After doing a bit of work with kids the past few weeks including a presentation for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and several family home visits I got inspired try some healthy meals the whole family might enjoy. I hope you like them as much as we did!
Grilled cheese and apple slices with tahini
What's tahini you ask? Think peanut butter, but instead of using peanuts it's sesame seeds. It's the yummy, and creamy, and tastes like peanut butter and comes with same nutrition but has more healthy fats and is also a great source of iron! Yum yum!
Tuna melt with Sweet potato fries
Don't just use tuna, add a favorite veggie to the bread too. Try something like tomato, green peas, celery, or really whatever you want! Homemade sweet potato fries are SUPER easy. Directions: Peel potatoes, slice into shape, drizzle with a bit of oil, salt and bake until crispy.
Homemade Tuna (with oatmeal!) Buger
Yes I did say tuna and I did say oatmeal. A different take to the regular beef burger, but less calories, less (bad) fat, less cholesterol, and more fiber. Win win. To prepare these, mix together one can of tuna, two egg whites, a ¼-cup of dry oatmeal and a ½-teaspoon of garlic and celery (or green onion) and fry lightly in oil on stove top.

Bean burritos and veggies
Instead of all ground beef try using beans, or half beans and half ground beef for a delicious high fiber burrito. Add your favorite veggies, shredded cheese and you're done!
