Ezekiel bread.
Brown rice tortillas from the frozen food department..... they're good in egg/turkey bacon breakfast burritos, and I love their chewy texture. Can't wait to try them with honey and butter as a treat.
Stevia for sweetening, the kids don't mind it either.
We're trying quinoa pasta this evening. ::crossing fingers::
Blending my own oat flour while phasing out gluten products.
Almond butter.
I like almond and coconut milk, but the kids are bucking them. Will try blending fat free milk with those two and see.
Lettuce wraps with ground turkey breast, cilantro, carrots, fresh basil leaves with fish and chili sauces. The children are grateful during this meal, so nice!
Fresh fish, always popular in this house with everyone.
Brining center cut pork chops, and enjoying them served at 140-150 degrees almost as much as if we had filet mignon. SO good.
Quinoa.... better than pasta once you figure out it has to be rinsed before cooking to get rid of bitter taste.... going to begin serving quinoa bowls, with sauteed veggies and a protein served together, and see how that goes. I'm thinking they would be good in school lunches too.
Fresh farm eggs I get weekly from a free range, organic farmer who delivers.
Fresh frozen fruit smoothies,and homeade pocicles. I haven't bought anything like that from the store in 5 years or more. I can put a handful of frozen spinach in and it's still wonderful. Sometimes a little yogurt, sometimes a bunch of peeled lemons, but always popular.
Adding kale stems to stocks.
Honoring every inch of a chicken when I buy chicken. If we roast a chicken, and I don't have time to make stock right then, I freeze it till I do. Nothing wasted feels good.
Fresh quiche the kids make for themselves..... we all get our own custom little orders. Very special and fun to make.
Fresh lattice topped apple pie, esp if I'm giving it as a gift. Nothing else like it.... have to check out making crust with oat flour.
Having fresh fruit and veggies in the house, and knowing I don't have to shove them down the kid's throats to get them to eat up. They love lemons, raspberries, tangerines, apples, pears, avocados, salad, red bell peppers, spinach, brussel sprouts with garlic all caramelized, and......
I really like where we are with food right now: )
I like where we're headed.
