to do like a tablespoon that's a better now best salad you've ever had no
good job
laughs
stage is up let's go get her
all right Sage you just woke up she's having a banana honestly breakfast is the hardest
meal for us with her because she's not that hungry it's probably because she gets her boob
juice in the morning so she'll usually just like have some butter toast fruit cucumber
um or sometimes we make like pancakes or french toast it's not into oatmeal so she's not gonna be
eating what I'm eating well oh she won't then um should we pick up your banana that's on the floor
you've been watching too many Despicable Me with the minions
all right Sage is having some of the um
peanut butter coconut cookies from the baby house cookbook okay you can have that for breakfast
you're getting so good at that she gets up and down all by herself now
you have your cookies oh okay
look
little cinnamon
you're in the shot you're in the shot I'm making my red quinoa oatmeal from the blog I'll link it
down below and it's basically a mixture of oats and red quinoa I got this like mixed one because
that's what they had at the store it's pretty easy to make I'm just gonna add coconut milk
some banana for sweetness some cinnamon and stuff and then top it with some pecans and yummy stuff
good job oh you want to try it okay thank you thank you that's so nice
um why don't we put in the rest of this banana that you chewed up yeah we can put that one in
put that one in there good job
here shake that in there smells like fall did you put some vanilla
a little pinch of sea salt I should do like a tablespoon now okay one more
that's the cutest pinch of salt I've ever seen okay a little vanilla thank you
tea latte is the bomb I'm gonna bring this to the stove and just gonna boil it all together mash up
the banana and I think it takes about 15 minutes probably like 20 minutes because of the quinoa
by the way my oven is the wrong time the power went off last night and
it says it's two o'clock in the afternoon it is not okay we gotta mash up this banana
foreign
it's done look at how creamy and delicious that is
and honestly the red quinoa adds like a nice crunch to it so it's not like too um
you're gonna you're gonna fall I'm gonna plate it on my toppings and then eat because I'm starving
I added chopped pecans apples chia seeds and then a little bit more of the coconut
milk on top I'm gonna probably add some more cinnamon and then you can sweeten it
more if you want with maple syrup that's really yummy too and breakfast is good
and a little maple syrup Sage is tearing down all my fall decor it was only a matter of time
the apples on it give it such a nice crunch
I'm telling you if you have not tried quinoa in your oatmeal yet
give it a go let me know how you like it
and I'm gonna enjoy this
I feel like I'm still in Portugal I was at the grocery store and I was craving some prosciutto
and huh Chloe and I were saying Chloe's here by the way Chloe and I were like this
wrapped around cantaloupe this on Pizza this in a pound stick pre-lunch snack I'm actually
really excited I'm making a warm grain salad I got some Pharaoh which I just finished cooking
up actually Chloe cooked it up and I am gonna make just like a kale salad I was gonna put
dried cranberries in it but Matt apparently snacked on all of them which is fine I just
didn't know he was probably trying to snack on them instead of candy but I'm gonna do dates
instead which I think is actually going to be even tastier so these are going to give it like
a nice gooey sweet texture in the salad and this salad is basically like anything you want it to be
you have your green you have a hearty green which I'm doing kale you could also do like
cabbage or you could do like a softer green like arugula and then I'm just adding some goat cheese
um something sweet some maybe some nuts and seeds and then a simple vinaigrette dressing and this
is like a salad you can meal prep for the week and just have in the fridge because it's not going to
go soggy if you guys want me to do like a full like recipe on it let me know but it's kind of
just like DIY okay I'm gonna get the ingredients out and then we shall assemble it's like really
quick and the only cooking part is the grains which you can just do a big batch of and then
have it for other things too or just for the salad I have some kale that like needs to get used up
the Pharaoh not gonna lie probably could have
cooked a little bit more Pharaoh but it's fine chop the dates
added some goat cheese I'm gonna chop up some almonds and then we'll make the dressing
a little Dijon salt pepper and now we shake it
and then we get my favorite new solitons that I stole from my
Grandma's Kitchen no she gave it to me but I'm gonna give everything a toss
and this is just like a complete meal in the salad you got your greens you got your healthy fats
Your Greens everything all in one all right let's do a taste test a little bit of everything you
got the crunch from the almonds you've got the sweetness and like gooey texture from the dates
okay
um it tastes like a sweet green salad mmm
this might be my new favorite salad the dates how many times I'll get you
a good bite is your goat cheese in there yeah okay
okay she's taking a bite
right the olive oil yeah it's the olive oil from Portugal
I was so in the dates though I forgot to add in the roasted sweet potato
we had some leftover from our Sunday roast okay hang on that this will be good with it
uh almonds goat cheese dates a pharaoh which is like a green pill I made a
simple balsamic vinaigrette and then the pumpkin or the sweet potato okay
let's try it Matt gives it gives me the real okay
best seller you've ever had no but it's a good salad I mean the best salad would have like
bacon you know what I mean like come on I like that I know the dressing is good
so I'm starting dinner early because if I want Sage to actually eat what we're eating
for dinner I have to do it early because she eats around like 5 36 and that's usually what
I think about what I'm gonna have for dinner so it's nice because I've been like trying to prep
ahead and then it just makes like the evenings run smoother especially if it's something that's going
to cook for a little bit like something that I'm just roasting in the oven or in this case
I actually am making my chili from my cookbook which is a best seller if you have not picked up
a copy yet I'll link it down below there's over 130 recipes in it recipes for the entire family
there's gluten-free vegetarian vegan there's even a meal prep guide and a four week meal plan built
into it and there is honestly so many delicious recipes look at this chili does that not look
delicious this is my Quickie turkey chili It's on page 165. I'm actually gonna do uh just ground
beef today you can switch up with whatever you want you can even do some crumbled tofu if you
want want to make it vegetarian and I'm telling you it is like the best chili you will ever try
there's a couple secret ingredients in it that just bring it to the next bring it to the next
level I don't know why I'm doing this chef's kiss so there's quite a bit of ingredients most of them
are spices to be honest but it is Veggie packed so this is going to be great for the whole family
I haven't made this for sage yet and I think she's gonna really enjoy it then I'm also making
where is it I haven't made this recipe in so long it's my everyday nut and Seed loaf
this is what it looks like such a pretty photo and it is gluten-free it's meal prep friendly
and I thought it's gonna it's not cornbread but I thought it's gonna give you that like cornbread
chili Vibe because we're gonna have it on the side with the chili and it's gonna be delicious so
um the base of it is like almond flour flaxseed coconut flour I'm honestly only a few ingredients
with a touch of honey and it just bakes up kind of like a banana bread it's healthy bread that
you make at home you can toast this put a little bit of butter on it or eat it with like a chili
or like something hearty like a stew you could even put jam on it like it can be sweet or savory
Pro tip if you take a wet
tea towel and put it underneath your cutting board it'll stop it from sliding around
this is great because I'm just using up like a lot of the stuff I have on hand
I had to get a couple of ingredients for this recipe but a lot of it are just kind
of like Pantry Staples black beans kidney beans tomatoes crushed tomatoes foreign
foreign
thank you when I'm telling you squeezy tomato paste is where it's at
gotta have lots of spices for good chili I'm curious comment down below what your most used
spices I feel like mine's cinnamon but for Savory I would say kind of looks like cumin I use cumin a
lot is that a weird one get everything nice and coated in the seasoning and then we'll add in
all the white ingredients I'm hoping this isn't too spicy for sage but I don't think it will be
add in our stock okay I had some leftover canned tomatoes so I'm gonna use those up frozen corn
okay I got my sous chef with me and my Sue Baker today and we're gonna make the nut and Seed loaf
maybe move some of these
it's kind of just like a dumpster and bake recipe okay so we're gonna add in the almond flour yes
I've got coconut flour
baking powder and sea salt that's really good I'm telling you you're young with
them and slowly they pick up mix mix mix we're gonna add that in a second
we're gonna I'm gonna use this guy yeah it's just like there's more ingredients
oh she wanted she knew that first one I think there's a shell in there okay like this get this
definitely a shot on that it's gonna be a crunchy bread mix
I don't want to fix her hot potato so it's gonna be a thicker batter not like a dough
now we gotta do this ankle sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle she's getting so much better
at cooking with me it's really cool to see her progress so this is gonna bake in the oven mommy's
just patting them in and oh it's gonna go in the oven and this will probably be ready by the time
the Chili's ready chili is looking so good I'm gonna plate some for sage now so it can cool Matt
just went to CrossFit so we're probably gonna eat a little bit later we've been really good
at all eating together for dinner um but today Sage did not nap so she's gonna have her dinner
a little earlier if you watch my video on tips for picky eaters and how to get your kids to actually
eat what's on their plate you'll know about the safe food sage has had chili before see sage has
had chili before but not this particular one so just to play it safe I'm gonna add her favorite
strawberries on the side and also because they're delicious and nutritious you're stepping on my
all right Sage's dinner so she's gonna eat before us like I said
so I'm gonna take out more from the pot for stage to have her leftovers tomorrow and then I'm gonna
salt it a little bit more because I feel like you could have a little bit more salt dinnertime Sage
keep playing the tortillas
okay we're just running around the house like a maniac of stage she
wants us to chase her okay bread is done okay that's what it looks like I'll get
a close-up okay that's what it looks like see how much it's puffed up Chloe
always goes for the strawberries first
hi hi
oh lovely
you did it
perfectly cooked I'm telling you this is so good with just butter
on it or chili in this case but it's uh still kind of hot but I'm gonna
see if Sage will eat some because she ain't really touching her chili
she's going like but it's not hot so I gave her some of the bread dipped in chili
dip dip dip I'm gonna take a bite of the bread
