Nachos are a great way to sneak in veggies for the little ones. Try this colorful nacho recipe and watch the little fingers eat it all up.
Nachos are quickly becoming a staple on my menu of easy recipes. The key for me is finding new and creative ways to reinvent an oldie but goodie. We have slowly been cutting back on our meat consumption and replacing our decision with more beans, rice and vegetables.
I can say that most of my recipes are kid tested and approved. I am always trying to figure out new and creative ways of sneaking healthy food into a kid’s diet.
Cabbage on nachos might sound crazy, and well, maybe it is. I think it’s refreshing and adds so much color to an already bright dish – plus it tastes absolutely wonderful.
