Carrot Cake Pancakes

Delicious, nutritious! I love the fact that I can put 3 cups of carrots into breakfast and my family will gobble it up. As always, I make a double-batch to freeze for later in the week. I originally found this recipe on Pinterest, but significantly reduced the sugar and used whole-wheat flour. Variations: • Use […]

Eggplant Ragu on Quinoa

Who knew eggplant could be yummy? It’s probably my least favorite vegetable, but this recipe makes an un-favorite veggie into a delicious meal! I serve it over CMF Quinoa, or if time allows, I make quinoa “cakes”. The quinoa cakes are a great breakfast option, so I make enough go have for dinner and breakfast: […]

The instructions seem long-winded and intimidating but don’t let the step-by-step instructions alarm you. They’re so worth it. Or recruit the kids and make it a family project; it will be fun! I use India Tree food […]

Arugula Frittata

Frittatas are started in an oven-safe skillet cooked on the stovetop and then finished in a pre-heated oven. I like making them for brunch, but frittatas are also fabulous way to use leftovers and make a quick lunch or dinner. Simply beat eggs, mix in leftover cooked vegetables and or meats (I’ve used chicken, sausage, even […]

Healthy Pumpkin Waffles

Pumpkins generally seem to be relegated to Thanksgiving pies. But pumpkins are nutrient-rich and add lovely flavor and texture to food. I’ve learned to keep a can or two of organic pumpkin puree (making sure to check label lists pumpkin as the only ingredient) in my pantry. Pumpkin gives a nutritious start to the day […]

Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Bites

It’s a great option for making ahead for busy mornings: a) on the weekend to enjoy a couple and freeze the rest b) make the night before. It’s also a great example of creativity: Use 1 cup of whole-wheat flour and 1 cup oats instead of 2 cups oats Substitute another fruit for the strawberries. […]
