Crispy Smashed Dill PotatoesThe perfect side dish that's so simple to make, yet produces such mouth-watering flavor. Roasted potatoes, caramelized onions, and aromatic dill come together to create a dish that's loaded with fiber, B-vitamins, iron, and potassium.Vegan Rainbow RollsVegan rainbow rolls are a great way to pack a bunch of veggies into one meal. They're paired with aromatic herbs, protein rich chickpeas, and a creamy sweet peanut butter dipping sauce. This recipe is great for meal prepping because all the chopping of veggies + fruit can be done beforehand!Citrus Herb Quinoa SaladQuinoa is one of our favorite grains to meal prep because it's a great source of plant protein, is gluten free, high in fiber, and contains loads of vitamins. It's also super easy to meal prep + freeze! This meal combines healthy fats from creamy avocado, the aromatic fresh flavors of dill, salty feta, cool + crisp cucumbers, and sweet tomatoes in this wow-factor salad.PB&J MuffinsPeanut Butter and Jelly Muffins 🥜. Fun fact: although my kids are obsessed with peanut butter, they HATE jelly. A great mom hack to get around that is to mash up raspberries in its place, and the combo is just as delicious! These muffins can be made with or without egg to accommodate our vegan friends (the middle may sink a bit but still as delicious!), and are dairy free + gluten free as well. To our friends with nut allergies, sunflower seed butter can also be used (just be aware that when sunflower seed butter is baked, it may turn green when it reacts with the baking soda!)
Watermelon Salad with FetaThe bold flavors of sweet watermelon, refreshing mint, and tangy lime pair so well together for a light summery meal. Easy to meal prep, all it takes is some washing and cutting of fruits, spinach, and cheese to prepare this fun main or side dish. It's one of our favorite picnic meals!Cheddar Broccoli Quinoa MuffinsThese kid-friendly vegetarian quinoa bites can be made three ways: baking in a muffin tin, frying into patties, or using an ebelskiver pan to make round balls (view all options in the photo gallery at the bottom of the recipe page). Either way, the end result is a delicious, protein-, veggie-, and calcium-packed meal that will have the kids coming back for more!Chickpea Tikka MasalaThis slow cooker Indian creamy cauliflower rice and chickpea stew is great for families who are feeding vegetarian/vegans and meat eaters at the same meal. We usually cook the stew first (either in the crockpot or on the stove) and grill chicken in a separate pan, which can then be incorporated into the stew for those who prefer the meat addition.Air Fryer Kale ChipsThese kale chips are a nutritious alternative to potato chips that my kids love eating AND making with me. It's a great snacktivity for kids to help with: they can tear the kale pieces up, give the kale a "bath", and then use the salad spinner to dry them off. Involving children in the food-making process sparks interest and encourages them to try new foods . Plus, they're SO DELICIOUS and take no time at all... THREE MINUTES TOTAL IN THE AIR FRYER!!Veggie Quinoa BowlsThese Buddha bowls are perfect for families who need separate vegetarian & meat options in the same meal. For this bowl, we just add grilled chicken on top to satisfy the meat-eaters of the family.Pesto Caprese Pasta SaladThis summery pasta salad is full of fresh flavors thanks to the homemade pesto sauce made with simple, clean ingredients (and nut-free!). Can easily be made vegan by substituting the mozzarella pearls with vegan shreds.Watermelon Mint Lime SlushiesAll you need are four simple ingredients to make this cool, refreshing summer drink. Citrusy, tangy, and sweet!Lunchbox Inspiration- “Cheddar Broccoli Quinoa Tots”
