These banana oat bars are so good and you don’t have to feel bad about eating them! Ev helped me make this batch. Here is a link to the recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Dr-Fuhrmans-Yummy-Quick-Easy-BananaOat-Bars-223077 We used the optional apple sauce and sprinkled the top with some pumpkin spice! Yum!
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…
For some reason my kids love steamed carrots if the green part is still left on. It’s a total novelty for them. We got these carrots from our CSA farm and they were so tasty. The other shot is of the rest of the dinner, a hodge podge of other veggies and tacos.
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! Even if we order a pie, we try to get it on a whole wheat crust with tons of veggies and ask for no cheese. We also eat a lot of salad with it too, so we don’t eat too much…
I eat fruit and nuts for breakfast every day during the week and I switch it up a little on the weekends. Today I’m having strawberries, pineapple, a banana, and some almonds. I usually buy fruit from the cafeteria at work, which gets a little pricey, but they almost always have strawberries, and sometimes blueberries, and on those days I know it’s worth it. I fill one of those containers,…
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…

Okay, this isn’t dinner, but I thought it was worth posting. I never have time for breakfast. I am usually packing the kids lunch while they eat breakfast. This smoothy is a great way to eat breakfast fast and get some veggies in too. It looks really, really gross, but it tastes really, really good. I promise! I blended a banana, some soy milk (I think Anthony just uses water),…
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!!
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…
