A recap of my week; from play time with the kids, daily meals and meal prep with my sous-chefs.
My version of a vegan brunch; roasted sweet potatoes with a fried egg topped with crunchy pepitas.
Can’t live without my morning homemade espresso!
Crispy Crunch protein balls for energy bar orders this week.
My sous-chefs prepping cookies in the kitchen.
The fruits of their labour; healthy carrot cake breakfast cookies!
Whipped up a yummy parfait with Greek yogurt and homemade date jam.
Savoury spinach crepes stuffed with prosciutto and provolone cheese.
Craft time; painting with cotton balls.
Someone was really excited about painting!
Sometimes you need to just improv for lunch; hummus with rice crisps, vegan bean and kale tomato stew, pickled eggplant, spicy olives, and a fresh avocado.
Dinner on Friday was a fresh, paleo and vegan-friendly avocado pasta sauce for me and the kids…
And a hearty bowl of chicken penne with sundried tomato, portobello mushroom cream sauce for the hubby.
Vegan stew for lunch on Saturday, made with broccoli and sweet potatoes in a ginger-coconut broth.
Oh my word! Everything here looks so good and healthy. I need some healthy in my life. Also, your kids are adorable!
All of the food looks so delicious and I want to try them all 😀
Thanks! Watch for the recipe posts…they’ll be up in the next couple of weeks!
That pasta sauces sounds great. What’s really cool though is the face your little one is making. That’s a priceless picture. 🙂
That one is definitely my favourite pic, lol!
I’m vegan, so your sweet potato brunch looks absolutely amazing!! I want it now! 😉
I’m actually editing the post now…it will be up tomorrow!
Wow all of those meals look amazing! Especially the spinach crepes!!
I thought the kid would be turned off by the colour but they loved them…they love anything in a wrap though, lol!
This is an awesome recap indeed. I love the face on the little one and some of this food looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! And the face, it cracks me up every time I look at it!
This post made me hungry, for real. Love the potatoes! 🙂
I have a recipe posted on the Blog that’s similar to that dish;

Wow your amazing, how do you do all of that? Those little cookies are so cute. I will have to try making those with my little guy.
My kids are old enough to help me in the kitchen! Also, sometimes I give them a sit-down task (puzzles) or crafts (painting) while I cook!
Oh gosh the food you posted doesn’t only look delicious, they’re healthy too! I love the photo of your kids, they’re adorable.
Thanks!
ok, all of these meals look amazing!!!! I am especially in love with that last pasta! YUM!
Thank you! It’s a great combo of flavours…would you believe though that I won’t eat it?! I don’t eat dairy, nor gluten or meat, lol!
Looks like a lot of delicious foods! I love the protein balls they sound great!
They’re very similar to my homemade energy bar recipes (you can find a ton on the Blog!).
Lots of good food here! BTW, I can’t live without good coffee too.. your kids are very cute 🙂
The painting shot is epic. He’s having a lot of fun. I love Lavazza coffee.
I know…SO excited!! I prefer Illy but it’s a little too pricey…Lavazza is the next best 😉
Looks like you have had a busy week. Your littles are so cute and the dishes you shared are delicious sounding
This is what EVERY week looks like in my home, lol!
Lots of yummy items you posted. I love protein energy balls. Those carrot cake breakfast cookies look great also. Thanks for sharing …now Im hungry 🙂
Thank you! The carrot cake cookies will be posted on the Blog this weekend or early next week.
That parfait sounds really good. I like dates but I haven’t had date jam before. I’d love to try it.
It’s basically a date paste-I just blend soft Medjool dates with water and a touch of cinnamon. It’s a great naturally sweetened subsitute for jam!
Everything looks so good and healthy. They look like they are having so much fun cooking and painting 🙂
I need 2 cute little sous chefs like that! Your food looks wonderful. Those spinach crepes, protein balls – it all looks delicious.
Haha, thanks! I hope you make some of the recipes!
Awwww your little helpers are overly cute. I would love to know how to make those protein balls, looks so delicious! Your post makes me hungry, now I am forced to get up and start cooking lol.
Thanks! I haven’t posted the recipe for the protein balls yet but they are very similar to my homemade energy bar recipes! Just use peanut butter instead of almond butter and peanuts instead of cashews or almonds. http://www.bitesforbabies.com/recipes/lemon-coconut-larabars/
