- Whole Grain Strawberry-filled Cereal Bites. The first box was polished off in 3 days. We're working on box number 2 at the moment. The boys love to eat them for breakfast, but these handy little fruit-filled squares double as a travel-friendly snack for the park, picnic storytime, or, well, anywhere you can imagine. Beware - Trader Joe's also makes a chocolate-filled version of these all-natural, crunchy, addictive little cereal bites!
- Tandoori Garlic Naan (Indian style flatbread). Nann looks sort of like a pita but is softer and doesn't have a pocket. I like to put a slice of Naan in the toaster oven, heat it until it's warm all the way through, and spread butter over the top. Toby likes his Naan with provolone cheese melted on top and cut into small pieces (he calls it "pizza"). Aaron likes to eat Naan warm with butter and parmesean cheese on top with maranara sauce to dip it in. It's easy to create lots of different meals with naan as the base. Naan has no saturated fat and 8 grams of protein per serving!
- Cinnamon Schoolbook Cookies. Not only do these alphabet-shaped cookies have no preservatives or artificial flavors and colors, but they taste good, too! Toby and I practiced his letters with cinnamon cookies today. How cool is that?!
Because I love baking and cooking (and food in general!), it's fun for me to come up with fresh new meal ideas for Aaron and the boys. Not every new meal idea is a winner, but it's fun to mix it up every once in a while and let my creativity run wild in the kitchen.
Take a chance and try new foods. Shop at a new grocery store. Take some time and actually explore what's on each aisle of the grocery store instead of just running through. I bet you'll come up with some new meal ideas your family will love!
