An easy plant-based meal that’s vegan and nut free!! I love using cauliflower as the base to my meals because once grilled, it becomes caramelized, juicy, and wonderfully sweet. Paired with our homemade nut-free pesto sauce and served atop a bed of protein-rich quinoa, this meal is satisfying and naturally high in fiber and B-vitamins!

(Hidden Carrot) Chicken Strips
Looking for a way to hide veggies in your kids’ meals? We’ve got you covered with these (Hidden Carrot) Chicken Strips! The great thing about hiding carrots is that the orange color blends right into the breadcrumb mixture. The carrots add a wonderful sweetness to the chicken that you can even supplement with a honey drizzle (or if your kids are honey addicts like mine, they can even use the honey as a dipping sauce rather than ketchup!)
Roasted Spaghetti Squash Chickpea Bolognese
Spaghetti squash is a such a great nutrient-dense vegetable that’s low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. It’s a wonderful substitute for regular spaghetti and is extremely kid-friendly (and they don’t even know how good it is for them!!). Paired with either our vegan chickpea Bolognese sauce, or my husband’s turkey or chicken Bolognese sauce (also linked in the recipe), it makes a complete and nutritious meal with plenty of leftovers for the week.
