Veggie Breakfast Tacos

These breakfast tacos are surprisingly delicious! The smoky seasoning on the black beans combined with the sweetness from the roasted sweet potatoes creates a flavor combination that I want to wake up to every day. Students as young as 5 can begin to scramble their own eggs. Class Tips to remember: Personally, breakfast tacos have…

Fruit Nachos

A yummy, easy treat! I love this recipe with peaches. You can use fresh during the summer peach season, or frozen all year long for a perfectly balanced snack. With peach nachos, you flip the script and the peaches become your “chips”. Fruit Nachos Ingredients 2 cups peaches (fresh or frozen work best) 1 cup…

Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

This isn’t really as much of a recipe as it is a reminder that fruit and yogurt parfaits are perfection.

Watermelon Lime Refresher

Ingredients 1 pound watermelon Juice from 1 lime 1 cup sparkling water (lime flavored is nice) Instructions

Grilled Chicken Tenderloins

Rainbow Summer Rolls

Eloise has been very into “rainbow order” of colors lately. Specifically putting all of her Magna Tiles into rainbow order during clean up time. Is this a newfound fascination with rainbow order, or procrasti-cleaning at it’s best? Regardless, I thought it would be fun to include some rainbow themed foods this week. You can use…
