You can add a bit of sweetener if you’d like, but I enjoy mine as is. My three year old loves this “monster green smoothie”, but doesn’t like the texture of the Chia seeds. If I’m making one smoothie for him, I’ll just add the chia at

These dairy free breakfast burritos are so flavorful and filling, you’ll never miss the cheese! You can serve them hot right from the stove, or roll them up and freeze for a quick weekday breakfast. If burritos are too hard to hold for little hands in your family, you can also make these into quesadillas for the kids. You may need to adjust the cooking time on quesadillas, so just keep an eye on them. For a glu

We had yet another cool, rainy day here in New England, and that brought me back to cravings for comfort food. My toddler is going through a bit of a picky eating phase, and will only accept meat in chicken nugget or meatloaf form.

This is a fresh, flavorful pasta dish perfect for Spring (despite the fact that here in MA we just got another foot of snow today). The pesto is dairy and nut free, and helps you sneak your little ones a bit of spinach without them catching on. If you’re new to nutritional yeast, it’s worth giving a try.
