Peanut butter (in the satay) contains beneficial monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, folate, niacin, and fiber. Natural peanut butter (non-hydrogenated) has no trans fats.
The yogurt with granola is high in fiber and low in calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. It's great for breakfast or dessert.
Eating a fish like halibut (below) just twice a week raises omega-3 levels at least as well as taking a daily fish oil supplement. Halibut is also a great source of high-quality protein.
Recent research has shown that white button mushrooms (in the cacciatore) may reduce the risk of breast and prostate cancers.
Dill (in the orzo salad) is a good source of calcium, dietary fiber, and iron.
The plum sorbet makes for a pretty healthful treat: It is low in calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
