This recipe is great if you're in a hurry. Layer everything into a solo cup and eat it on the way to work! This falls into my "carbalicious" category, but it does contain at least some fiber, fat and protein. On the glycemic load scale, it's still pretty good compared to a rice cake. I also consider it comfort food -- sweet, crunchy, medium fat, fruity AND you get to eat it with a spoon.
This is something my mom has done for me and my brothers during school and on breaks, (we're home schooled.) so, this would be a great lunch for back to school.
I took my Mother's spaghetti recipe and made it my own, and organic :o).

The classic kitchen sink cookie, these are easy to customize to the recipient's individual tastes simply by switching out candies and nuts. Adapted from Desserts in Jars: 50 Sweet Treats that Shine.
This is a fast, frugal and versatile recipe that happens to be gluten free and vegan – kids love the small size (perfect for a quick lunch), and adults don’t have to feel guilty about grabbing one for a snack thanks to the protein and fibre in the chickpea flour. I like using salsa as my “pizza sauce” but use whatever you fancy – and if you like cheesy ‘za feel free to pile it on and broil it a few moments until melted.
This is a great way to "sneak" veggies in on your family and friends (or yourself!) - the taste of the sweet, tangy apple overpowers the bland zucchini and the whole mixture melds into a thick, rich spread perfect for toast or baking.

This yeast-raised doughnut recipe is heavily adapted from Heidi Swanson’s website, and made to mimic the Tim Horton’s triple chocolate doughnut. Don't over bake these, if anything, under bake them a bit - they will continue baking outside the oven for a few minutes. You want an interior that is moist and tender - not dry. The dough can be made and baked a day ahead if necessary (store loosely covered at room temperature), but they need to be served within a few hours of being filled and glazed, otherwise they will go soggy.
I made these based on a recipe from Hannah's blog Bittersweet. She's a culinary genious! These brownies are lower-fat, gluten free, vegan and the best fudgy dessert ever! I modified the original recipe slightly, using chocolate chips and peanuts, amongst other things. I can't wait to make this again!

A wonderful chocolate treat with the unique addition of the Italian-based ingredients of semolina flour and olive oil.
All the goodies that go into my cookbook's Tag-A-Long Snack Mix, in cookie form! My mom loves these almost as much as the mix itself!
These are a great vegetarian lunch-on-the-go that’s big on taste but light on calories and fat. Each crispy pocket gives way to a gooey, spicy and garlicky cheese-covered broccoli filling.
Crunchy, crispy chocolate wafer cookies that are great for making crumb crusts or cookie sandwiches! Freeze the dough, then slice and bake as needed!
This is one of those "stone soup" recipes, where pretty much anything is fair game - I love the flavour of the sweet onion and baby corn with the crunch of the bean sprouts myself, but add what you like!
You will never be able to guess that these rich, moist and decadent vegan brownies are almost fat free, whole grain and reduced in sugar! Frost with a dab of Sweet Potato Frosting for an extra treat!
Chives, thyme, green onions and parsley add an herbaceous flair to crispy mashed potato waffles. The kids at school said they had a "French fry" taste, and they are a cheap and easy option for breakfast or dinner.
Ground chufa nuts (tigernuts) add a sweet and earthy note to these gluten free, vegan cookies, while chopped ones add texture. The surprising bit? They're not nuts at all - so allergy sufferers can indulge too!
