Tomato Mango Chicken
The spices don’t have exact measurements in this recipe – just add to your own liking!
3 chicken breasts – cubed, 1 cup brown rice (prepare separately according to directions on packaging), 1 green pepper – chopped, 1 red pepper – chopped, 1 tomato – chopped, 6 large mushrooms – chopped, 2 carrots – chopped, 4 Tbsp a simple tomato based pasta sauce, 1 small onion diced, 1 Tbsp olive oil, some water, one mango, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic powder, curry powder.
Start your rice cooking. Dice the onion, and heat it on medium with the olive oil in a frying pan, once onion is soft add the chicken you have cubed. Add some water if the chicken starts to stick – just enough to stop it sticking. Cook the chicken, leaving it still tender. Add the pasta sauce, and spices to taste, mix well. Add all the vegetables, cover, and allow to cook for about 10 min. Peel the mango and cut off pieces over the frying pan so that the juices are falling into the pan as well. Mix it in, and cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, remove the cover and cook on high for another 5 minutes or until rice is finished. Serve over the brown rice and enjoy!
Broccoli dinner.
This was the simplest dinner! The little bear loved it too 
– and he is getting a little more picky these days…
Cook some jasmine rice, how much will depend on your appetite, and mouths to feed! Steam a very large quantity of broccoli (the little bear and I ate 3 large heads).
Mix 1 Tbsp miso paste, 1 Tbsp tahini butter, 3 Tbsp boiling water. Mix until the miso and tahini butter have dissolved (add a little more water if needed). Add 3 Tbsp of nutritional yeast, 1 tsp each of dried parsley flakes, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well, and add more dry ingredients or water as needed until the mixture forms a thick sauce. Stir in 1tsp of molasses.
Put it all together, and it’s done!
So simple I know, but it has so many great nutrients, and a flavour everyone will love…and best of all it’s quick and easy!

Green Smoothie
Yummy yummy! I’ve been bad about greens lately, so decided to put some in a smoothie! It tastes soooo good – and the little bear likes it too
2 large leaves kale, 1/2 cup juice (I used mango), 1/2 banana, about 6 large frozen strawberries, a Tbsp or 2 of plain yogurt, and a Tbsp of Hemp protein powder. Delicious and nutritious!

potatoe leek soup recipe
I’m so proud of this soup I made! It’s great for the little bear too – he loves the cubes of potatoes that he can pick up with his fingers…
Ingredients: 2 russet potatoes, 1 yam, 1 parsnip (could use another potato if you don’t like them), 1 leek, 1small onion chopped, some grated ginger (to your taste), a few cloves of garlic pressed/grated, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/4 c plain yogurt, 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp dehydrated parsley, 1 tsp italian seasoning, and other spices you like!
Directions: put the olive oil, onion, garlic, and ginger in a frying pan on medium heat and stir occasionally while they cook for 2 min. Add the leaks, cook for another 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally. Boil 2 cups of water in a pot, and add the nutritional yeast and other spices, then add the potatoes and parsnip (peeled and cut into small cubes). Boil the potatoes and parsnips uncovered until they are tender. Put the leak and garlic mix into a blender with half a cup of the water from the potatoes, 1/2 cup of the potatoe and parsnip cubes and the yogurt. Blend until there are no large chunks. Pour the mix back into the pot with the remaining cubes and broth, mix and allow to cook on medium for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve up and enjoy!
