How to easily soak chia seeds…

Chia seeds need to be soaked in water before consuming . If consumed without soaking, it can lead to choking or digestive issues- when the non-soaked chia seeds come into contact with water, it can cause the chia seeds to expand and cause issues.
Here is the simple process on how to soak chia seeds.

⭐️ 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.

Easy to make sheet pan pancake using cottage cheese and topped with sautéed apples

This pancake batter comes together quickly and contains cottage cheese for some extra nutrients (but you won’t be able to tell that it’s in there). Add desired toppings and transfer it to the oven to bake.

Ingredients:
▪️1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
▪️1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
▪️2 teaspoons baking powder
▪️1/2 teaspoon baking soda
▪️3 tablespoons coconut sugar or cane sugar, add more or less depending on your preference or may leave it out.
▪️3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
▪️1 large egg
▪️1/2 cup cottage cheese
▪️2 teaspoons vanilla extract
▪️1 1/4 cup whole milk

Add Desired Toppings (examples):
🫐Blueberries
🍎Sautéed Apples
🍫Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
🥥 Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Method:
Preheat oven to 425F
Butter a quarter-sized sheet pan with butter, place parchment paper and butter parchment paper as well. Set it aside.

To a large bowl, add the all purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and coconut sugar. Mix with fork in whisking motion to combine. Set it aside.
To a separate bowl, melt the butter. Add the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the cottage cheese and mix to combine. Finally, add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix.

Let’s pack lunch for my kids

My kids love to eat waffles, and I like making them from scratch. But, sometimes, I don’t always have the time to make homemade waffles. As a result, I’m always on the hunt for store-bought “better-for-you” waffles with clean ingredients (preferably without the seed oils). Yesterday, I found these waffles from Sprouts. They’re made with clean ingredients, and we were so happy to try them out today.

Here’s what’s in their lunchboxes:
🧇 Zucchini Carrot Cake @eatevergreen Waffles, made with whole wheat flour. In the morning, I heated them in the oven and allowed them to cool a bit. I then wrapped them in wax paper and aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out too much.
🧀 Organic Valley string cheese
🍓 Strawberries with blackberries
🥕 Carrots and red bell peppers
🥛 Whole Milk

Hope you have a great day!

Spinach Egg Quesadillas- one of our favorite ways to eat quesadillas 💚

When my oldest was a toddler, I would make quesadillas for lunch sometimes since it was so quick and easy to make. I would add scrambled eggs and finely diced spinach for some extra nutrients. Additionally, here I used almond flour tortillas for some extra nutrients, but any tortilla will do.
Great to serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa or with your favorite side.

Quesadillas
Ingredients (makes 2 whole quesadillas)
💚4 - (8 inch) choice of tortillas, I used Siete Almond Flour tortillas
💚some ghee, butter, or oil to coat the pan
💚3 beaten eggs
💚Some spinach, finely diced
💚Some cilantro, finely diced
💚Shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese

▫️Add a small amount of ghee or butter to the pan and swirl to lightly coat it.
▫️Add the beaten eggs and scramble/cook till the eggs have cooked through
▫️Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set them aside
▫️to the pan, place 1 tortilla (over medium-low heat)
▫️Spread shredded cheese of choice making sure to cover the entire tortilla.
▫️Add some of the scrambled egg and sprinkle some of the diced spinach and cilantro.
▫️top it with some more shredded cheese making sure to evenly cover the surface (this will help hold it altogether)
▫️Finish it with another tortilla
▫️Let the bottom tortilla get golden brown then carefully flip it over so the other tortilla gets golden brown and the cheese melts
Repeat the process to make additional quesadillas

Nutritious and easy to make kid’s snack: Nutritious Walnut Energy balls

Each week my son has a “Life Skills” assignment from school. Last week he had to share a recipe from the internet or from a cookbook. He decided to share this recipe because it’s easy to make and delicious! By the way, as my girls saw this recipe on the table, they all requested we make-it’s a family favorite!

▪️1 cup walnuts
▪️1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, I used sprouted pumpkin seeds
▪️1/2 cup almonds
▪️5 medjool dates, pits removed
▪️1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
▪️1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Remove the pits from the dates and transfer the dates to a glass heat-safe bowl. Add hot water to cover the dates and allow them to sit for 5 minutes to soften

In the meantime, add the walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and almonds to a food processor and blend until the ingredients are broken down (about 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrap down the sides when needed).
Carefully add the softened dates (without the liquid) , being careful of the hot water. Also add the ground cinnamon and ground flaxseed.
Pulse until the mixture starts to come together and sticks together when pressed between your fingers.
Carefully remove the blade.
Use a tablespoon measure to transfer the mixture to your hand. Give the mixture a few squeezes in the palm of your hand to help the mixture stick together. Use both hands to form the mixture into a ball.
Enjoy immediately or keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tasty snack for kids, “Carrot Fries” with Homemade Ranch Dressing

Ranch is my favorite dressing. I’ve been making this recipe for many years, and it has become a family favorite. Pair it with some “carrot fries” for a tasty snack or as a side.

For younger kids, may shred carrot first before mixing it with the dressing.

Ingredients:
▪️1/2 cup mayonnaise
▪️1/2 cup sour cream
▪️1 garlic, finely grated using a zester (a medium or small sized garlic clove)
▪️1/4 cup cilantro, finely diced
▪️1 tablespoon of dill fronds, finely diced
▪️Small pinch of salt (about 1/8-1/4 of a teaspoon), to taste
▪️2 tablespoons of milk, or more-to thin it out to the consistency you like

Method:
Add the mayonnaise and the sour cream to a bowl and mix with a fork to combine. Also add the grated garlic, salt, finely diced cilantro and dill. Mix with a fork. Finally, add the milk. Stir the milk into the mix - I like to mix it in with a fork, in a whisking motion.
Add a bit more milk if you’d like a thinner consistency.

Note: grating the garlic does bring out the potent garlic flavor. We like garlic at our house so I tend to use a medium sized garlic clove for this recipe . Please feel free to use a small sized garlic clove or to add a small amount of grated garlic, if desired.

Cover and allow to sit in refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour for flavors to develop.

Can keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This is one of those recipes that tastes better the following day.

Mini Broccoli Cheddar Quiches, great for kids and families to enjoy

This is one of my favorite recipes!
Quiches are a delicious way to enjoy some veggies or to use up any veggies you might have.
These mini quiches are easy to make and the perfect size for kids. It’s also great to pack in a lunchbox or for an on-the-go meal or snack.

Ingredients:
▪️1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought
▪️2 large eggs
▪️1/4 cup milk
▪️1/2 cup small diced broccoli
▪️1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
▪️1/4 cup shredded carrot
▪️1/4 teaspoon salt, optional

Method:
Preheat the oven to 375F
Grease muffin pan with softened butter for easy removal. Set aside
Add the eggs to a bowl. Beat the eggs and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix to combine.
Roll the pie crust out so it’s not too thick.
Use a 3 inch cookie cutter to cut out rounds. Place the rounds in the muffin pan making sure to push it down against the surfaces to get rid of any air bubbles/pockets.
Continue this until each section of the muffin pan has a pie crust. Might need to gather dough and re-roll it out again to make more.
Prick holes on the crust with a fork and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and prick with fork to remove air bubbles. (Crust might shrink a bit while baking).

Use a tablespoon measure to scoop some of the egg mixture into the cups making sure to not over fill them. Make sure the egg mixture sits in the cups and doesn’t spill over. If it spills over the crust will stick to the pan.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown and egg has cooked and set in the center.

Rainbow Yogurt Granola Bowl

My kids love fun-themed foods like this one here. To help keep it nutritious, I like to use plain whole milk plain yogurt which tends to not have the added sugars. If you’ve noticed, the flavored yogurts have added sugars.

Instead of buying flavored yogurt, here is what I like to do instead to help add flavor to our plain yogurt:
▪️Add good quality honey (no honey for children under the age of 1) or pure maple syrup to the yogurt and mix it in
▪️add blueberry chia jam, fruit compote, or favorite jam/spread
▪️add sautéed apples, fresh fruit, better-for-you cereals (like the ones by Seven Sundays) or better-for-you granolas (like the ones by Seven Sundays and Purely Elizabeth). Additionally, sometimes I like to use my homemade granola recipe.
 These are some ways to help enhance the flavors of plain yogurt. You can read more about this on my site.

Here’s how I made this fun yogurt:

▪️Plain (unsweetened) whole milk yogurt, I used Greek yogurt
▪️choice of granola or nutritious cereal like Seven Sundays
▪️Rainbow fruits which consists of strawberries, mandarin, pineapple, kiwi, and blueberries.

Please cut or shred food appropriately to prevent choking hazards.

1. Prepare your desired ingredients by dicing them into desired pieces/sizes. Please keep in mind to cut food appropriately to prevent any choking hazards.
2. Add desired yogurt to a bowl and smooth out the top. At this point, may mix in some good quality honey (no honey for children under the age of 1) or pure maple syrup to the yogurt, that’s if you’d like to add some sweetness. Here, I used plain whole milk greek yogurt.
3. Top the yogurt with desired granola or cereal.
4. Add desired fruit to help resemble a rainbow. Here, I used diced strawberries, diced mandarins, diced pineapples, diced kiwi and halved blueberries (or quartered for younger children). Note: fix or align the food, when needed.
5. Enjoy!

Please cut or shred food appropriately to prevent choking hazards. 1. Prepare your desired ingredients by dicing them into desired pieces/sizes. Please keep in mind to cut food appropriately to prevent any choking hazards. 2. Add desired yogurt to a bowl and smooth out the top. At this point, may mix in some good quality honey (no honey for children under the age of 1) or pure maple syrup to the yogurt, that’s if you’d like to add some sweetness. Here, I used plain whole milk greek yogurt. 3. Top the yogurt with desired granola or cereal. 4. Add desired fruit to help resemble a rainbow. Here, I used diced strawberries, diced mandarins, diced pineapples, diced kiwi and halved blueberries (or quartered for younger children). Note: fix or align the food, when needed. 5.

Easy to make pie crust recipe

I’m sharing my go-to and favorite pie crust recipe. It’s made in a food processor and is easy to make. The key to making pie crust is you want to make sure your ingredients are cold and the dough is cold to the touch before baking.

A more detailed video and recipe is available on the site.

▪️1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, I used organic unbleached all-purpose flour
▪️1/2 teaspoon salt
▪️1 teaspoon coconut sugar or organic cane sugar
▪️1 teaspoon vinegar , I used apple cider vinegar
▪️8 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 cup), cut into small pieces- can use salted or unsalted butter
▪️4 tablespoons cold water

Notes section:
For the sugar, may add less or leave it out

To a food processor, add the flour, salt and coconut sugar. Pulse a few times until the ingredients have been mixed.
Add the cold and cubed butter. Pulse a few times (about 15-20 pulses) until the butter looks like small pea-sized balls
Add vinegar to food processor and add 4 tablespoons of cold water (without the ice). Pulse until the dough comes together. Carefully remove the blade and then the dough. Bring the dough together, form it into a round, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
If the dough is difficult to roll, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 -10 minutes before rolling it out. This will help make it easier to roll.

Mushroom Spinach Pasta, with veggies!

This pasta recipe is one of our favorites. My kids don’t like mushrooms, as a result I like to small dice them and add them to this pasta dish- my kids enjoy this recipe! It makes for a great meal.

Ingredients:
▪️3 tablespoons avocado oil
▪️8 ounces cremini mushrooms, diced into small pieces
▪️1 cup small diced onion
▪️1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
▪️1/2 cup small diced broccoli
▪️1 tablespoon minced garlic
▪️1 pound pasta, I used fettuccine pasta
▪️1/2 cup basil, diced
▪️1 cup low sodium chicken broth
▪️2 cups heavy cream
▪️2 cups whole milk
▪️1 1/2- 2 teaspoons salt, (I added 2 teaspoons salt) see note below
▪️1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
▪️1 cup spinach, finely diced
▪️1/2 cup parsley, finely diced
▪️1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, using a brick of Parmesan cheese and grating it yourself results into a tastier sauce.

Cook pasta according to package’s instructions or to your liking. Drain the water and return the pasta to the pot.
Note: if the pasta is ready before the sauce, I like to add a little bit of oil, mix to coat and cover it with the lid. Set it aside.

Add oil to large skillet and allow to get hot over medium heat.
Sauté small diced onions, small diced broccoli, finely diced mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon 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 flour, whisk and cook for about 1 minute.
Add heavy cream,milk and chicken broth (while whisking). Bring it up to a simmer, while stirring constantly.
Lower the heat to where there’s still a low simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, while continuing to stir a few times.
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and ground black pepper. Stir to help incorporate the salt into the sauce.
Note: the salt can be adjusted. Parmesan cheese alone has some saltiness to it. Therefore add 1 teaspoon of salt now then add more (to taste) once the Parmesan cheese has been added and incorporated into the sauce).

Grated Egg Avocado Toast.

My kids stopped eating hard-boiled eggs when they were around 1.5-2 years old. I think it was more of a texture thing-they didn’t seem to like the texture of the egg.

However, I’ve realized grating the egg has helped with the overall texture of the egg. It has helped minimize what that overall texture feels like when they take a bite from it.

At the same time, I offer whole hard-boiled eggs at times to help provide exposure. Currently, a couple of my kids eat the whole egg while the other two only eat the white part of the egg.

Here’s how I prepared this meal:
🍞 Toast your bread of choice
🥑 I then spread my avocado spread over the toast (which consists of mashed avocado, salt, freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, finely diced cilantro, finely diced spinach and/or micro-greens)
🥚 use the fine side of a grater or a zester to grate the hard-boiled egg over the toast.
▪️Slice into desired pieces and serve.

It makes for a tasty and nutritious combination!

Let’s make dinner

My kids love to eat these Kotlets and as a result, it’s one of those fuss-free meals for us. Here I served the Kotlet with my One-Pot Butter Pasta which I like to cook in bone broth for some extra nutrients (I also used whole wheat pasta here but regular pasta works too). Additionally, I paired it with a salad. I added a small amount of salad to my kids’ plates for exposure purposes and…all 4 tried the salad (3 out of the 4 actually finished it- exposure is key).
One more thing, I knew my kids would prefer the salad deconstructed. As a result, I mainly served it that way; cabbage wedge and carrots served with a side of ranch dressing- they loved that!
Having 4 kids, I’ve learned that every child is different. What works with one child, might not work with the other. Their preferences for food are very different too. I share our meals for inspirational purposes. Please adjust or serve the food according to your child’s or family’s preferences.

The Meal:
▪️Homemade ranch dressing with cabbage, carrots, micro-greens, and red arugula
▪️One-Pot Butter Pasta, cooked in bone broth. I used whole wheat pasta
▪️Beef Kotlets

Lunchboxes for my kids

Here’s a fun lunchbox my kids enjoy every time I pack it for them: “build-your-own-pizzas” similar to that of the “lunchables pizzas.”

Here’s what I packed in their lunchboxes:
🧀 Shredded mozzarella cheese
🍕 Pizza sauce
🍕 Applegate’s Organic oven-roasted turkey breasts and Applegate’s Turkey Uncured Pepperoni (both without nitrates or nitrites).
🍞 Naan bread. I heated it in the oven before packing them away. I like to wrap my breads in unbleached wax paper followed by aluminum foil. This helps prevent them from drying out- I’ve also noticed my kids are more likely to eat it when it’s packed this way.
🍎 Bear Fruit Rolls- Apple, Pear, strawberry. Minimal ingredients and no-added sugars. We love these.
🥛 Milk

Have a great day!
