Whole Wheat Noodle Stir Fry
Sometimes when I open my fridge and pull out leftovers, magic happens. I love it when I throw some stuff together and it creates something delicious. That is how this whole wheat noodle and vegetable stir fry happened. I made whole wheat spaghetti the night before, and made too many noodles so in the fridge they went. I also had mushrooms and broccoli going bad, so those had to go. With some carrot, green onion, walnuts, and sesame oil, this yummy whole wheat noodle stir fry came together perfectly! I like to cook the vegetables until done by still crisp so the stir fry is more on the crunchy side.…

Sautéd Kale with Garlic
Kale sautéd in a skillet with a bit of olive oil and some minced garlic is one of my favorite sides. Why? It is really quick and easy to prepare, it is flavorful, and my toddler loves it because in the end some of the kale turns into crunchy “kale chips.” Some people don’t like kale because of its bitter taste. Although I have not tried the massage method to take away some of the bitterness, with this recipe it does not need it. The garlic flavor is very powerful, and if you love garlic you will love this kale recipe! Kale is known as a super green, because it…

Homemade Organic Raspberry Jam
I have always been intimidated to make my own jam at home. What if it turned out awful? What if it got moldy from doing it myself at home? How long does it last? I had so many questions. Recently, we bought a Thermomix® TM6, and it has a super delicious recipe in the Cookidoo® database for making raspberry jam from scratch. I was surprised how easy it was to do. I even learned how to sterilize the glass jars to put my homemade jam inside. Homemade jam can last one or even up to two years, and once opened in the refrigerator up to 3 months. With times being…

Southwest Quinoa Boats
Romaine lettuce adds a refreshing taste to these lime-flavored quinoa boats. Did you know that quinoa is not considered a grain, but a seed? It is a very healthy food, since it is high in protein, fiber and vitamins. I like to eat it more often than rice these days. The most popular colors are white, red and black. White is the least crunchy and softer than the other colors, and it also cooks faster (in about 12 minutes). In this southwest quinoa recipe, a mix of red quinoa is tossed with chopped avocado, black beans, corn, cilantro and lime. One tip to making soft, fluffy quinoa is to cook…

Strawberry Banana Almond Butter Bowl
Strawberries, bananas and chocolate are one of my all-time favorite combinations. Add some cashews, almond butter and honey to the mix and this is one of the best breakfast bowls ever! The cacao nibs are not sweet, but offer healthy antioxidants and a rich cocoa taste to the bowl, along with a nice crunch. The strawberries, banana and honey sweeten up this healthy breakfast bowl, and the almond butter and cashews add protein. You can top plain yogurt, rolled oats, or your favorite muesli with the toppings to make this breakfast bowl complete. Once my spoon digs in, it does not stay this neat. I actually like to stir it…
