Charlotte loves hummus and pita bread or sliced red peppers. If things aren't already sliced and mostly prepared, he reaches for whatever is easiest and not necessarily the most healthy. <br />She also loves peanut butter and honey sandwiches on Dave's Killer Bread, scrambled eggs with homemade pesto, quesadillas with cheese, beans and wheat tortillas. Pre-sliced apples and peanut butter. <br />Organic soups that have been drained and rinsed a bit (too much sodium, otherwise). <br />Turkey meatloaf or meatballs. I made a Lentil "meat"loaf (google it) and she LOVED it. <br />Homemade burritos with black beans and cheese and onions freeze great and heat up quickly. <br />Sweet potato "fries" baked in the oven--olive oil, salt and pepper. Mmmm. She also loves baked red potatoes with cottage cheese on top! <br />You can take any veggie, peel/slice and roast at 400 degrees with olive oil and salt and pepper (maybe add some onions or garlic) and it's delicious with brown rice, cous cous, quinoa.The Garlick'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404368826661950090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785369351416004084.post-66942920470208159082011-10-07T09:55:43.461-07:002011-10-07T09:55:43.461-07:00Butternut squash nuggets, you can buy a large, alr...Butternut squash nuggets, you can buy a large, already cut into squares, pack at costco for about $5, so convenient. Sesame oil, sesame seeds and some seasoning salt then bake in the oven, or with another sauce. My cousin uses butternut squash puree over macaroni noodles<br /><br />Other winter squashes are in season right now too, delish.<br /><br />Baked eggplant strips, but eggplants are not really in season anymore.<br /><br />Slow cooker, the best thing ever. Saves time in a big way. Google 365crockpot she uses a lot of instant food, but you can always modify, she makes everything in a slow cooker. <br /><br />Make muffins, pumpkin muffins, zucchini muffins with wheat flour and nuts. Protein, and fiber, cut some of the sugar, and muffins are something kids seem to always be okay with eating. And you can freeze them.

It looks great and taste great!<br /><br />Just cut it half, gut it, either use coconut oil and or butter and bake it @ 350 for 45 ish minutes; until the squash is super tender. Test it with a fork. (tender squash= pokes all the way through with a fork)<br /><br />After baking, let it cool for ten minutes and its very delicious. You can either blend it into a cream or just serve as is. <br /><br />Cheese and apples is another good one.<br /><br /> -JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
