Once you start tacking dietaries onto recipes — paleo, gluten-free, vegan — the options (and flavors) tend to shrink. Avoid this entirely with a copy of Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking, from eponymous bloggers Dana and John Shultz. Packed with healthy, delicious spin-offs of your favorite dishes, this is one collection that will point you in the right direction.

Stir-fried rice is one of my favorite Asian dishes. However, it’s not always the healthiest, so I swapped in quinoa for added protein and nutritional value.
