4-Ingredients and easy to make: Almond Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:
▪️1 and 1/3 cups almond flour
▪️1/2 cup peanut butter
▪️1/4 cup pure maple syrup
▪️1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional : may add a small pinch of salt to this recipe if your peanut butter doesn’t already contain salt

Method:
▪️Preheat the oven to 350 F.
▪️To a bowl, add the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt (if using). Tip: To help the maple syrup and peanut butter easily release from the measuring cup, simply spray some oil before adding the ingredients. Stir to combine.
▪️Add almond flour. Stir with a fork until the mixture comes together. The dough should stick together when pressed between your fingers and not fall apart.
▪️Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Using a tablespoon measure or a cookie scoop (I used a 1 and 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop), scoop the cookie dough and place it your hand. Roll the dough to help create a ball.
▪️Transfer it to the baking sheet. Using the back of the fork, gently push down against the cookie. Create a cross-hatch pattern on the cookies with the fork.
▪️Bake for 12-13 minutes (depending on the size of the cookies) or until they are done and the bottom of the cookie starts to turn a golden color. Note: the cookies will still be soft. Allow to cool to help them firm up
▪️Allow to sit on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes.
▪️Once the cookies have firmed up, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Blueberry Mango Oat Bars

These Oat Bars are egg-free, dairy-free, and don’t contain any added-sugars. The lemon zest along with the fresh fruits help add great flavor to these bars.

Additionally, it’s soft in texture and good for little ones to enjoy. I used quick cooking rolled oats to help provide a soft texture. However, if don’t want the texture to be too soft, then you may use old-fashioned rolled oats instead. 

Ingredients:
💛1 1/2 cups quick cooking rolled oats (whole grain)
💛1/2 cup filtered room temperature water
💛1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
💛3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
💛1/4 cup shredded carrots 
💛1/4 cup ground flaxseed 
💛1 teaspoon lemon zest 
💛1/2 cup quartered fresh blueberries 
💛1/2 cup small diced ripe mangoes 
💛1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F

Add the oats to a bowl and add 1/2 cup of room temperature filtered water. Mix and allow the oats to sit for 5 minutes. 
Measure 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas and add that to the bowl with the oats. Also add the applesauce, shredded carrot, ground flaxseed and mix to combine. Finally, add the lemon zest, blueberries, mango and the ground cinnamon. Mix to combine.

Butter a 8 inch square baking dish with butter (or may use avocado oil). Place parchment paper on the buttered baking dish (this will prevent the parchment paper from moving) making sure some of the parchment paper is hanging over the baking dish. Butter the parchment paper as well. Add the oat mixture to the baking dish and spread the mixture out evenly. Bake in the oven for  20 minutes.
Allow to sit in the baking dish for 10 minutes then transfer to a wired rack to cool completely (preferably without the parchment paper-once it’s cool enough to handle- so the bottom of the bars don’t get too soggy) . Cut into bars or into desired sized pieces. 
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Spinach Bagel Egg-in-a-Hole

I wanted to re-share this egg-in-a-hole recipe because it is delicious and easy to make . I like to add finely diced spinach to my recipe for extra nutrients. It doesn’t alter the flavor of the recipe.

Here’s what’s in his lunchbox:
🥯 Spinach Bagel Egg-in-a-Hole, see recipe below 😊
🥕 Carrots
🍎 Apples and mandarins
🥛 Milk

Ingredients
💚1 bagel, I used Silver Hills Organic Sprouted Power Bagels
💚1 large egg
💚2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella or Monterey jack cheese
💚3 leaves of spinach, finely diced
💚Small pinch of salt, optional

Method:
🥯Whisk the egg in a bowl.
🥯Add the shredded cheese, finely diced spinach and a small pinch of salt.
🥯Mix to incorporate and set it aside

🥯using a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter (or a 2 inch cookie cutter) cut a round circle in the middle of the bread. Set it aside 

🥯To a pan, add the butter and allow it to melt and get hot (over medium heat).
🥯Add a piece of the bagel, flat side down, to the buttered skillet.
🥯Allow it to toast for a couple of seconds and add a tablespoon of the egg mixture making sure not to over-fill it (more or less depending on how big the hole is) and allow the egg to cook on that side for a bit.
🥯Carefully flip it over and allow the other side to cook.
🥯Transfer to a plate
🥯Continue the same process with the remaining pieces of bagels
🥯Allow to cool and enjoy

A quick and easy dinner: One-Pot Creamy Tomato Spinach Pasta

This meal consists of ground turkey for some protein (or can use ground beef) along with some tomatoes, marinara sauce, basil and parmesan to help add some flavor and finely diced spinach for some leafy greens. 

Ingredients:
🍝1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
🍝1/2 large onion, diced
🍝1 tablespoon minced garlic
🍝1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered (helps minimize cook time)
🍝28 ounces marinara sauce
🍝1/2 cup basil leaves, diced
🍝1 cup heavy cream
🍝1 teaspoon salt
🍝1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 
🍝3 cups water
🍝1 pound uncooked pasta, I used rotini pasta
🍝1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
🍝1 cup spinach or 1 medium/large kale, finely diced 

Method:
1️⃣Heat a large pot and add the ground turkey . Cook until the pink isn’t visible. Add the diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until meat has fully cooked through.
2️⃣Add the quartered grape tomatoes and cook (stirring frequently while mashing the tomatoes) until it has softened, about 5 minutes.
3️⃣Add the marinara sauce, diced basil, heavy cream,salt, and pepper. Mix to combine. Add the pasta and water. Mix to combine.
4️⃣Bring it to a boil , give it a good mix, make sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid, cover it with a lid, lower the heat to medium-low or to where it’s at a low boil.
5️⃣Cook for 15 minutes, stirring a few times along the way. 
6️⃣Add the finely diced spinach and Parmesan cheese. Mix to combine. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 more minutes. 
7️⃣Turn the heat off and let it sit for 15 minutes or longer. The longer it sits, the softer the pasta will become. (I let mine sit for 30 minutes)

How to Make Oatmeal with Amaranth, easy and nutritious breakfast/meal. 

A few months ago, I decided to cook my oats with some amaranth; the amaranth helps add extra nutrients! Amaranth is an ancient grain that is nutritious. Amaranth is rich in protein and fiber. It also contains iron, calcium, potassium, manganese, magnesium and many other nutrients. Additionally, amaranth is said to contain antioxidants and is gluten-free. 

Ingredients:
▪️1 and 1/2 cups of steel cut oats
▪️1/2 cup of amaranth, rinsed well
▪️4 and 1/2 cups of filtered water
▪️1/2 teaspoon of salt
▪️1 tablespoon of butter (salted or unsalted), I used grass-fed salted butter

Method:

1. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of amaranth to the sieve and rinse well with cold water. Drain and set the rinsed amaranth aside.
2. Add the water to a saucepan or to a 3 quart pot over medium heat. Cover it with a lid and allow the water to come to a boil.
3. Add the butter and salt. Mix to combine and allow the butter to melt. Bring back to boil.
4. Add the oats and rinsed amaranth. Mix and bring the mixture back up to a boil.
5. Once the mixture comes up to a boil, mix, cover it with a lid and lower the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, while mixing it a few times along the way.
6. The oatmeal is cooked and ready to serve once the oats and amaranth have softened and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
7. Mix and serve.
8. Add desired toppings

Here’s how I like to wash my grapes..

⚠️grapes are considered a choking hazard for children under the age of 5. Please quarter the grapes. 

🍇 add the grapes to a bowl and rinse them with water. 
🍇 drain the water 
🍇 add salt and baking soda. I usually eyeball this. I tend to buy a bag of grapes. 
🍇for one bag of grapes, I tend to add 1 tablespoon of Himalayan pink salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. 
🍇Toss grapes to coat with the salt/baking soda
🍇Add water and rinse the grapes well with that mixture. Allow it to sit in that water mixture for a few minutes.
🍇Drain the water. Run the grapes under water and transfer to a paper towel or kitchen towel to dry (I tend to pat them dry and then allow them to sit to dry)

Allow it to sit in that water mixture for a few minutes. 🍇Drain the water. Run the grapes under water and transfer to a paper towel or kitchen towel to dry (I tend to pat them dry and then allow them to sit to dry) #washingfruit #howtowashgrapes #foodprep #fruitprep #kidsfood #kidsfoodideas #healthykidsfood #healthykids #kidfriendlyfood #toddlerfood #toddlerfoodideas #kidfriendly #healthytoddlerfood #kidssnacks #easykidsmeals #kitchenhack #cleaninghacks

Yogurt Blueberry Pancakes: easy to make, fluffy and tasty!

My kids love to eat blueberries and pancakes ❤️. As a result, this recipe is a family favorite. Serve it on its own, with a side of fruit, yogurt, compote and/or maple syrup!

Ingredients 
▪️1 and 3/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
▪️3 tablespoons coconut sugar or organic cane sugar
▪️1 teaspoon baking powder
▪️1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
▪️1/4 teaspoon salt
▪️4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
▪️2 large eggs
▪️3/4 cup whole milk greek yogurt
▪️1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 
▪️1 cup whole milk
▪️zest from a lemon
▪️3/4 cup blueberries 

Method:
▪️Add the dry ingredients to a bowl (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt-if using). Mix with a fork in a whisking motion. Set it aside.
▪️To a heat-safe bowl ( I used a glass bowl) add the melted unsalted butter. Also add the eggs and whisk it with a fork.
▪️Add the vanilla extract and yogurt. Mix with a fork (in a whisking motion) to combine. Also, add the milk and mix in a whisking motion to combine.
▪️Transfer the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork to combine. Then, I like to use a spatula to ensure the flour from the bottom of the bowl has been fully incorporated into the batter.
▪️add the lemon zest and mix. Also, add blueberries to the batter. Gently fold (mix it in carefully) into the batter with a spatula.
▪️Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add some butter to lightly coat the pan.

Broccoli Sweet Potato Tots
I created this recipe 5 years ago as I was looking for ways to make nutritious meals for my kids (who were then toddlers). Steamed broccoli with sweet potatoes have been one of my go-to veggie combinations. As a result, I decided to use those ingredients to create this tot recipe. I used almond flour and flax-egg as my binders, which helped add extra nutrients and some flavor. (Here I used a beaten egg in place of the flax-egg). 
It’s easy to make and tasty!
They can be served on their own or with your favorite dip (i.e. hummus, ranch, guacamole etc). 

Ingredients:
🥦1 cup shredded sweet potato
🥦3/4 cup grated or finely diced broccoli
🥦1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
🥦1/2 teaspoon onion powder
🥦1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
🥦1 beaten egg or 1 flax-egg
🥦1/2 cup of almond flour

Method:
Preheat the oven to 400F
Add the shredded sweet potato, finely diced broccoli and shredded cheese to a bowl. (Make sure the broccoli is grated using the part of the box grater or very finely diced)
Mix with a spoon. Add the onion and garlic powder. Mix. Add the beaten egg or flax-egg. Note: if using flax-egg (to a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of filtered water-let it sit for 10 minutes or until it resembles the consistency of a beaten egg). Mix with a spoon to combine. Add the almond flour and mix until the mixture starts to stick together.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the palm of your hand and squeeze it a few times for the mixture to completely come together/stick together. Form them into tots.
Place it on a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper.
Bake it for 10 minutes, carefully remove and turn it over on the other side and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. 
Allow it to cool and serve.

Zucchini Fritters

These zucchini fritters are tasty and such a great way to eat zucchini with leafy greens. I also like to cook my fritters covered with a lid. 

Ingredients:
💚2 cups shredded zucchini
💚1 teaspoon salt
💚1/4 cup frozen corn
💚1/2 cup shredded carrots 
💚1/2 cup cilantro or parsley, finely diced
💚1/4 cup dill, finely diced

💚1 garlic, finely grated using a zester 
💚1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, optional 
💚2 beaten eggs
💚2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Method
Shred the zucchini, measure 2 cups, and place it in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Add the salt and toss it with the zucchini. Allow it sit for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes is up, transfer the zucchini to a kitchen towel and wring (squeeze) out the moisture. 
Transfer the zucchini to a bowl. Also add the corn, carrot, garlic, finely diced cilantro, dill and kale. Mix. Add the crumbled feta. Mix. Add the beaten eggs. Mix. Add the flour and mix to combine. 

Heat a pan. Add a small amount of avocado oil, enough to lightly coat the pan.
Add one tablespoon of the mixture. Flatten it down a bit if needed. 
Cover with the lid and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute 30 seconds or until bottom is golden brown 
Uncover, flip and cook for 1 minute 30 seconds or until golden brown 

Add some more oil to the pan and repeat this process. Cooking times might vary.

Here’s a fun Easter-themed kid’s meal idea!

I used a bunny-shaped waffle maker to create the bunny waffles but a cookie cutter may also be used.
To make a bunny shaped pancake with a cookie cutter, make the pancakes big enough to fit the cutter. Once the pancakes have cooked and cooled, use a cookie cutter to create the fun shapes/looks.

Here’s what I served:
🐰 Easter bunny waffles
🥚 Scrambled eggs
🦋 Butterfly toast
🥕 Shredded carrot “nests” with halved blueberry “eggs”

Note: if you find the shredded carrots are too dry on their own, then also add some shredded apples. The apples will help add moisture and extra flavor- my kids always love that combination

Quick and Easy, Chicken Rice Soup

My grandmother would prepare Chicken Rice Soup when we would get sick. She would use bone-in and skin-on chicken to prepare the broth. Then she would use the homemade broth to prepare the soup. It definitely helped provide some comfort during those sick days.

When I’m looking for a warm, comforting, chicken soup that’s easy to make (and doesn’t require meat to be thawed) I opt for this recipe. My kids love them and I love the nutrients from the Bone Broth. 

📝 I have added step-by-step cooking instructions on my site for this recipe. 

Ingredients:
⭐️3 tablespoons avocado oil
⭐️1 onion, small diced
⭐️1 carrot, skin peeled and thinly diced
⭐️1 celery stick, thinly diced
⭐️3 garlic cloves, minced
⭐️1/2 cup small diced yellow potatoes, skin peeled and cut into small chunks
⭐️1/2 cup organic long grain rice, rinsed well
⭐️32 ounces low sodium chicken broth 
⭐️16.9 ounces chicken bone broth
⭐️1/2 cup filtered water
⭐️2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, (add only 1 tablespoon if don’t want it to be too lemony)
⭐️1 teaspoon salt
⭐️1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method:
Add oil to a pot over medium heat. Allow to get hot. 
Add the onions, carrots and celery. Mix and allow to cook. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the rice and potatoes . Cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, water and bone broth. Stir and allow to come to a boil. Once it starts to boil, stir, lower the heat to where there’s a low-boil and cover the pot with a lid. Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes have cooked.
Add the salt, ground black pepper and lemon juice. 
Simmer for another 4-5 minutes, uncovered. Taste for salt, add more if desired. 
Plate , allow to cool, and serve.
