Roll it!
Spread your favourite toppings in a wheat tortilla:
- For breakfast: peanut (or soya) butter, a hint of jam and sliced fruits.
- For lunch: ham, hummus, baby spinach leaves, grated cheese and seasonings.
- For dinner: Long live fajitas! Mild salsas, chicken pieces (or pureed chicken for toddlers), stir-fried vegetables.
- Reconnect with crepes and stuff them the way you like them, with vegetables or fruits.
Tofu please!
Children often appreciate silken tofu… once they have tasted it. Mix it with a fruit puree or buy flavoured tofu snacks (peach, almond, etc.) A hassle-free drink for lunch could be made with silken tofu, milk ((cow’s or soya), a banana and a hint of vanilla. For a special day, use chocolate milk. Yummy!
Tofu sandwich? Of course! Just put it on bread or in a pita.
Tofu spread recipe (for sandwiches or canapés)
Ingredients
- A packet of tofu
- A clove of garlic
- A chopped stalk of celery
- A carrot
- An onion or shallots
- Lemon juice (about two teaspoons or half a lemon)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- One tablespoon Dijon or prepared mustard
- Curry powder
- Turmeric
- Salt, pepper or other spices
Preparation
- Put all in a blender until smooth.
- Adjust if necessary by adding mayonnaise, lemon juice and mustard.
- Can be kept up to five days in the refrigerator.
Sauce it up!
- For an original white sauce, replace cow’s milk with soy milk. A touch of Parmesan and a hint of nutmeg can also add a lot of oomph to a traditional sauce.
- Do you have too many vegetables in your tank? Throw it all in a huge pot with a can of tomatoes or two, blend the whole thing, and you will have a nice and creamy vegetable sauce.
- Three ingredients: zucchini, milk and cheese! That will make an original sauce that will delight pasta fans.
- Another great idea for a pasta sauce: a mixture of milk, cream cheese, pesto and a little flour. Delicious!
