Moms On The Go: Check Out These Great Recipes
These recipes were developed for moms on the go. They take such little time you'll forget you were even in the kitchen.
Pastina
1 (14 oz) can chicken broth
1/4 cup mini star pasta, or acini de pepe or whole wheat tri colored pasta to make it fun!
1/4 cup frozen mixed peas & carrots
Boil chicken broth, add pasta & veggies, then lower
to a simmer for about 20 minutes. Let cool then serve.
Hearty Lentils
2 carrots, peeled & sliced into coins
1 onion chopped
2 low sodium chicken bouillon cubes
1 (12oz) bag lentils
Saute carrots & onion in a little olive oil. Add lentils,
bouillon and cover with water (by approx. 2").
Bring to a simmer about 1 hour. I serve over cooked pasta (any fun shape). Add
cooked broccoli on top and lots of grated parmesan cheese.
Yummy Almond Vanilla Oatmeal
1/4 cup plain oatmeal
1 tbsp almond butter*
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
about 3/4 cup water
Put everything together in a small serving bowl, except
almond butter. After cooking oatmeal in microwave on high about 1 1/2 to 2
minutes, stir in almond butter until it melts smooth. Adds a delicious almond
flavor & adds
protein, fiber, plus a good fat for staying power through morning at school!
It is recommended to wait until 3 years of age to introduce tree nuts.
