Foodie Friday
Posted On May 16, 2014
Welcome to Foodie Friday, where I share some of my favorite recipes, shopping and cooking tips and gadgets from this week.
First up, is a little food art – it’s something I’ve been playing around with for this past year in an effort to get my children to eat a broader variety of healthy food. I try to make each plate a complete meal, usually out of the same ingredients that I use to make dinner for my husband and myself.
“The Caterpillar”
- Chicken sausage caterpillar with sliced up yellow peppers (the eyes are two pieces of brown rice)
- Pureed broccoli “grass” with salt & parmesan cheese
- Steamed cauliflower “clouds”
- Yellow pepper sun
Must Try Recipes
-
Roasted Curried Cauliflower : only four ingredients is amazingly delicious (via SummerTomato)
- Roast salmon with whole grain mustard: We added herbs de provence to the mix for a little more flavor (via Food and Wine)
- Broccoli Mash: To play around with textures and taste, especially for the little picky eaters, this recipe makes for a great side dish and easy way to sneak the veggies into rice or pasta. (via LowCarbKitty)
Tools
- Salad dressing bottle that makes it easy to make and store your own homemade salad dressing – a skill I am seriously lacking in. (Amazon, thanks to 100daysofrealfood for the tip)
- Immersion blender: I use my handheld blender twice a day. It’s easy to use and clean and ideal for smoothies, mashes and purees
