Pizza, Downsized
Brush a flour tortilla with olive oil and layer slices of tomatoes, thinly sliced or grated part-skim mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. Heat in the oven until the cheese melts.
Steamy, Flavorful Vegetables
Add a bit of water to a saucepan with a teaspoon of olive oil, sea salt, and any kind of vegetable, such as sugar snap peas, broccoli, or cauliflower. Cook the water and oil down until it thickens and forms a bit of a sauce. Finish it off with chopped fresh parsley, chives, and tarragon.
Orange and Arugula Salad
Toss arugula leaves with orange segments, freshly squeezed lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil. "The lemon cuts through the peppery taste of the arugula, and it's a delicious salad with nothing more added to it," Becker says.
A Smooth, Filling Vegetable Soup
Fill a saucepan with water, add a head of chopped cauliflower, a couple of chopped leeks, and a clove of garlic. Cover the pan and boil the water until the cauliflower is tender. Cool slightly and transfer the soup to a blender. Add some salt, a touch of clarified butter, and a pinch of curry powder. Puree and serve.
A No-Bread Sandwich
Sauté boneless chicken breast with ginger, garlic, scallions, and soy sauce. Then wrap it in a large lettuce leaf. "Sprinkle on some toasted cashews or peanuts, and it's even better," Becker says.
