Mushroom And Asparagus Quiche
Eggs are a super food and known for all of their versatile uses. I do believe you can serve eggs in America at any meal and not feel like it is inappropriate. My boyfriend and I will very often eat eggs for dinner in one form or another. For us, eggs are satisfying. I have an awesome egg recipe here that you can pull out any ol’ time and its quick and easy. For the quiche in the picture above, I did use egg whites for a lower calorie version. Quiche will taste great with the egg whites or whole eggs. You don’t get as much of the nutritional value without the egg…

Pumpkin And Sweet Potato Soup
It’s still pretty cold in Western Washington but we’re marching towards spring. There are a few extra minutes of day light every afternoon now but as soon as the sun goes down, there is still a strict chill and cravings for something creamy and delicious. This soup is loaded with vitamins and it has just the right amount of sweetness. Let’s dish on milk real quick. I make this soup dairy free because I love the light flavor and texture of almond milk. This soup was created for its ability to dairy swap. You could certainly use regular cows milk (low fat) or even cashew milk would be okay. At…

Sweet Potato And Black Bean Tacos
A delicious dinner without fuss, you’ll love this simplistic vitamin packed dinner. I love that its quick to make and filling. Its an nontraditional meal but I find when I made it for children, they love the shapes, textures and flavors. They will likely eat the meal in pieces if they are under the age of about 7 but that is pretty normal, right? Sweet Potatoes A food that I love to cook with in the fall and winter months that is very versatile and packed with nutrition is the sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A, vitamin B5, B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and, due to their orange color,…
