Did you catch #RealFoodRecipes RoundUp last week? One of my favorites was this kid friendly Broccoli and Cheese Bites from O’Boy Organic. I’m always looking for new foods to feed my picky eaters – these look great!

Can’t wait to try these Paleo Morning Glory Muffins (Grain Free/ Gluten Free/ Dairy Free/ Vegan/ Refined Sugar Free/ Egg Free) from Sandi’s Allergy Free Recipes. I’ve been looking all over for a new breakfast food to give the girls that is gluten-free and sugar-free. Fingers crossed this will work.

Be sure to check out JoLynne’s weekly meal plan for more ideas to keep you on track.  Here’s what’s cookin’ at my house this week….

It’s all about the veggies and how I’ve noticed we really haven’t been eating as much as we should. This week I’m aiming to prepare mostly vegan dinners and reducing our intake of animal protein. As much as I’d love to think we are meeting the recommended daily servings of vegetables, sadly I think this is not the case. We are a family of carnivores. When I think of eating or preparing any meal of the day it always begins with protein. I crave meat – any kind of it. Unfortunately I do not crave veggies and that needs to change. So here goes my week of vegan inspiration!
