Often, when we talk about diet and nutrition, we talk about what we shouldn't be eating -- processed foods, trans fats, processed sugars, etc. But here's an article that says "yes" over and over again to great tasting foods that you can add to nearly any dish to make it a nutritional powerhouse. Some of my favorites:

• Makeover that meatloaf by substituting the beef with 1 cup of pinto or black beans.
• Add some avocado to that sandwich or salad for a boost in healthy fats.
• Go for color: choose ruby red grapefruit over white, and the darker romaine lettuce over iceberg. Did you know that red and yellow peppers are simply mature green peppers? (I didn't.) That extra color will give you more vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene.
• Thicken your sauces and creamy soups with silken tofu for extra lean protein.
