Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Waffles

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 9 Comments

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Waffles. Gluten free and so YUM! Sweet potatoes and chocolate for breakfast? Yes please! Today is Parker's 2nd birthday! Ahhh, how did two years pass by so quickly?! (You can read Parker's birth story here). And if There's one thing I know as his mama-- he loves breakfast food. So these Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Waffles are in order for the big day. When the sweet boy wakes up in the morning, he climbs out of his big boy bed, opens his door and shuts the door behind him (this cracks me up-- it's like he's saying I'm outta there.) And then he sleepily walks over to his high chair and points and at the same time points at the TV because he wants to watch a show while he enjoys his breakfast. It's a little ritual he has right now, and it just puts a smile on ... View Post

Protein and veggies are sometimes tough to get in a toddler, but BUT casseroles like Vegetarian Roasted Eggplant Lasagna makes toddlers (and mamas) happy at dinner time. WINNING! This is an oldie recipe from my blog archives that I remade (and revamped) for the fam jam last night. In the process I ... View Post

Vegetarian Harvest Grain Bowls

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 12 Comments

This post is sponsored by Village Farms. I’m loving all the fall flavors in these Vegetarian Harvest Grain Bowls. Quinoa, arugula, Village Farms Cabernet Estate Reserve® tomatoes, apples, roasted sweet potatoes, dried tart cherries and pumpkin seeds tossed together with an apple cider vinaigrette. Eating a hearty vegetarian meal like this grain bowl feels so nourishing, especially this time of year when food tends to be heavier comfort food.

The refined earthy flavors of the Cabernet Estate Reserve® tomatoes are reminiscent of a fine wine and make this the perfect addition to your fresh fall dishes. You may be thinking fresh tomatoes are only good as a summer snack? Well, thanks to ... View Post

4 Yummy Ways to Add Veggies To Breakfast Toast

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 13 Comments

This post is sponsored by Village Farms. If you’re looking for ways to add veggies to breakfast, try these 4 savory toast combos with tomatoes. It’s officially Fall, but depending on where you live it may not feel like it yet. (Thanks, Florida!) Here in FL, the weather we can count on is SUN AND HEAT. We will get an occasional “cold front” that will blow in during the fall/winter months and may last a few days, but the sun and warm temps are part of Florida living. So to truly feel the change of seasons we take little weekend vacations. If you’ve been reading this blog for long enough, you know I LOVE me some fall! I start burning pumpkin spice candles in August and put up fall decor at the start of football season. We start making autumn squash soup and eating all things with apple ... View Post
