blender sweet pea pancakes
No CommentsRead moreI’m not one to celebrate holidays with kitschy decorations and such but I thought you all would appreciate a special post for St. Patrick’s Day. These green pancakes are a fun way to sneak vegetables into your kid’s breakfast (and yours). They’re mostly made of peas which are probably overlooked for their nutritional value. Did you know one cup has 15% of your daily value of protein? They are also a very good source of fiber, vitamin K, manganese, vitamin B1, vitamin C, copper, phosphorus and folate among others! Recent studies also show their unique phytonutrient content helps protect against stomach cancer.

a simple thai zucchini soup
No CommentsRead moreThere comes a time every September when I find myself in a food rut. Summer produce is still going strong but nights are cool and I crave change. Although autumn produce is starting to show up at the farmer’s market and in my garden, I’m not quite ready to let go of summer. Somehow I make the transition with warm summer soups and cold autumn smoothies. This thai spiced zucchini soup is perfect for cool summer nights. I like to spoon it over quinoa (a complete protein) to make it a filling meal. Making a large batch of quinoa in the beginning of the week allows for a quick add on to weeknight meals.
