Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta

March 23, 2016April 7, 2016 Melissa King 4 Comments

We went to Disney World a few weeks ago. Before we left, Marcus made this delicious Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta to help use up some of the stuff in the pantry. I am not really a pasta person myself, but I thought this was awesome! We used gluten free brown rice pasta, but I am sure any pasta will work. If you love easy dinner ideas check out this post too. Some of Marcus’s other creations have been the sweet potato chili and the peanut noodle stir fry.

This Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta doesn’t take long at all to make. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I have a new breakfast cookie recipe for you today. These Muesli Breakfast Cookies are sure to please. They have no added sugar, and you only need 4 ingredients to make them.

Perfect for kids. If you are on the lookout for more healthy breakfast recipes, you can try this and also this.

I used Bob’s Red Mill’s gluten free muesli for these healthy muesli breakfast cookies. It’s packed full of yummy ingredients like gluten free oats, coconut flakes, almonds, dried apples, pumpkin seeds and more.

These are very hearty and filling, so they will hold you over until lunchtime.

Do you love Snickerdoodles? If so, you will love these kid friendly Snickerdoodle Pancakes! These pancakes aren’t just kid friendly, they come with a boost of protein and fiber thanks to a special ingredient.

The special ingredient in these healthy pancakes is chickpea flour. Chickpeas fall under the term pulses. Other foods in the pulse category are: lentils, beans and peas. Did you know that the UN declared 2016 the International Year of the Pulses? You may ask, why does the UN care about pulses? Let me tell you all about it!

Oat Bran Muffins (Vegan, Gluten Free)

I have some Oat Bran Muffins for you to try! I have been making bran muffins for years. However, the recipe I use is not gluten free. It calls for spelt flour.

So this week, I tweaked it a bit to make it gluten free. The result was delicious and my 6 year old LOVED them. I hope you love them too.

Not only is this recipe vegan and gluten free, but it can easily be made nut free if you just swap out the almond milk for another nut free milk.
