More Recipies

Here are some more recipes, that we have made. I try to cook with all the kids since they are more likely to try it of they have helped to make it.


Zuchinni Pancakes

2-3 zuchinnis shredded
low fat cheese
a few tablespoons of whole wheat flour
olive oil
salt and pepper
scoop of flax and wheat germ
2 eggs

You can really make this with lots of veggies and sweet potatoes, summer squash, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, ect.


Shred the zucchinis and press out extra moisture, mix with flour, cheese, salt and pepper, flour, flax and wheat germ and eggs, mix all together. In a pan on medium high heat, put is a swirl of olive oil, they do not need to deep fry. Form small pancakes and fry on either side until brown.


Easy sauce that is good for dipping meat, veggies and pancakes in.
Plain greek yogurt
Fresh basil
Fresh minced garlic
Lemon juice
salt and pepper

Chop basil and minced garlic and mix with a few scoops of greek yogurt to make a delicious side sauce.

You can also substitute herbs, for example if you grill peaches or pineapple for a dessert you could mix with fresh mint and a squirt of honey instead for a delicious topping.

Crunchy Chicken

Chicken tenders
Whole Wheat Panko Crumbs
Eggs
Whole Wheat Flour

Set up the dipping station, fill one container with whole wheat Flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with two beaten eggs and one with panko crumbs

Take eat chicken tender and dip in the flour to coat, then the egg, then the panko crumbs. The kids love to do this!!!

Then bake on a sheet in a 375 oven for 20-30 minutes and you have crunchy chicken!!
