One of my favorite things... Mini LARABARS

I'm always on the look out for things that will make my life easier and thought I would share some of my favorite finds with you.

These Mini LARABARS are my favorite on-the-go snack! They are about 100 calories each, and 100% real food. Just as an example, the Cherry Pie Bar is made with dates, almonds and unsweetened cherries... and that's it... and they are yummy! I always keep a couple in my bag just in case one of my kids or I get hungry when we are out. I can't tell you how many times these have saved me!

I love these bars too. They are a perfect snack that you can feel 100% good about when eating it. I haven't seen the mini ones though. Where did you find them?

Debbie - Target is the only place I've found these. At my Target they are by the vitamin section near the pharmacy.

Licorice Lemonade

I am always on the lookout for good black licorice. It's one of those things that I like to have in my cupboards for when I need a little something sweet. I thought up this lemonade in attempts to use up the lemons on our tree and satisfy my love of licorice. And with the temperature here pushing 110 degrees Fahrenheit, an ice cold glass of anything, really hits the spot! Lemonade Starter Ingredients 2 1/2 cups water 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1 cup fresh lemon juice Directions 1. Mix water and sugar in a pot over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved and set aside to cool. 2. Once the water/sugar mixture has cooled, add remaining ingredients, and stir. 3. Store mixture, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Licorice Lemonade Ingredients 5 cups water 3 licorice herbal tea bags(I use the Stash Licorice Spice) Lemonade Starter lemon slices ice Directions 1. Boil 5 cups of water in a pot. 2. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Allow to steep fo

Chive And 'Cream Cheese' Smashed Red Potatoes

It seems that on every cooking competition on TV, pureed this, and foamed that, are all the rave. I don't get it. All I know is, as Moto Moto the Hippo from Madagascar says, "I like 'em chunky"... at least when it comes to potatoes... and babies. Here is one of my favorite ways to make them... potatoes, that is. Super easy and amazingly delicious! Ingredients 2 1/2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cubed water for boiling salt to taste 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 4 ounces Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese Directions 1. Boil the potatoes in a pot of water for 10-15 minutes or until they are tender. Check with a fork. 2. Drain the water and mix in the 'cream cheese', and chives and stir with a large spoon, breaking up the potatoes as you mix. You could use a potato masher, but like I said, "I like 'em chunky". 3. Salt to taste.

A Full Plate

This week, I have a very full plate. I am working on a few blog designs, teaching a cupcake decorating class (which I am sooooo not qualified to do), babysitting for my sis, taking my kids to pick pumpkins and then decorating them... and then all the usual stuff I do. Needless to say, it's bean burritos, oatmeal and take out here at The Veggie-Full Kitchen this week. So, instead of sharing one of my recipe's I thought I would refer everyone who lives in Southern Cali to Native Foods , to try Tanya's new Reuben. It is AMAZING! Just look at my little Sous-Chef.... he can recognize a good sandwich when he sees one... he just can't eat them yet. For those of you not in Southern California, here is a link to Chef Tanya's Blog where she shares some awesome recipes and more. Also, if you are in the market for a dynamite vegan cookbook , she's got one of those too.
