Question: How many superfoods are a part of your diet?
I bet there are more than you think! After perusing through my friend Kelly's new book, Superfoods at Every Meal, I realized that I shouldn't feel bad that I can't seem to find a way to get my kids to chow down on goji berries or seaweed, because I am feeding them every single superfood on Kelly's list of everyday superfoods!
- Quinoa
- Chickpeas
- Kale
- Sweet potatoes
- Blueberries
- Eggs
- Honey
- Coconut oil
- Greek yogurt
- Walnuts
That pretty much reads like my weekly grocery list! (It's safe to say that I will never try and force feed my kids seaweed or goji's again!)
When I first flipped through the pages of Kelly's book I immediately found myself drawn to her kale and artichoke dip. I love all kinds of artichoke dip and hardly ever pass up a reason to indulge in it. So, on a particularly chilly Saturday afternoon here in Long Beach I broke out my stash of yummy dippers and baked up a big pan of this dip. I assure you, it did not disappoint!
After working my way through this book cover to cover I have decided that these recipes are next on my to make list:
- Maple Sweet Potato Hash with Fried Eggs
- Kale Egg Scramble
- Walnut Hummus
- Quinoa Breakfast Tacos
- Chipotle Cheesy Corn Dip
- Blueberry Creamsicles
Just so you know, some of Kelly's recipes do contain gluten, but I have found that they are super easy swaps. Gluten free all-purpose flour for all purpose flour, or your favorite gluten free bread for whole wheat bread is about all the swap ups needed. For this recipe I substituted gluten free pretzels, bagel chips, and rice crackers for the pita chips that were called for in Kelly's recipe. Also, there are a few dishes that contain meat, but out of the 100 recipes in this book 70 of them are vegetarian!
