I love alliteration (yup I'm a big geek). I also love food. I love healthy yummy food. The misfit loves food. The yummy type-just not so much the healthy type. So I try to get sneaky. I have taken some recipes from Deceptively Delicious and tweaked them until they meet my kitchens guidelines (Jessica Seinfeld likes margarine and low fat reduced calorie things-I prefer REAL food. She also doesn't specify organic-my kitchen does) Here are a few things that have been winning over even the more picky eater in my home.
mighty protein mac and cheese
1 box Gluten free pasta or whole wheat pasta (prepare from instructions on the box)
1/4 cup organic cheddar cheese (or any cheese for that matter cheddar is good because it gives the orange color and a good flavor) shredded
1-1 1/2 cups cooked organic Navy beans (or 1 can if using canned)
a dash of garlic powder (to taste)
a dash of onion powder (to taste)
salt and pepper
dump beans, cheese and seasoning in food processor. Add about a 1/4 cup hot water to food processor and blend until creamy. Pour onto pasta while it is still warm and stir together.
The Navy beans give this pasta dish protein and fiber.
enjoy!
Do you have any healthy toddler friendly recipes that work at your house?
alliteration? You must have learned that big word from you mom as I never heard of it before. You are sooooo smart and such a goooood writer. I guess I shouldn't be so, what? flagrantly proud of you?
