Almond-Tofu Veggie Burgers
Serves 4 / Serve these moist, protein-packed burgers with sprouts, avocado, and sliced tomato. Toast almonds in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or purchase already toasted. View recipe

Walnut-Basil Pesto with Penne
Serves 4 / This simple, less-expensive pesto uses walnuts, rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Be sure they are very fresh; older walnuts can taste bitter. Processing the basil and cheese separately helps each chop more finely and evenly. For even more nutrients, add small broccoli florets to the pasta water 2 minutes before pasta is done. View recipe

In marketing natural products in the food service industry, we have gone out of our way to define natural as we all did years ago in the natural products industry. No artificial flavors, colors, minimally processed, no preservatives and now, non-GMO.  I vote to maintain natural as a certification that our industry supports and defines.
