Hidden Veggies: episode 1 Broccoli Sweet Potato Tots. I created this recipe 4.5 years ago and till this day this is one of my favorite recipes; I love its flavor.
When creating this recipe, I remember wanting a nutritious tot recipe that also included vegetables. Additionally, I decided to use broccoli and sweet potatoes as my choice of veggies because my kids loved eating steamed broccoli and sweet potatoes. As result, I decided to turn those veggies into tots. I added almond flour for extra nutrients and a flax-egg (at that time). Therefore, a flax-egg makes for a great egg substitution here. What’s more, these tots will not be overly mushy and won’t fall apart once baked.

Full recipe (along with the step-by-step instructions) are on nutritiouskidsfoods.com. I will also add a direct link to it on my stories or comment VEGGIES and I will send the recipe right to your dm

You will also find a full video tutorial for this recipe on the site 😊

Stay tuned for episode 2

My kids love this recipe! The apples and pears provide such a delicious flavor without the added sugars or added sweetness. Once cooked and cooled, this recipe can be mashed with a fork until you have reached your desired consistency, or can blend it in a blender to create a smooth purée.

I recently served it as a side with my Spinach Cookies or spread some in-between 2 of my Spinach Cookies to help create a tasty cookie sandwich!

⭐️the full recipe (along with the step-by-step instructions) are available on nutritiouskidsfoods.com . I will also attach a link to the recipe on my stories

With only 3-ingredients, these Chaffles are easy to make and taste just like an omelette to me. I like to add nutritional yeast for extra nutrients and flavor, but that ingredient can also be left out.

This recipe is great to serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:
Makes about 4 mini Chaffles
🧇2 large eggs
🧇1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
🧇1 teaspoon Nutritional yeast, optional

Method:
Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk. Add the nutritional yeast and mix in a whisking motion to incorporate. Add the cheese and mix to combine.

Heat a waffle maker (I used a mini waffle maker). Make the waffles according to the waffle maker’s instructions.

I scooped about 2.5-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the heated mini waffle maker and allowed it to cook for about 2 minutes or until the light turned off. I also made sure the waffles were golden brown.

Allow to cool.
Cut into strips or into desired pieces and enjoy!

For the many years that I’ve been sharing recipes, this has been my most popular recipe!
With only 4-ingredients, these Spinach Cookies are easy to make and nutritious. I created this recipe when my oldest was a toddler. I was looking for a nutrient-dense cookie that also included a leafy green. I couldn’t find one, so I created my own. After many attempted recipe trials, I finally came up with a 4-ingredient nutrient-dense cookie that was easy to make and approved by my toddler! Till this day, all 4 of my kids enjoy eating these cookies!

If you’ve tried this recipe, I’d love to know your thoughts. I always like hearing from you ❤️

The full recipe along with the step-by-step instructions (and my video tutorial which I had filmed years ago-when I was still learning how to edit 🙃) is available on NutritiousKidsFoods.com. Or comment COOKIES and I will send the link right to you!

Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes

Have you tried sheet pan pancakes? They are such a quick and easy way to make pancakes. Here I’ve added almond flour and ground flaxseed for some extra nutrients. Additionally, these pancakes are moist and fluffy.
They’re also freezer-friendly (can warm it up in the microwave for about 40 seconds or until it’s warmed through).

Ingredients:
🫐2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
🫐1 cup almond flour
*or may use only 2 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
🫐1/4 cup ground flaxseed
🫐2 tablespoons baking powder
🫐1/2 teaspoon baking soda
🫐1/3 cup coconut sugar, add more or less depending on your preference.
🫐4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
🫐2 large eggs
🫐1 cup sour cream
🫐1 tablespoon vanilla extract
🫐2 cups whole milk
🫐zest from a lemon
🫐1 cup of blueberries

Method:
Position rack on lower level and preheat oven to 425F.

Butter a sheet pan with butter, place parchment paper and butter parchment paper as well. Set it aside.

To a large bowl, add the all purpose flour, almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and coconut sugar. Mix with fork in whisking motion to combine. Set it aside.
To a separate bowl, melt the butter. Add the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the sour cream and mix to combine. Finally, add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
Mix to combine. Add the lemon zest and mix.
Transfer the batter to the buttered sheet pan and spread it out evenly. Tap the sheet pan against the counter 2 times to help release air bubbles. Garnish the top with the blueberries.
Bake for 20 minutes (rotating half-way through the baking time) or until tops are golden brown.

Serve on its own, with maple syrup, fruit or your favorite jam.

Pasta with Veggie Meat Sauce

This is one of my favorite go-to weeknight meals since it comes together quickly and is a family favorite. My grandmother and mom would make a variation of this dish when I was a kid. I have changed it up a bit by adding shredded zucchini and kale to it.

Ingredients:
▪️1 pound of pasta, I used Cavatelli
▪️1 pound of ground beef or turkey.
▪️1 onion, small diced
▪️3 garlic cloves, minced
▪️28 ounces jarred marinara sauce
▪️1 cup shredded zucchini, moisture wrung out
▪️3/4 to 1 teaspoon of salt, add more or less depending on your preference
▪️1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
▪️1 cup spinach or 1 large kale, finely diced
▪️1/2 cup cilantro or parsley, finely diced

Method:
Cook pasta according to its directions or to your liking. Drain the water and set it aside.
Allow the skillet to get hot and add the thawed ground beef. Allow it to cook for a few minutes, mixing occasionally, until the pink is no longer visible. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Mix to combine and cook (mixing occasionally) until the meat is fully cooked.
Add the marinara sauce and mix to combine. Add the salt, black pepper, and shredded zucchini. Mix to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the kale and cilantro. Mix to combine. Cook for a minute. Turn the heat off and transfer the sauce to the pasta. Mix to combine and allow the pasta with the sauce to sit for 5-10 minutes (covered). Plate, let it cool, and serve.

Here’s a simple (yet nutritious) after school snack for my kids

⭐️ adding a source of protein (like the cheese) helps keep their tummies fuller (I call it happier ☺️) for a longer period of time.

🍐 Fruits: mandarin and pears
🥕 Veggie: carrots
🧀 Protein: String Cheese
🫐 Once Upon a Farm’s Pouch: we love their pouches. They’re made with nutritious and clean ingredients without the added sugars. This one here contains fruits, veggie, and coconut milk!

Quick and Easy Meal that my kids enjoy eating: One-Pot Butter Pasta, cooked in bone broth

This One-Pot meal comes together quickly, which is especially helpful for those busy days! Additionally, I cooked the pasta with bone broth which not only provides flavor but also great nutrients. Bone broth is known to be good for gut health along with other great nutrients. Additionally, this 16 ounce container contains 19 grams of protein. I like to use Kettle and Fire’s chicken Bone Broth

I served the pasta with a side of leftover chicken and steamed vegetables.

Ingredients:
▪️2 tablespoons avocado oil
▪️1 tablespoon minced garlic
▪️16.9 ounces chicken bone broth
▪️1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
▪️1/2 cup heavy cream
▪️1.5 cups uncooked small-sized pasta like elbow pasta or macaroni
▪️3/4 teaspoon salt
▪️1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
▪️2 tablespoons unsalted butter
▪️1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method:
Heat the oil over medium heat in a pot.
Add the garlic and sauté for 20 seconds.
Add the bone broth, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Once boils, add salt, ground black pepper and the uncooked pasta. Allow to come back up to a boil and mix to prevent the pasta from sticking.
While it’s still boiling, lower the heat to about a medium-low (or to where there’s a low boil), cover with a lid and allow to cook for about 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, while stirring a few times during the cooking time.
Note: there should still be some liquid left in the pot.
Add the butter and parmesan cheese and mix to incorporate.
Turn the heat off and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed by the pasta or is to your desired consistency.

Quick and Easy Meal that my kids enjoy eating: One-Pot Butter Pasta, cooked in bone broth This One-Pot meal comes together quickly, which is especially helpful for those busy days! Additionally, I cooked the pasta with bone broth which not only provides flavor but also great nutrients. Bone broth is known to be good for gut health along with other great nutrients. Additionally, this 16 ounce container contains 19 grams of protein. I like to use Kettle and Fire’s chicken Bone Broth I served the pasta with a side of leftover chicken and steamed vegetables. Ingredients: ▪️2 tablespoons avocado oil ▪️1 tablespoon minced garlic ▪️16.9 ounces chicken bone broth ▪️1 cup low-sodium chicken broth ▪️1/2 cup heavy cream ▪️1.5 cups uncooked small-sized pasta like elbow pasta or macaroni ▪️3/4 teaspoon salt ▪️1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper ▪️2 tablespoons unsalted butter ▪️1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese Method: Heat the oil over medium heat in a pot. Add the garlic and sauté for 20 seconds. Add the bone broth, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boils, add salt, ground black pepper and the uncooked pasta. Allow to come back up to a boil and mix to prevent the pasta from sticking. While it’s still boiling, lower the heat to about a medium-low (or to where there’s a low boil), cover with a lid and allow to cook for about 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, while stirring a few times during the cooking time.

Baked Banana Boats

These Banana Boats can be baked in the oven or roasted over a campfire. They are fun to make and very versatile in that you may add any of your favorite ingredients. For my banana boats, I used ground flaxseed, ground cinnamon and semi-sweet mini chocolate chip. They turned out delicious!

You can make as many banana boats as you’d like. Here, I’ve included the recipe for 1 banana boat.

Ingredients
🍌1 banana, make sure it’s not green and somewhat ripe
🍌1/2 teaspoon ground flaxseed
🍌Sprinkling of ground cinnamon
🍌1 teaspoon semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

Note: add more or less of these ingredients depending on the size of the bananas

Method:
Remove any stickers/ items or objects that might be on the banana but leave the skin on.
Split the top part of the skin on the banana lengthwise making sure to leave the ends untouched.
Open the skin slightly so you can fill the toppings.
Coat it with the ground flaxseed, sprinkle some of ground cinnamon, and add the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips.

Wrap the entire banana (including the stem) in aluminum foil making sure to nestle it down on the bottom so it sits up straight on its own.
Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 15 minutes or roast it over a campfire for a few minutes or until the chocolate is melted and the banana is soft.

Be careful of the aluminum foil as it might be hot. Allow it to cool, undo the aluminum foil being careful of any steam that might arise. Mash and mix the banana with a fork to help combine the ingredients. Allow it to cool and enjoy.

After School Snack for My Kids:
I had frozen some of my Walnut Energy Balls- the recipe and freezing instructions can be found on nutritiouskidsfoods.com . The day before I was ready to serve them, I placed the energy balls in the refrigerator to thaw overnight. By snack time, they were ready to serve.
I served it with a bowl of my Blueberry Mango Smoothie (it’s so tasty)!

The smoothie can be served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon or in a cup served with a straw.
Additionally, I topped the smoothie with some granola and blueberries.
Note: blueberries are considered a choking hazard for children under the age of 5. They should be quartered, halved or mashed.
