Here are a couple of ways to add seeds to your lit Here are a couple of ways to add seeds to your little one’s lunch … Slice cucumbers and top with vegan cream cheese (I like Kite Hill) and hemp seeds. Also sprinkle chia seeds into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
.
Both hemp and chia are complete proteins containing all essential amino acids. They have omega 3s, iron and fiber.
.
This is the lunch I packed for my 3 year old today. PB&J on sprouted grain bread with no sugar added all fruit jam, peanut & almond butters and chia seeds, cucumber slices as mentioned above, blueberries, and freeze dried snap peas.

Grilling season is here! It was 80 degrees in Conn Grilling season is here! It was 80 degrees in Connecticut today so we thought it’d be a good idea to see how the @actualveggies veggie burgers do on the grill. Perfecto. 👌🏼
.
Loved their green burger with kale, broccoli, navy bean, etc.
.
We also grilled some corn and it was so delicious. Plus we did some zucchini, squash and peppers. So good.
.
Tonight I topped my burger with lettuce, tomato and aioli. Had to skip the avocado because I’m taking a @dutchtest in a couple of days… it’s a hormonal test from the naturopath I started seeing this week. Looking forward to improving my overall health with her help. One of my goals is to get off the thyroid medication I have to take every morning (which traditional doctors usually say you have no choice but to take for the rest of your life) and she said she’s helped people do just that. So fingers crossed. 🤞🏻

Im trying not to cook much but know I’ll have to prepare some food. So I today I’m testing out these baby falafel patties by @mummytodex … they’re quick and easy to make and require no special equipment. Hopefully baby Sadie likes them. 🤞🏻

It’s hard to come by packaged vegan foods withou It’s hard to come by packaged vegan foods without ingredients I don’t like - cane sugar, canola oil, or just other weird additives - but these veggie burgers from @actualveggies are made with all the ingredients I love … REAL veggies, beans, grains and spices.
.
I’ve found it really hard to prepare and cook as much healthy food now that I have a baby and toddler so these burgers make my life so much easier. I don’t feel guilty not cooking a big meal. And bonus for the summer - it’s actually recommended that you cook them on the grill.
.
They’ve got four different kinds of burgers all color coded by their ingredients - orange, green, purple and black.
.
I paired the purple burger (beets, carrots, oats, navy beans, etc) with a lemon garlic aioli, shredded romaine and avocados and a side of herb roasted carrots and tomatoes. My gosh, it was good.
.
Big thanks to actual veggies for sending me the burgers to try! Two thumbs up from me.

I’m still working on getting my toddler to eat them. She prefers just the roll 🤣 but my husband and I enjoyed them and my 10 month old took one bite so that’s a win.
.
I served them on Friday with a side of homemade sweet potato oven fries and today I’m having the leftovers with a quick and easy green bean salad.
.
I made the salad by opening up a can of green beans and a can of kidney beans and tossing them with @motherraw’s Greek dressing.

Did you know you can make pizza crust with red len Did you know you can make pizza crust with red lentils? It’s so ridiculously easy. You soak the lentils for a few hours then rinse them and blend in a high powered blender with some water and garlic. Pour it into a cast iron pan and bake. Crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.
.
I’m always hunting for new plant based meals for my 10 month old and toddler and this pizza is a win. The crust and vegan Parmesan are from the Plant Based Juniors cookbook.
.
I made the sauce in my vitamix as well. Diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder and a couple of medjool dates for sweetness. I’m a big sauce girl - definitely needs to be made right - and I could drink this stuff it’s so good.
.
The vegan parm is made with cashews, nutritional yeast, flaxseed (subbed for the hemp seeds because I was out of them) and garlic powder.
