The above photo is a dinner I fixed for my family. We are trying to eat less meat and more produce. This meal consisted of homemade hummus, homemade cheese crackers, snap peas from in-laws garden, carrots, and cucumber slices. The protein in the hummus and cheese helps to keep us full longer. I really thought I would be starving a couple hours after eating this, but I was surprised when I was still happily full later. My kids really love it when I make the cheese crackers. Lately we have been having this meal about once a week. It is a good way to use up all the yummy homegrown veggies.
I am not going to lie and tell you that my kids love these meals and eat all their veggies. They often complain, but we keep serving them and try to be good examples. They do have to at least try a bite or two. I figure if they keep trying them they will eventually decide they are not that bad.
What meals have you and your family been eating lately? How are you using all the delicious fresh produce that is available right now?
