Mindful Living For The Modern Mom
I will be sharing two vegetarian enchilada recipes that are sure to be a new loved family favorite. One is a chicken enchilada recipe where I have replaced the chicken with Jackfruit. The second recipe is more obvious. It's stuffed filled with healthy veggies and I topped mine with them too!
Cottage pie are some of my all time favorite comfort foods. There is just something so soothing about that warm, succulent dish. When we stopped eating meat I think I was most upset to lose this specific meal. These days though, you don't have to miss out on almost anything!
Calabacitas is traditionally a Mexican dish made from sautéed zucchini or squash, corn, tomatoes and peppers. It's often served as a side dish, but is substantial enough to be served as a light main dish. A little twist on this delicious veggie packed dish and it was twisted into a new Mediterranean favorite!
This Rockfish creation plays with my love of the sweet and salty combination. It's a warm and comforting dish with a sweetly bitter twang. This is a simple and easy weeknight dinner, definitely ending up on the regular rotation.
Another delicious way to incorporate eggplant into your weekly meal lineup! This simple dish is sure to impress!
I love Mediterranean influence! The flavors are decadent but they food is often healthier than our western diet. This easy weeknight eggplant meal is a family favorite!
I have had so many people tell me they have no idea what to do with an eggplant. This is no excuse! It is incredibly versatile and can be baked, roasted, grilled, fried or sautéed. Because it has such a mild flavor we have found it to be an excellent meat substitute with the right seasonings. It goes well with just about anything and can the be main focus of a meal or an impressive side dish.
Stepping out of your food comfort zone is as easy as grabbing an interesting looking item you've never tried before and figuring out what to do with it later. Pinterest has a wide variety of diverse inspiration as well! Get out there and get excited about food again!
How do you convince a toddler to eat a casserole stuffed full of healthy veggies? Throw some tater tots on it!!
