Gut-Healthy “Beefaroni” // Made in just one pot, this meal is easy to make and clean up! Think Chef Boyardee but with clean ingredients that are fresh and not packed with preservatives, sitting on a store shelf in a can. My picky eater always asks for seconds or thirds of this dish (🥳). By using grass-fed beef & bone broth, I know he’s getting nutrient-dense protein and a good amount of brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids. #recipe 1 tbsp olive oil 1lb grass-fed ground beef 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 2 cups beef or chicken bone broth 2 cups water (or more bone broth) 16 oz gluten-free short pasta of choice 28oz tomato sauce or your favorite marinara (@) Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add ground beef and cook until cooked through and browned. Season with salt & spices. Stir in bone broth, water, pasta, and tomato sauce. Cover and cook until the shells are tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Ready to serve! Top with good olive oil and parsley. #beefaroni #pasta #onepot #pastarecipes #easyrecipe #easymeals #glutenfree #kidfriendlyfood #healthykidsfood

Broccoli Cheddar Soup // If you’re a fan on this soup at Panera, you have to try making it at home because it’s easy and a family favorite! Warm & cheesy, I find the smaller you cut up the broccoli the better for pickier eaters, like my son. I also like this version because it’s lighter than similar recipes, just using a cup of milk, no heavy cream, and skips using canned condensed soups with added ingredients by instead making a roux to achieve a rich, creamier texture. #recipe 4 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 1/4 cup organic all-purpose flour 4 cups vegetable or bone broth 3 cups broccoli, finely chopped 1 carrot, grated 1 cup grass-fed whole milk 3 cups cheddar, shredded Salt & pepper, to taste In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and celery and cook until soft, 5 minutes.Whisk in flour and let cook 1 minute. Slowly add broth and season with salt and pepper. Stir in broccoli and carrots. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Let simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Slowly add milk and bring to a simmer, then stir in cheddar. Top with more cheddar. Serve! #broccolicheddar #soupseason #souprecipe #kidfriendlyfood #easyrecipes #healthyfood #healthymeals

Air Fryer Carrot Fries // I love this idea for fries because I always have carrots in my fridge that need to be put to use. Sweet and savory, these are similar to sweet potato fries but hold their own. Also works with baby carrots. Change up the seasonings to your liking and let me know what combos come out delicious! 🥕 #recipe 4-5 large carrots, peeled & cut into sticks 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp salt Dried parsley for garnish (optional) In a bowl, combine carrots, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Stir until combined. Place carrots in the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 380F for 13 minutes, tossing them halfway through cooking. Serve with dipping sauces of your choice! #carrots #fries #airfryer #easyrecipes #healthykidsfood #kidfriendlyfood

Greek Yogurt Mini Muffins // I love baking with Greek Yogurt! It makes baked good extra moist and provides added nutrients, like protein, calcium, & B vitamins. So skip the Little Bites in the aisles of the grocery store, and make these healthier mini muffins for lunchboxes or a snack at home. Perfect to make ahead start of the week to store in the fridge and change up the toppings to make them your kids favorites! #recipe 1 1/2 cups organic all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup avocado or coconut oil 2 eggs 1/2 cup pure maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract Toppings of choice: chocolate chips, sprinkles, fruit, nuts, etc. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and oil. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix together until combined. Add toppings of choice and store to combine. Use a mini muffin pan and spray with cooking oil spray (avocado, coconut, etc.) and divide batter using a tablespoon portion. Bake the muffins at 350F 15-18 minutes. Store in the fridge for up to a week! #healthybaking #littlebites #minimuffins #lunchboxideas #snackideas #greekyogurt #kidfriendlyfood #healthykidsfood #kidfriendlyrecipes #lunchboxideasforkids #pickyeater

Organic Peanut Butter Oat Cups // A healthier alternative to a Reece’s cup with the same flavors, but made with better ingredients & added nutrition from organic sprouted oats. And, you can swap for any nut or seed butter! A feel good treat the family will enjoy. 😋💛 *I always opt for organic oats because they are not produced with chemical pesticides or fertilizers, like glyphosate. And sprouted oats are easier to digest making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients. #recipe 1 1/2 cups organic sprouted rolled oats 1/3 cup organic maple syrup 1 cup organic peanut butter (just peanuts & salt) 1/2 cup allergy-friendly chocolate chips, melted In a large bowl, mix oats, 1/2 cup peanut butter, and maple syrup. The mixture should be sticky and easy to shape when pressed together. Add muffin liners to a muffin tin. Using a cookie scoop, scoop oat mixture into a ball. Place the mixture into the tin and press down to pack tightly halfway up the liner. Make a dent in the center of each cup with your thumb. Add about 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter to each cup and spread in an even layer. Cover your peanut butter layer with about a tablespoon of melted chocolate. Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter in an even layer. Freeze for 20 minutes, and transfer to fridge to store, covered, until ready to serve! #organic #peanutbuttercups #peanutbutter #oats #organicoats #glutenfree #dairyfree #vegan #kidfriendlyfood #healthydesserts #healthyrecipes #ingredientsmatter
