I recently discovered a great little site from a co-worker called Weelicious. I fell in love with it instantly because it prides itself on creating recipes that are “quick, easy and nutritious made using fresh, but minimal ingredients”. For those who lead a busy lifestyle, who wouldn’t love this site? The other thing that I loved is that it holds an educational piece for families. The author of the blog (and mother of 2), Catherine McCord, encourages readers to teach their children about healthy food and make cooking a family affair that becomes fun for everyone!
This website holds recipes that are great for any age (from infants starting on solid foods to school-age kids and even adults) and includes a ‘search by food group’ section that includes recipes that are gluten free. I have tried a number of different recipes from this site and would love to share some of my favorites with you:
• Thai Curry Cellophane Noodles (see picture below)
• Kale and Avocado Salad
• Chewy Granola Balls
• Roasted Honey & Cinnamon Chickpeas
Both the chewy granola balls and roasted honey and cinnamon chickpeas were crowd pleasers amongst my friends and family and will definitely appear at many social gatherings to come. Plus, they took minimal time to make and are creations you can scrape together with little notice. I am often a fan of using agave nectar in sweet treats and substituted agave nectar for the honey in the chickpeas recipe which worked out fabulous. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Happy experimenting!
