I have to take a little break from fashion...my wallet is starting to hyperventilate and the word "need" instead of "want" seems to be peppering my shopping vocab. So, I thought I'd turn to one of my other favorite subjects - food! Namely, what do you feed your kids for lunch? It seems I have this quandry everyday around 11:30...I start perusing the shelves, sigh a bit, and contemplate yet another box of Annie's Mac & Cheese. I had grand hopes of a foodie daughter when I was pregnant and did manage to make all her baby food (thanks to my Beaba Babycook - best invention ever!) but she doesn't seem to share my love for it. Yet, that is! I am still adamant about her eating what we eat, and still obsessed with all things organic but my creativity in the kitchen has gone kaput...so I need your ideas! I'd love to hear all your suggestions...
Here's a few of our standbys to get you started:
Every month or so, I steam & puree a bunch of greens from our CSA box and freeze them in ice cube trays...I add these to pasta, eggs, etc so I can sneak in some veggies
I'm also obsessed with M'hamsa Couscous (if you live in Mpls it's at Linden Hills Coop in bulk) - super fast - I boil water, drop in some frozen peas w/the couscous, let it return to a boil, cover and take off flame, after 10min add in olive oil, zest and juice of one lemon, chopped fresh mint, salt and pepper - delish!
Organic Chicken sausages are our healthier alternative to hotdogs...
My favorite sandwich: Smashed Chickpea Sandwich (and favorite food blog) Smitten Kitchen
