Vegetable Sesame NoodlesNow that summer is in full swing, we're all about BBQs and picnics. This veggie packed sesame noodle pasta salad is always such a hit whether I'm entertaining or bringing it over to a potluck. I find most sesame noodle marinades use peanut butter or soy sauce, but this one uses coco aminos instead so the dressing doesn't overpower the entire dish!

Southwest Bean + Corn Pasta SaladAs a vegetarian mama, beans are often my go-to for a rich protein source. I find that they pair well with corn and come together for a full meal when combined into an avocado pasta salad with a cilantro-lime vinaigrette dressing. This dish works well as a main meal or side and can be meal prepped by cooking the pasta beforehand, in addition to chopping your veggies and roasting the corn. 🍱 Perfect for lunchboxes 🌱 Vegan ⏰ Great meal-prep meal

Salmon Veggie PattiesDo your kids eat fish? While Sawyer loves salmon, lately Liv has been hesitant to eat fish unless it’s made into a breaded patty (I find finger foods are always a hit with my kids). I also add caramelized onions and sweet red bell pepper for extra vitamins, potassium, and fiber! 💡 The great thing about this recipe is that we usually use leftover cooked salmon from earlier in the week. I love repurposing leftovers so no one gets bored eating the same foods throughout the week.

Black Bean Quinoa BurgersBlack beans are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and potassium. For a vegetarian mama like myself, beans and quinoa make up a large source of my daily protein. I love adding quinoa to meals because it's a superfood rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Complete with hidden spinach and bell peppers, this vegetarian burger is a great meal option for little kids and adults alike!
