Breakfast:
Apricot and Yogurt Parfait

Substitute dried fruit for fresh apricots, peaches or any of your favorite summer fruits. Top with nuts and a sprinkle of granola for a healthy breakfast.

Lunch:
Spinach, Goat Cheese and Sundried Tomato Panini

Try this satisfying Italian-flavored sandwich. If you don't have a Panini grill, you can easily prepare these popular hot sandwiches in a skillet and weigh it down with a large can. Turn it over once it's brown on the first side and repeat.

Dinner:
Southern Indian Vegetable Curry With Curry Leaves

This flavorful recipe from Chef Jamie Oliver will keep even the reluctant vegetarians in your life interested in this dinner. Make extra for another meal later in the week.
