All fish and seafood is not created equally. For health and/or environmental reasons, consumption of some species should be limited and other species should be be avoided altogether. The Environmental Defense Fund has a website that helps when selecting which types of seafood to eat. You can print out the seafood pocket guide and take it with you when you buy seafood at the grocery store or local fish market.
This salad is light, refreshing and easy to make. It’s also great the next day so you can make it in advance.
This sandwich is easy to make and it’s a great way to use leftover pizza ingredients. I love the fact that my family devours tomatoes (in the sauce) and spinach (in the homemade chicken sausage) without thinking twice.
This is a great sausage for pizzas and pasta. By finely chopping the spinach and cooking it in the sausage, my son (along with the rest of us) consumes healthy leafy greens without even noticing!
Light coconut milk is a great ingredient for disguising seafood and veggies.
Lentils are high in protein, fiber and folate and are one of the best vegetable sources of iron. In a nutshell, the more lentils you consume, the better. This soup freezes well so you can make a large batch and save some for later.
My sister-in-law and her girls taught me how to make this healthy and kid-friendly snack. The rolls are easy to make and they’re a great way to disguise asparagus. And your kids can help you make the rolls.
Kids generally like sauces made with coconut milk so it is a great ingredient for disguising healthy fish and vegetables that aren’t typically kids’ favorites. Plus, new studies indicate that coconut milk itself is an extremely healthy ingredient. I love how simple the ingredient list is and how quickly this dish comes together.
In our quest to re-create the burrito mojado from Café Río, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, we made these chicken burritos. Burrito mojado is Spanish for “wet burrito” which translates into a burrito drenched in enchilada sauce and melted cheese.
Carne asada literally means “roasted meat” in Spanish and is typically a flank steak or skirt steak that is thinly cut and roasted or grilled. These carne asada tacos were the closest that we have come to replicating the tacos from one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. The corn tortillas were tender and pliable and the steak was tender and juicy.
