Calling all crazed women! Here's how to toss together the best darn dinner you've had in years.

Chinese BBQ Pork With Shiitake and Bok Choy
Get over 10% of your daily calcium dose with this saucy, savory dish. Bok choy, a relative of cabbage, provides plenty of vitamin K, and grapefruit adds a burst of tangy flavor (and vitamin C) to the hoisin sauce.

John Kernick

Say yes to tofu! Though this protein-rich soy product is naturally bland, it picks up on the rich flavors of the oils and spices in this dish. The Soba noodles, which are made from buckwheat, pump in over 6 grams of fiber and add a lovely texture to this miso-flavored entrée.

John Kernick

This dish is a cross between jambalaya and stir-fry, and makes a perfect surf and turf supper. Shrimp and chicken sausage add 27 grams of lean protein to the fiber-rich brown rice. Be sure to make use of the potassium-rich zucchini before it goes out of season!

Mediterranean Turkey With Swiss Chard Over Polenta

We borrowed polenta from traditional northern Italian recipes and converted it to this Asian-inspired dish. Similar to spinach, Swiss chard is slightly saltier, but just as rich in iron, fiber, and vitamin K. Its flavor is perfect combined with the tart currants and the deep roasted flavor of pine nuts. Turkey provides plenty of lean protein that keeps this dish filling for under 300 calories.
