... have broader palates than a lot of adults. After having my lunch earlier (raw broccoli and cauliflower, roasted red pepper hummus, and grapefruit), I was still a little hungry, so I had a banana, a tablespoon of organic peanut butter, and a bowl of chia seeds. I would dip the tines of my fork in the peanut butter, take a slice of banana, and stick it in the bowl of chia seeds until it was coated. SO good.
David saw me doing this and wanted to do it himself. He finished off one serving of chia seeds with one banana and he said he wanted to do that everyday. Hooray!
Last night's dinner was a cross between minestrone and chili-- three types of beans, fire roasted tomatoes, carrots, spinach, shallot, LOTS of fresh garlic, and mushrooms. I flavored it with oregano, cumin, a little salt... and that's all it needed. VERY filling, tasted great, and meat is not even missed! :) Both kids loved it. I am SO glad that we have veggie-loving kids. Makes our lives a lot easier!
I didn't get around to the chia crackers yesterday because I need one more seed to make them, and I am not grocery shopping until tomorrow. So, tomorrow, I will add pictures of both the sweet and savory chia seed energy crackers :) Baking bread tomorrow, too!
One last thing-- going to make tofu sloppy joes sometime this week. Whoever says that vegans are boring are sadly misinformed. :)
Sounds yummy!You would love the Quinoa Cakes I made tonight. I dipped them in Roasted red pepper mayo. You could substitute veganaise. Are the chia crackers gluten-free? I've been looking for cracker recipes since the gluten-free ones I have tried are sadly lacking.
