I'm a busy mom who happens to be a vegetarian and an advocate for home-cooked foods... which means I'm always looking for quick, easy, nutritious vegetarian recipes. If they're kid-friendly, all the better! I'm also interested in the health benefits of natural supplements and uses for natural products. I'm willing to share all my interests, curiosities and proven yummy recipes!

Spinach Nuggets
My daughter loves these and I haven't made them in a a while, so it's her surprise for dinner tonight. These are quick and easy, and they're great for meals or just munching. I prefer to use flax seed as an egg substitute, but if you don't, you can replace the flax seed and water with 3 whole eggs or 5 egg whites.
2 cups frozen spinach
1/2 cup chopped frozen broccoli
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbsp flax seed mixed with 1/2 cup water
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp paprika
Preheat oven to 375. Boil spinach and broccoli together, then drain. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Shape into nuggets on non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip nuggets, and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
