Here is a quick and simple meal I threw together last night. It went over much better then I expected! You never know how new foods will go over over with little ones, but I did some things to help make it more appealing. I used corn spaghetti noodles-which they love, and I used vegetables they were familiar with. It really is beautiful with all the colors- I really wish I had taken a photo so you could see!
With this stir fry, I gave the girls some tuna fish (made with canola mayo and chopped up celery), and some black beans. For Mara, I just added the black beans into the stir fry and she ate it all up!
Ingredients:
- 1-2 carrots, chopped
- 1/2 cup broccoli
- 1 stalk celery
- 1/4 cup peas
- 1/4 cup green beans
- 1/4 cup corn
- 1-2 tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 tsp basil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tbsp alternative bread crumbs (I used Orgran's All Purpose Crumbs)
- corn spaghetti, or any other alternative pasta
Cook pasta as directed. In a wok or frying pan, add the canola oil and carrots. Cook for a few minutes to soften the carrots, and then add the rest of the vegetables. As the vegetables begin to soften, add salt and pepper to taste. When pasta is finished cooking, add it into the vegetable mix. Add the basil, and then the bread crumbs. With the bread crumbs, I just added a bit at a time, stirring and adding until noodles were completely coated.
Very simple and delicious!
