Coffee-Braised Pot Roast with Caramelized Onions http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/coffee_braised_pot_roast_with_caramelized_onions.html From EatingWell: Fall 2004, October 1998, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004) This recipe is reminiscent of a pot roast made with onion-soup mix, but the flavors are true and pure–and nobody misses the excess sodium. (For a slow-cooker variation, see below.) 10 servings, about 3 ounces meat & 1/3 cup gravy each | Active Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 3 1/4 hours Ingredients 1 4-pound beef chuck roast, (see Ingredient note), trimmed…
Eggplant & Chickpea Stew http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/eggplant_chickpea_stew.html From EatingWell: January/February 2011 This tasty vegetarian stew, studded with plenty of eggplant and protein-rich chickpeas, is reminiscent of ratatouille.

Serve over quinoa or soft polenta with sautéed spinach on the side. 8 servings, 1 1/4 cups each | Active Time: 45 minutes | Total Time: 4 3/4-8 3/4…
Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/wine_tomato_braised_chicken.html From EatingWell: January/February 2011 Here chicken thighs cook in a simple herb-infused tomato-and-wine sauce. The bone-in thighs give it plenty of hearty flavor, and since you cook them without the skin, it keeps the dish healthy. There’s plenty of sauce, so serve it over pappardelle or brown rice. Steamed broccoli or sautéed broccoli rabe tossed with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice complete the meal. 10 servings | Active Time: 45 minutes…
