  • A new recipe is born 🎊 A fridge clean-up is the real reason behind this lovely recipe: I had tons of fresh zucchini that I didn't want to start getting mushy + a big piece of Gouda cheese that has been looking at me sadly for some time and....a still warm butternut squash + veggie marinara sauce that I filmed in the morning for a new video recipe. All the ingredients combined created this yummy Zucchini Lasagna with Gouda and Veggie Sauce. Tested on the family last night: thumbs up from the kids (it's cheesy and with a nice and delicate sweet background thanks to the squash) and double thumbs up from hubby (even he suggested that some mortadella in within the layers would have made it perfect) 😆 You can still find the whole story in my stories +highlights. And here you are the recipe INGREDIENTS for 4 people: 6/8 medium zucchini sliced in long thin strips 2 cups cheese, I had Gouda to finish but provola, asiago, or even a good quality cheddar will work 1/2 cup almond meal 2 Tbsp hemp seeds yes!! I even added them 😉 2 Tbsp olive oil 3 cups butternut squash and tomato sauce. (see below for the recipe) Shortcut. @traderjoes sells a very good butternut squash marinara sauce 😉👍🏼 PROCEDURE: In a baking dish add the olive oil + 2 Tbsp almond meal at the bottom. Create one layer of zucchini. Spread few tablespoons of sauce on top, than some cheese and one Tbsp hemp seeds. Create another layer with the same sequence: zucchini + sauce + cheese + hemp seeds. Three layers total. Add one handful of grated parmesan cheese on the top layer for a golden crust. Bake at 400F for 30min. You might want to switch from bake to grill mode in the last 5 minutes for that lovely golden crust!! BUTTERNUT SQUASH SAUCE: In a pan add 3 cloves garlic + 2 Tbsp olive oil + 1/2 onion diced. Saute 3 min. Add 1 butternut squash in cubes + 1/2 head cauliflower + 2 carrots in cubes + 1 yellow bell pepper in pieces + 3 fresh tomatoes + 1 cup tomato sauce + 1 cup warm water or broth. Season with salt + thyme + oregano. Simmer for 30min up until the sauce has reduced.Let it cool down and blend into a smooth sauce 👍🏼 #zucchinilasagna #veggielasagna #kidsfood #healthyrecipes #healthyrecipe

  • Props, props and props: small objects that you can safely insert in the lunchbox to transform it in a fun and exciting surprise. For Halloween I prepared a cup filled with small themed objects like the ones you see today that I found around the house in drawers 😆. I cleaned them so that they can stay in contact with food 😉. Last night I prepared the lunchboxes and called the kids: they could pick from the cup and decorate their lunchbox 😊 Well, they spent a good half an hour choosing the right prop and they checked with me this morning that the props were inside and I didn’t remove them 😁 Also...remind your kids to bring back the props and if they are young, not to eat them!! 😆 Today we have: Swiss chards and tomato frittata + zucchini brownies + steamed green beans + mandarin. Happy Tuesday!!!! #halloweenfood #halloweenlunchbox #kidslunchbox #toddlerlunchbox #lunchbox #schoollunch #lunchboxideas #healthylunchbox
  • Easy Monday #lunchbox : beef and veggie empanadas from the farmer’s market + homemade banana bread + grapes + tomatoes + almonds. #schoollunch #lunchboxideas #kidslunchbox #toddlerlunchbox #healthylunchbox
  • Farmer’s Market helpers 😉 Sunday morning equals farmer’s market and the kids know it. Reality check: it has not always been easy to convince them to come, sometimes they are bored and sometimes they simply want to stay home. Still, I feel it’s totally worth. Here is what makes their experience fun and why at the end they come back 😉: - samples from the vendors (fruit/honey...and homemade cookies 😆) - the chicks that the egg vendor brings at the market once in a while - the wild bunny that lives in a remote bushy corner of the market and that they feed with carrots tops every week (the market is next to a wild area of a park) - the fact that being a small market in a safely enclosed space they can run around freely (the vendors know them and I can easily keep an eye from the distance) - the green grass patch where they can play soccer when we bring the ball - the children’s book stand that has always something interesting - the seasonal events for kids like this week: face painting and tattoos!! On my side I feel that the Sunday morning market is our special time together, I love explaining them how the different food grows, tastes and has a different effect on your body. We have fun doing the “what is that?” game. And I let them pick any fruit or veggies that they like to have in their lunchboxes. Which is your favorite family tradition with the kids? Happy Monday!! #farmersmarket #organicfood #familytradition #lifewithkids
