You want your child to eat his broccoli. He’d rather feed it to the dog. How do you reach a middle ground (you know, one where he eats ALL of his broccoli)? I’ve got an answer, one that involves getting kids to eat more vegetables consistently without an objection ever crossing their mind. When I…

instant lamb stew

Having been without a slow cooker for many months, I had a hankering to cook up the grass fed lamb cubes that had been sitting in my freezer for some time. You see, after learning that so many crock pots are testing positive for lead (thank you Lead Safe America), I got rid of mine and started…

A Vegetable Turkey Loaf that is Divine

by Dawn Lorenz Leave a Comment

Vegetables are the most important and nutritious food available. It’s important to get them into our diet as much as possible, so I often incorporate them into recipes that typically don’t include them. I shared pictures of a veggie turkey loaf I had made for dinner on my personal FB page two weeks ago and people…

Better for You Brownies

by Dawn Lorenz Leave a Comment

I guess I should start by stating that I was PMSing. I wanted chocolate. I wanted brownies. So, I got on the computer and found some nice looking recipes for some great ones made from scratch. Some called for honey or maple syrup as sugar sweeteners, some for avocado, some for coconut oil, etc. The…

Getting Kids Into Veggies and Veggies Into Kids TWO

by Dawn Lorenz Leave a Comment

“Slip some cauliflower puree into a bowl of instant mac and cheese, and aren’t you also inadvertently cementing a kid’s belief that cauliflower does not exist in a beneficent universe?” – Dara Moskowitz Grumgahl (Experience Life Magazine) I want to start by commenting on those naysayers of ‘hiding’ veggies.
