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.

This hearty vegetarian entrée features quinoa, which has a distinctive nutty flavor and much more protein than rice does. Carrots and winter squash are among the most nutritious of those "highly colored vegetables" you're supposed to be eating more of. A spicy mix of ginger, garlic, turmeric, cayenne, and other aromatics make this dish anti-inflammatory and anti-aging as well. The stew can be prepared ahead and tastes even better the next day.

This is really a meat-and-mushroom loaf, with crimini mushrooms and ground turkey in almost equal quantities. The mushrooms 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.

Brilliant greens, deep-orange yams, and crispy browned tofu with a delectable mustard-seed crust all add up to one gorgeous meal. It's also a nutritional powerhouse: The soy protein in tofu helps to lower cholesterol and may protect against several forms of cancer. Hearty kale is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, and sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber and cancer-fighting beta-carotene.
