Pasta with a Mushroom Veggie Meat Sauce. My kids were surprised when I told them this meal had mushrooms in it.

Ingredients:
▪️1 pound of pasta, I used whole wheat elbow pasta
▪️3 tablespoons oil
▪️1 onion, small diced
▪️1 cup of baby cremini mushrooms ( about 7-8 mushrooms) or baby Bella mushrooms ,finely diced
▪️2 tablespoons minced garlic
▪️1 pound of ground beef, I used grass-fed
▪️24 ounces jarred marinara sauce
▪️1 cup shredded zucchini, moisture wrung out
▪️1 cup heavy cream
▪️1 and 1/4 teaspoons of salt, add more or less depending on your preference
▪️1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
▪️1 cup spinach or 1 large kale, finely diced
▪️1/2 cup cilantro or parsley, finely diced
▪️1/2 cup basil, chopped

Method:
Cook pasta according to its directions or to your liking. Drain the water and set it aside.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and allow it to get hot. Add the diced onion, finely diced mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Sauté until the mushrooms have given off its liquid and the liquid has evaporated from the bottom of the skillet (for about 6-8 minutes)-while mixing a few times.
Add garlic and sauté for 30 second.
Add the ground beef and cook it while breaking it apart into small pieces . Cook the beef until it is completely cooked through.
Add the marinara sauce and mix to combine. Add the heavy cream, 3/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and shredded zucchini. Mix to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes.

Three Ways to Serve the Almond Peanut Butter Cookies:

1. Serve the cookies as is or with your favorite side (i.e. fruits, jam, spread, veggies, etc.)
2. Serve the cookies in sandwich form. They taste great with peanut butter as a filling or with your favorite jam/spread. Served here as a peanut butter cookie sandwich.
Spread peanut butter to the bottom center of the cookie and top it with a second cookie.
3. Serve the cookies dipped in some chocolate peanut butter sauce- tastes so good! See below for the recipe.

How to Make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sauce:

Add 3 tablespoons of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil to a glass heat-safe microwavable bowl. Mix
Microwave for 20 seconds, remove and mix with a spoon.
Then, microwave for another 20 seconds, remove and mix with the spoon until the chocolate has melted. At this point, add 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (make sure it’s measured and leveled off-it’s exactly 3 tablespoons so the mixture won’t be too thick). Stir until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Note: If the peanut butter doesn’t have salt, may add a very small pinch. This is optional, but the salt does help balance the sweetness.
Dip some of the cookie into the chocolate peanut butter mixture
Allow the excess to drip off.
Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet with the chocolate peanut butter dipped cookies in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or until the chocolate has set.
Once the chocolate has set, can transfer the cookies to an airtight glass food storage container and keep them in the refrigerator until ready to use.

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

Ingredients:
▪️1 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.

Chia Pudding served with Blueberry Chia Jam

My kids enjoy eating chia pudding and I especially enjoy it when paired with my homemade Blueberry Chia Jam. Here I’ve also added some fruit- it made for a tasty combination.

Ingredients:
▪️1 cup unsweetened oat milk, I used Three Trees Oatmilk with Seeds
▪️3 tablespoons maple syrup (may add more or less depending on your preference.
▪️1/4 cup Chia seeds
▪️Blueberry Chia Jam

Method:
Grab a glass container that comes with a lid, preferably a glass food storage container. The ingredients will rest overnight, therefore a container with a lid is helpful for this recipe.

Add the milk and maple syrup to the container. Mix to combine. Add the chia seeds and mix in a whisking motion to help some of it incorporate into the mixture.
Note: most of the chia seeds might be floating/visible on the surface.
Cover it with its lid and place it in the refrigerator to set overnight.
Note: If needed, may mix the mixture once more after an hour to help everything incorporate and place it back in the refrigerator.
Remove it from the refrigerator and mix before serving.

For serving:
Add the chia pudding to a bowl along with some of the blueberry chia jam. Mix to combine. Add desired toppings and serve.

Served with unsweetened shredded coconuts, strawberries, pineapples, and blackberries.

Halloween Pizza Pockets. I’ve been making these for a few years now, and my kids love them !

Here’s how I make them:
▪️prepare the pizza dough or can use store-bought
▪️prepare desired filling for the pizzas. I used pizza sauce, oven-roasted and seasoned chicken tenders, finely diced spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese.
▪️prepare the garlic butter. It helps add such great flavor! Additionally, I divided my garlic butter in half. One to brush on the uncooked pizza dough and one to brush over the pizzas once they had finished baking.
▪️roll out the pizza dough
▪️use desired cookie cutters to create a fun look
▪️transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
▪️add desired filling
▪️add a second piece of the cutout pizza dough. For the top layer, I used a pairing knife to create the ghost’s eyes and mouth along with the lines on the pumpkin.
▪️use fingers to press the edges together making sure to keep the filling in the center.
▪️brush with garlic butter.
▪️bake in a 450F oven for 10-15 minutes or until they’ve turned golden brown.
▪️brush with some more garlic butter

Halloween Pizza Pockets. I’ve been making these for a few years now, and my kids love them ! Here’s how I make them: ▪️prepare the pizza dough or can use store-bought ▪️prepare desired filling for the pizzas. I used pizza sauce, oven-roasted and seasoned chicken tenders, finely diced spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese. ▪️prepare the garlic butter. It helps add such great flavor! Additionally, I divided my garlic butter in half. One to brush on the uncooked pizza dough and one to brush over the pizzas once they had finished baking. ▪️roll out the pizza dough ▪️use desired cookie cutters to create a fun look ▪️transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper ▪️add desired filling ▪️add a second piece of the cutout pizza dough. For the top layer, I used a pairing knife to create the ghost’s eyes and mouth along with the lines on the pumpkin. ▪️use fingers to press the edges together making sure to keep the filling in the center. ▪️brush with garlic butter. ▪️bake in a 450F oven for 10-15 minutes or until they’ve turned golden brown. ▪️brush with some more garlic butter ▪️enjoy #halloween #halloweenfood #pizzapockets #homemadepizza #kidsfood #kidsfoodideas #kidsdinner #kidsmeals #healthyfood #healthykids #healthykidsfood #healthytoddler #dinnerideas #dinnerrecipes #toddlerdinner #toddlermeals #toddlermealideas #familymeals #familydinner #pizzanight #funfood #funfoodforkids #kidsrecipes #simplerecipes

How to easily soak chia seeds…

Chia seeds are very nutritious but require soaking before consuming. Here is the simple process on how to soak chia seeds. The measurements below are for soaking 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, please adjust the measurements accordingly if more is needed.

⭐️ Please Note: when preparing overnight chia pudding or other recipes that call for dry chia seeds to be soaked overnight, this additional process is not required. During that time, the dry chia seeds are soaked in liquid with other ingredients. However, when a recipe calls for dry chia seeds to be added to muffins, smoothies, or other ingredients, then the chia seeds need to be soaked before adding.

Ingredients:
▪️1 tablespoon chia seeds
▪️1/4 cup of filtered water

Method:
1️⃣To a small glass food storage container (or bowl), add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 1/4 cup of filtered water.
2️⃣Stir with a fork and allow it to sit to soak, while stirring it a few times for the first 20 minutes. Set it aside to continue soaking.
3️⃣For best results, the chia seeds should be soaked for about 1-2 hours or preferably overnight. If soaking overnight, cover the container with its lid and allow it to soak overnight in the refrigerator. When ready, the chia seeds should have a gelatinous-like texture.
4️⃣The soaked chia seeds can be used once ready or kept in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Healthy Halloween Spinach Cookie Witch Fingers; only 4-ingredients to make the cookies!

I used my Spinach Cookie recipe to make these cookies and served them with a berry jam which paired so nicely together!

Ingredients:
💚1 1/2 cups almond flour
💚1 cup packed spinach, washed and thoroughly dried
💚2 tablespoons maple syrup
💚2 tablespoons of avocado oil

Method:
▪️Preheat oven to 350F
▪️To a food processor, add the almond flour and the spinach. Pulse or blend until the spinach is cut into fine pieces. Transfer the almond flour/spinach mixture to a bowl and set it aside.
▪️To a separate small bowl, add the oil and the maple syrup to a small bowl. Whisk with fork until combined. ▪️Add the oil/maple syrup mixture to your dry ingredients. Stir with a fork or a spoon until the mixture comes together.
▪️Spoon 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and squeeze it between your hands to help the mixture stick together.
▪️Roll it into a log and then form it into a finger. Create indentations for the knuckles, a dip at the top for the nail.
▪️Transfer to a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper
▪️Place a slivered almond for the nail
▪️Bake 350F for about 12 minutes or until the bottoms have turned golden brown. It might still feel soft. As it cools, it will firm up.
▪️Let sit for 5 minutes then transfer to a wired rack to cool completely.

Carefully cut the ends off of the spaghetti squash and carefully cut it in half.

Transfer the spaghetti squash (skin side up) to a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper.
Roast in the oven for 50 minutes or until it is fork tender.
