My little Sous Chefs

Last night I tried the Baked Ziti recipe from Whole Food Mommies.

Whole Food Mommies

It was a hit! I've been an epic failure when it comes to feeding my kids health options.  So, over the past few years we've been eliminating A LOT of processed foods and now we're working on adding back in whole foods.

Jeff and I had been really working on eating whole foods, but we hadn't been including our kids in the meals so it was just too much work.  Enter websites like Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live, Whole Food Mommies, Healthy Girl's Kitchen, and the Engine 2 Diet.

We find several recipes that we've tried with our kids and the results have been mixed,  but the baked ziti got raves reviews all around.

I used brown rice penne pasta instead whole wheat, I only used about 4 or 5 baby portabella mushrooms, 1/2 of a red pepper, and we didn't use the kale this time.  I'll probably try it next time though!
Other than those variances, I followed the recipe and it turned out great!

I added fresh green beans as a side.  Here are my sous chefs cutting up the green beans (Well, one is not so little anymore..):

Let me know if you try it!!
