Sweet Potato Wedges
Sweet potato is an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta carotene) and also a good source of Vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Olive oil has multiple health benefits since it is rich in  linoleic acid [omega-6] and mono-unsaturated fatty acids [MUFA] that helps in lowering LDL or "bad cholesterol" and increases HDL or "good cholesterol" in the blood.

Crunchy Vegetable Stir Fry
Broccoli can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will cook it by steaming. The fiber-related components in broccoli do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they've been steamed. Eating foods with a natural fiber like broccoli can prevent constipation, maintain a healthy digestive tract and lower the risk of colon cancer. Cauliflower, one of the several cruciferous vegetables, is an ideal weight-loss companion for meatless meals.

Brown Rice Kheer
Brown rice is a good source of thiamin, niacin, and vitamin B6. Brown rice is high in fiber and is known to aid in weight loss. The addition of nuts makes this recipe healthier as they are a source of good fat. Milk provides us with protein and calcium, which is necessary for healthy bones. Dates/figs are natural sweeteners and provide the necessary sweetness to this wonderful dish. They are also rich in micronutrients such as iron and copper.
