My husband makes these and my son loves just loves them, as do I.
My 4 year old says these are the best he's ever had. I was looking for a healthy version to our old favorite. These are high in fiber and protein.
This is originally from La Vita Vegan. The best I have found! I had to modify it from it's original a bit due to potential nut allergies, so I changed the nuts to hemp seeds and it didn't alter the taste at all. They are a hit with my 5 year old.
These little pizzas are perfect for kids and healthy, too! One pizza is only 140 calories (Meaning you can eat them all for only 560 calories if you wanted to! ☺)
*I recently followed this recipe and found that it was too much tomato sauce because the bread was very moist after cooking. I recomend using a little less or even half less, if you choose.*
This is a quick & easy recipe that you can adapt with whatever veggies you have on hand or whatever your family likes.
* I add the carrots to the boiling pasta so they're easy to chew for my toddler *
This is a lighter version of mac & cheese with added veggies. My 13 month old won't eat butternut squash by itself but she has no clue it's in mac & cheese. It works for husbands too :)
The day I made this I only had regular macaroni but I would normally use whole wheat macaroni. I also season it with some black pepper, oregano, and paprika. I don't like salt so I hardly use it and my family doesn't even notice.
Really good homemade pizza crust; could use whole wheat flour too--I just put the original recipe down.
So simple, this is a pineapple lovers delight! Summertime will not be complete without these for me! Also a great way to slip in some yogurt for the kids.
This vitamin giant can substitute for an entire breakfast. Great tasting and so very nutritious you might just throw out those hard to swallow vitamins! The recipe makes 2 - 4 servings (it is calculated here as 2). I have a serving then freeze the rest (sometimes in ice pop trays) for a quick evening compensation on those days when I can't always eat well. The kids will not complain about this for breakfast either. You can vary the taste by using any other frozen fruit you like. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do ... they are 'TOTALLY' good!
This is a great weekend cooking project (that kids just love). It often goes into my freezer so I have fresh whole wheat (inexpensive) pasta for the coming month! The dough can make whatever shape you like (bowtie, pene, etc). Then you are ready during the weekdays to just throw some into a soup; or in roasted veggies and a little olive oil & garlic, or just add a simple tasty sauce. The goodness of homemade in minutes! I make a batch of this dough and roll into 4 equal size balls (each ball equals one 'serving') as they make all four of my favorite types of pasta (or you could do just one big batch of linguini, etc). I use one ball for Spinich & Mozzerella Ravioli; 1 for chicken breast & fresh parmesean tortellini; 1 for linguini and the last ball for angelhair pasta. OR the recipe could easily be cut down for doing just one of the pastas. Remember, fresh pasta cooks a lot faster than storebought. I boil my linguini only 4 minutes (even quicker than many packaged side dishes). You just have to keep testing the pasta until it is still a little bit firm (aldente). Do not rinse as it will continue to cook in the bowl a bit).
actually cooked in the margarine on the stove- air popper is broken, but can be made with air popped
