This is an easy and so yummy recipe with very few ingredients. I like to serve it with pasta, chicken and garlic toast to make a well rounded dinner. I hope you enjoy this as much ans my family and the kids at our center.
*cook 7 cups of cauliflower florets in 4 cups of low sodium(or homemade) chicken stock with 2 cups of water until fork tender and let cool. Do Not Drain Liquid!!! * once cool all 2-4 tablespoons of roasted garlic (more depending on your taste preference), 1/2 cup milk or cream, 1 tsp pepper, 1 1/2 tsp parsley and mix together using a hand held blender * reheat on stove top and serve with your favourite pasta :) - 2 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1 cup spinach puree(I use fresh spinach) - 1 can no salt diced tomatoes - small whole wheat tortillas - shredded cheese - shredded lettuce - sour cream - salsa * brown ground beef with tomatoes and spinach puree * once cooked fill tortillas with mixture place side by side in a baking dish and top with cheese and bake at 350 till cheese is melted ( about 10 minutes) * remove from oven and top with shredded lettuce, salsa and sour cream serve immediately It is safe to say that almost all children enjoy a grilled cheese sandwich so why not hide a little something extra in it! A grilled cheese is a perfect hiding place to add an orange puree. Using pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato or butternut squash puree is a good way to add extra nutrition to your sandwich without really changing the look or colour or the taste. I make it the same way as you normally would using brick shredded cheddar cheese, only I spread the puree on the inside of both the top and the bottom of your sandwich. It grills the same and I have recently found out that if you are making large amounts you can use a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven, turning once to ensure that it browns on both sides... Mmmm Enjoy! ;) Thank you Jessica Seinfeld for the great Idea!

2 cups flour 1/2 cup wheat germ 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups beet puree 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup cocoa powder 2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 cup boiled water 1/4 room temp margarine * mix together ingredients and bake in greased cup cake tins at 350 until they come out toothpick clean approximately 18 minutes and cool * frost and top as desired ENJOY ! So I tried something New! I made carrot crust pizzas last week and I froze the juice that was squeezed out, like I normally would but I used it in these muffins instead of a sauce like usual...So glad I did, they were delish!
* the fresh carrot juice is so sweet that you do not need much sugar 2 cups flour 1/2 a cup of wheat germ 2 eggs 1/3 cup of sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 cup of butter 2 tsp vanilla 2 1/2 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries 3/4 cup of fresh/frozen carrot juice mix and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes * makes 18 muffins Such a yummy and easy snack! You can also get the kids to help with these :)
Mix together 1 cup dry oatmeal ( I used quick oats), 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 a cup of ground flax or wheat germ and 1/4 of raisins. In a microwave safe bowl mix together 1/3 of a cup honey and 1/2 a cup of wowbutter. Microwave wet ingredients for 2 15 second cycles * do not do 30 seconds! wowbutter does not like heat as much as regular peanut butter so you have to heat it gently Then mix both bowls together and roll into small balls makes 2 dozen Enjoy :) Makes a great morning snack, but also great for after school!
Take 1 banana cut in half length way, 2 flax seed or any flavour of tortilla, Wowbutter, and nut free granola - Cover tortilla in Wowbutter, sprinkle with granola, put 1 half of the banana in and roll it up... I cut them into 5 pieces It is also a good way to get kids in the kitchen, the whole snack can be made using a butter knife :) 1 watermelon - peeled and cut with flat bottom and top
whipping cream fresh fruit to decorate pat water melon dry once it is peeled and cut with a flat bottom and top, cover with whipping cream and top with fresh fruit Enjoy! so Easy, so Delicious and It's good for you :) |
