients in water instead of butter or oil cuts out even more calories. To round out the meal, pile the sausage and peppers onto a wholegrain roll and have a few clementines for dessert.

Sautéed onions, warm Feta cheese, and heart-healthy olive oil give this salad some heft, making it just right for a comforting winter meal. Spinach is high in vitamin A and iron, and the Feta (which is lower in calories and fat than many other cheeses) contributes calcium for strong bones. Paired with a lean protein such as grilled shrimp or chicken, this is a great option if you're following a low-carb diet—if you're not, try adding toasted pita chips for crunch.

Dried porcini mushrooms get double billing in this recipe: They are ground into a powder and used to coat the chicken breasts and also simmered with nutty-tasting wheat berries (which can be found at health food or gourmet grocery stores). The wheat berries are combined with wild rice for a chewy two-grain pilaf that absorbs every delicious drop of the wine-and-mushroom pan sauce. (The grains also supply a third of your day's fiber requirement). Despite its rich flavor, the dish is low in fat. A tossed green salad is all you need for a complete meal.

You don't have to give up fresh greens just because summer lettuces are not in season: Escarole (a type of endive) is available year-round and its sturdy texture and slightly bitter flavor make it perfect for wilting.

Marinating these chicken kebabs all day or overnight in a simple blend of yogurt and lemon juice makes them succulent and juicy, but the active cooking time is only about a half an hour, so they're a great quick dinner. Brightly colored turmeric is a potent antioxidant and a traditional Ayurvedic remedy for allergies. If the outdoor grill is covered with snow, these work just as well on an indoor grill or in the broiler. For a simple side, thread cipollini onions, red-pepper chunks, and mushrooms on a skewer and brush with olive oil to grill alongside the chicken.

Dried mushrooms and winter vegetables add fiber and nutrients (especially itamins A and C) to this healthy and hearty winter meal. You probably won't find a shank bone, called for in the recipe, in the meat case of the grocery store but the butcher will likely have them in the back. The bones are browned and simmered along with the meat to enhance the flavor of the soup and then removed before serving. Drop biscuits or toasted baguette slices complete the meal.

This comforting shellfish stew is low in calories and packed with protein. Shrimp and clams are especially high in zinc, a mineral needed by the body to create insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar. Zinc has also been found to reduce the symptoms and duration of colds and flu. If you'd like, stir in some brown rice or quinoa to get in a serving of whole grains and to boost your intake of fiber.

Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson served this dish to kids attending a YMCA cooking class and won rave reviews from them. It's not just tasty and kid-approved, though—it's also rich in protein and healthy fats. Although they may sound like an unlikely pair, maple syrup and mustard combine for a tangy, sweet glaze that's perfect for the robust flavor of tuna. Samuelsson's Pear-Potato Salad makes the perfect side.

This seafood stew takes about ten minutes of active time and then simmers fragrantly for half an hour while you unwind with a glass of the red wine that goes into the recipe (another good reason only to cook with wine you enjoy drinking). The vitamin C in the tomato-y broth helps your body absorb the iron in the seafood more efficiently. For quick crostini to serve alongside, brush whole-wheat baguette slices with olive oil and toast in the oven until browned.

Kale is a nutritional over-achiever, providing several days' worth of vitamins A, C, and K, and a decent amount of fiber and calcium to boot. Note: The soup is relatively high in sodium, which you can reduce by choosing a lower-sodium sausage and/or salting the broth with a light hand.

Buffalo (or bison) meat is becoming increasingly popular as a healthful alternative to beef. Its flavor is quite similar to that old standby—and not gamy, as some people fear—but it tends to be much leaner, so take care not to overcook it. Look for it fresh or frozen in the meat section of your grocery store or at your butcher or local farmers' market. Fire-roasted red pepper sauce adds vibrant color, smoky flavor, and loads of vitamin C.

This robust ribollita or soup—made with garlic, beans, tomatoes, kale, and a little ham—simmers fragrantly for an hour, creating great home-cooked flavor, but requires only about 20 minutes of active time. And it tastes even better the next day. Kale is a nutritional all-star: A single serving boasts a day's worth of vitamin C and E and even a couple of grams of protein! It's also a good vegetarian source of absorbable calcium. Because it can tolerate cold temperatures, fresh kale is available at most farmers' markets through late fall.

The fresh flavors of basil, oregano, tomato, and olives in this grilled tuna dish summon up warmer, sunnier climes—a nice trick as the days get shorter and darker. When making the marinade for the tuna steaks, feel free to substitute a tablespoon of anchovy paste for the finely chopped filets referenced in the recipe—both are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. For dessert, have store-bought frozen yogurt or, if you have time, make Lemon-Ginger Frozen Yogurt.

If you've hated Brussels sprouts since childhood, you owe it to yourself to give this most delicious and nutritious vegetable another chance. Roasting the sprouts with pine nuts in a bit of butter and olive oil brings out a mellow, nutty sweetness. Brussels sprouts are a terrific source of vitamin C, with an entire day's supply in just one serving. They are also rich in vitamin K, which is essential for strong bones. Serve this rich-tasting side dish on its own for a light supper, or with roasted pork tenderloin for a robust fall meal. For dessert, have slimmed down New-Style Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pudding.

This smoked chicken breast salad is a complete meal by itself, including protein, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty acids. The citrus juices used to dress the chicken and the salad provide vitamin C, which will help the body better absorb the iron in the dish. Grapefruit juice, in particular, is also a good source of vitamin A and potassium. (If you take prescription medications, check with your pharmacist before eating grapefruit. It's been shown to increase the absorption of certain drugs, which can lead to dangerous side effects.)

Buffalo (or bison) is quite a bit leaner than beef. In fact, most of the fat in this dish comes from the heart-healthy olive oil. Finely chopped portobello mushrooms help keep the burgers moist and add delicious earthy flavor. A sweet and crunchy slaw makes the perfect accompaniment. If you prefer a low-carb meal, skip the bun—or choose a whole-grain bun rather than a white one for added fiber and nutrients. For dessert: Cranberry and Vanilla Bean Sorbet.

Chicken stewed Moroccan-style, with winter vegetables, spices, and dried fruit, makes a nutritious, balanced, and deeply satisfying one-dish meal. Squash, yams, and apricots are all high in beta-carotene (which your body converts to vitamin A) and fiber. Tomatoes are also a good source of cancer-fighting lycopene. You can cut prep time by buying peeled and cubed butternut squash from the grocery store. For a superspeedy side, try whole-wheat couscous.

In this 15-minute recipe, simple seared tuna is dressed up with a soy, lime, ginger, and scallion dipping sauce. Yellowfin tuna, which we used in our nutritional analysis, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids—compounds that have been found to protect against heart disease by lowering triglycerides and improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to potentially damaging (LDL) cholesterol. Omega 3s have also been linked to lower incidences of both Alzheimer's and depression. Use a low-sodium soy sauce to reduce your salt intake. Serve with Wilted Watercress with Garlic. The side is a great source of vitamins C and K, which help to keep bones and joints healthy. Note: Some types of tuna are high in mercury.

Thinly sliced eggplant stands in for pasta in these cannelloni, reducing the carbs and adding extra fiber. A brilliantly colored sauce of roasted red peppers, garlic, and shallots ups the nutritional ante and provides an entire day's supply of vitamin C (which makes the iron in this vegetarian dish more absorbable by the body). And even with a creamy goat cheese filling, this dish remains low in fat and calories. Stick with the Italian theme and have Vin Santo Zabaglione with Orange and Grapefruit for dessert.
