Stuffed peppers
Veggie stuffed peppers that even my meat eating Dad gave a thumbs up to! Peppers stuffed with stewed tomatoes, onions, brown rice, baby bok choy and broccoli. Delish!
Recipes
Super Food Pesto!
This pesto recipe was so good and made from healthy ingredients that it is forcing me out of my blog retirement. I usually get so much basil from my weekly farm share I don’t know what to do with it. The recipe was so easy! We had it for dinner one night over pasta and veggies and then ate it as a dip with baby carrots. We all had it…
No Guilt Ice Cream!
Take a look at the “ice cream” Anthony made last week. Okay, it’s not really ice cream, but it is sooo good! We used to eat a lot of Ben and Jerry’s in my house, but this stuff is sooo much better for you and won’t add on the extra pounds. It really satisfies my after dinner sweet craving and it is made of just fruit! To make the ice…
Homemade Sushi Dinner!
I got this great little sushi kit at the Basil Bandwagon last night. Anthony rolled up these fabulous rolls and Evan inhaled them! This was a last minute thing and look how colorful it turned out! We had beat & avocado roll, avocado & mango roll, beat & sweat potato roll and a sweet potato & avocado roll. Yum! Next time we will make it healthier and get the kit…
Leigh Ann’s Tofu with Peanut-Ginger Sauce
This was delish! Really, it was sooo good. I just modified it a little. I doubled the recipe, but instead of doubling the tofu, I added in some steamed broccoli instead. Thanks Leigh Ann for the recipe!! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/tofu-with-peanut-ginger-sauce-1270726
Red Cabbage
I am not sure how this is going to taste, but look at the colors! Steamed red cabbage, spinach, black beans and corn salsa. Not very kid friendly, but maybe if you stick it in soft taco?
Stewed Greens
Sometimes I have such a backlog of greens from the farm I just put a whole bunch in a pot with a can of diced tomatoes, some corn for sweetness and a little Italian seasoning. It comes out so good! Even Ev commented on how good it smelled while I was cooking it tonight. Let’s see if he actually eats some for dinner tomorrow. This batch has kale, spinach and…
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.
Vegan Eggplant Rollatini
The vegan eggplant rollatini is by far my favorite recipe. It is so good, and the cashew ricotta is so creamy it really makes the dish! Also, the key to cooking this eggplant healthily is baking it so you don’t have to use tons of oil to make it soft. It’s a little work so I usually don’t do it on a weeknight, but if I do make it I…
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.
