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.
Banana Oat Bars
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!
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…
