The girls made dinner tonight and commented that it was tasty and satisfying; something they worry about since I’ve Veganized our kitchen.

This meal is very simple and easy for little helpers.

I always have red sauce in the fridge and usually some gourmet cheese ravioli in the freezer.

The salad really rounds out this meal. Fresh veggies at every meal just makes good sense.

Meatless Monday was so easy today. We all worked together. This mom loved it!

Today is one of those, comfort-food-in-the-midwest kind of days. And although I try to stay away from processed and packaged foods, I do admit my guilty pleasure for Trader Joe’s Meatless Meatballs.

They are fantastic and with your favorite red sauce they could fool your favorite carnivore.

If you like, pile them on top of whole wheat pasta or stuff them in a whole wheat bun for an amazing “meatball” sandwich.

Every now and then a little “food frivolity” doesn’t hurt. This is one guilty pleasure that you really don’t have to feel all that guilty about!
