Peanut Butter and Banana Waffle

0 Comment

I’m very excited to share with you one my son’s favorite breakfasts. Peanut Butter & Banana Waffles are our family’s “go to” breakfast during the week. Everyone of all ages will love this! My son has been eating this since he was a year old. Now, my son is 11 and he has never had syrup on his waffles. Instead, he gets a protein packed breakfast with 2 fruit servings to start his day We love the strawberry waffles from Eggo, it kinda taste like you are eating a PB&J sammy minus all the sugar! This is a super simple breakfast or snack that you could make it at work, if you have a toaster oven (I do!).

Masala Kale Chips

I am obsessed with potato chips and eat them all the time. My favorite are Masala Chips from India and luckily for me (unlucky for my thighs) I can get them from my Indian Grocery Store. So, I tried to use the same flavor of ingredients as in my Kale Chips. The end result was delicious. If you like a salty chip you may have to add more salt at the end of baking, I sure did! If you think your child will not even look at Kale Chips…You will be surprised……My son couldn’t & wouldn’t wait until I took picture for this blog entry. Encourage your child to try different veggie chips, they may like them.

Chipotle Pulled Pork is tender & very flavorful. This crock pot dish has a lot of hidden nutrients from sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are extremely nutritious and hiding them in food is a great way for everyone to get additional beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin C; fiber, thiamine, niacin, potassium, copper, protein, calcium, and vitamin E. So EAT UP……Did I mention that this is a NO FUSS CROCK POT DISH? Oh, and the leftovers freeze great!!
You can serve Chipotle pulled pork over rice, make little sliders , make a fancy burrito bowl and don’t forget… tacos/burritos & enchiladas……….ENJOY!!

Fresh Tomatoes, Basil, Garlic and seasonings make this a topper that is great for chicken, pasta, toasty bread, salad, baked potato or inside of a sandwich. You can chop it up in no time.
