Steamed Kale
I love steamed Kale! So delicious! It is very easy to wash the kale and then just scrape if off the stems, rip it into bite size pieces and steam it.
Lunch
Veggie Chili
Veggie Chili is a good stand by to make as the days get chillier. We usually put it over a bed of spinach or some other greens. Sometimes it is hard to get the kids to eat chili so I sometimes make a quesadilla or tacos out of it for them.
Pumpkin Soup
Ev begged me for some pumpkin soup the other day. We had just came back from pumpkin picking so I just used one of the medium sized pumpkins we got. I cut up the pumpkin, cubed it and cut the skin off. I then boiled it with one onion in and a box of veggie broth until soft. I added some pepper, cumin and cinnamon and then blended it all…
Carrots with the greens still on

Pizza, pizza, pizza!
Anthony loves pizza! Here we made our own on a whole wheat tortilla, piled on the veggies and sprinkled a little Daiya vegan cheese. The more veggies the better!

Pumpkin and Butternut Squash Soup
We got a butternut squash and cooking pumpkin from our farm pickup this week so I decided to make soup out of it. I peeled and cubed both the pumpkin and the squash. I then cut two onions and cooked them in a large pot with about a half an inch of water. We usually don’t use any oil and cook onions and things in water instead. Once the onions…

Veggie Burrito
This is my favorite and a good ole stand by, the veggie burrito. Inside contents: Amy’s low salt refried black beans black beans Spinach and lots of it! Avocado Mango Salsa Wrapped in a tortilla with avocado and salsa and some cherry tomatoes on the side. Yumm!!
Veggie sandwich with chili
This sandwich is a quick, easy healthy choice. It’s on a pita with a layer of hummus, crumbled up Sunshine veggie burger, avocado, fresh spinach and salsa. The Sunshine burgers are the best because they are made from rice, seeds and veggies and have no soy fillers. I get them at the Basil Bandwagon in Flemington. On the side is some leftover chili I found in the fridge. This is…
