Bok Choy Slaw

I followed everything exact except I used Gala aapples because that is what I had. My husband and I like it. But my kids not as much. It is like a mix between an onion and spinach, and cabbage. It is a bit spicy for the kids.

Lala made the pasta to go with the Slaw!

• 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  Preparation

  Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar (or honey), celery salt and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Add bok choy, apple, carrot and onion; toss to coat.

Roasted Bok Choy

• 4 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Mock Magleby's Rolls

Frozen roll dough (I use Terrell's Rolls in freezer section)

1 Stick Butter Melted

1 package of Parmesan

1 tsp Paprika

2 Tablespoons Dried Parsley

Partially thaw dough. {You can Microwave them for about 1 min} Melt butter in a small bowl. Mix Parmesan, parsley and Paprika in another bowl. Roll dough in butter, then in cheese mixture. Place on greased cookie sheet and allow to raise the rest of the way. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

This one looks a little funky and doesn't have very much cheese on it, but they are SO good!

Black Bean Vegetarian Burger

These were SO good and my kids didn’t even know they were made out of beans!

• 2 cups black beans, mashed up
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 3 TBLS salsa
• 1 egg
• 1 Cup cooked rice (brown or white)
• Mix all ingredient together and make patties. Cook on griddle or pan until brown on top. Add lettuce, tomatoes, and other hamburger condiments to finished patties and bun.

We tested out the White Bean Cookies next with pureed white beans. The kids knew about the beans because they helped me make them. They were really good. We doubled the recipe and froze a bunch {but those are also all gone now- my husband is a cookie monster, and I was also!}

Flower Tacos

Tonight for dinner I put the beans to the ultimate test and made this mixed with this. Flower Tacos is what we called them. I used corn tortillas which we usually don't like, but baking them made them really good. Then I made the Bean Dip and used kidney beans. My kids still will not eat an actual bean so I did have to puree them. Then we baked them and topped them with meat, cheese, lettuce, baby tomatoes and ranch! They were delicious, but I am sad to say my boys did NOT eat them. I will try again and again until they do though!! My next goal is to get them to like tomatoes. I think that is one of the reason they didn't want to touch these.

Family Home Donuts {or she calls them Whole Wheat Cake Donuts}

I got the recipe from this great blog called Heavenly Homemakers
Here it is…
3 ¼ cup whole wheat flour
2 t. baking powder
½ t. cinnamon
¼ t. salt
¼ t. nutmeg
2/3 cup sucanat
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
Coconut Oil for frying
Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir in eggs, vanilla, milk and melted butter. Knead dough a few minutes to make sure all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
On a floured surface, roll dough to ½ inch thickness. Cut with donut cutter, or biscuit cutter. Heat oil in skillet or electric skillet…enough to cover the bottom of the skillet about ¼ inch. Place donuts into the hot oil to fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle a mixture of sucanut and cinnamon, or sprinkle organic powdered sugar over the hot donuts.

Mango Chicken Salad

1/2 Cup Mayo {or Vegenaise}

1 T honey

1 t. Curry powder

2-3 cups cooked chicken

1 cup grapes halved

1 cup mangos

1 cups almonds

Servo on a croissant with Romaine lettuce

I know that Croissants aren’t the most healthy thing, but every few months you should splurge, They are delicious!! I also think this would be good just in a lettuce wrap!

Peach Grenades

Now this is a secret recipe I made up on my own, so if you make it and share it with others please give me credit!!

Here is the recipe!! {it is NOT healthy, and I don’t really think I will ever try to make it that way, but once a year {or twice} I will make this and enjoy how unhealthy it is, because it is SO good! But hey peaches are healthy so at least it’s not all unhealthy!!

6-8 Peaches {I like the White peaches the best}

Put peaches in boiling water for about 30 second to get skins soft. Take off peel and core out a hole like a bowl, or you can also just cut them in half and make them into a smaller bowl.

Mix together

2-3 Cups crushed vanilla wafers

1/4 cup melted margarine or butter

1/2 Cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1/4 cup Heath Chips {toffee chips found by the chocolate chips}

1 1/2 T Coconut oil melted

Roll the peach onto the crust. I had to just use a spoon and push it on to each part of the peach. Cover the whole outside

Mix together

1 large box of pudding (made for a pie)

Once pudding is set mix in

1 8oz cream cheese

1/4 Powdered Sugar

1 carton of Cool Whip

crush

1/4 c nuts and

1/2 cup vanilla wafers

1 peach in bite size pieces {or you can used one can of peaches if want to save your other peaches to fill up}

Put 1/2 cup in inside each crusted peach bowl.

Get the spray kind of whipped topping and round off the top of each peach grenade

Then drizzle with Homemade Carmel sauce, and top with Heath Chips!!

And Enjoy!!

This makes a lot of extra stuff. If you have extra use the rest to make a pie. Put the crust on the bottom and then add the filling. Top with whipped cream and caramel and health chips!! I wish I could make it for you all! Let me know how you like it if you try it!

Happy Eating!
