I have discovered that I love grilled zucchini. Taking that love and running with it we decided to make wraps last weekend. They were so good, I could eat them every day. I'm telling you.. Best. Wrap. Ever. I had gobbled it down before remembering to take a picture.
Zucchini sliced lengthwise and grilled for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Garbanzo beans
Red pepper hummus
Spinach
Tomato
Avocado
Mushroom
Red onion
Sriracha sauce
For each wrap:
Spread 1-2 tbsp of red pepper hummus onto wrap. Layer with spinach, tomato, mushroom, avocado and onion. Add about 1/4 cup of garbanzo beans and a couple of slices of zucchini. Top with desired amount of Sriracha sauce. Roll and enjoy!
The moment the kids set foot off of the bus the only thing they want to know is what they can have for a snack. I wish I could say it's all hugs and "I've missed you"s but that would be a lie. B and I have a rule in our household; One sugary snack per day. You may eat all of the fruits and veggies you desire. We were fed up with the daily begging for more snacks. "Not fair.. I saw C eat two bars and there were only one in my package." or "A's snack is bigger than mine" or "I'm still hungry" We didn't want them spoiling their appetite for dinner with junk food, but B pointed out that if they wanted to fill upon healthy foods, why stop them?
The best thing I have found is to buy fresh fruit and vegetables and prepare it as soon as you get home from the store. Store it in easy to get into containers and keep them stocked. If I don't wash and prepare the fruits and veggies immediately they will typically go bad before anyone eats them.
