Sweet Potato Fries

Peel and cut sweet potatoes (1 potato per person being served) into strips and spread them on a baking sheet. Lightly salt and spray with canola oil. I also often like to sprinkle some cajun seasoning on them. Bake in the oven 400 degrees for 20 minutes.


Great snack for kids.

Breaded and Baked Zucchini

2 medium zucchini, sliced about half an inch thick
1 egg or egg replacer
3/4 cup breadcrumbs (I've also used cornmeal mixed with chia seeds and/or flaxseed meal)
salt
spray canola oil

Dip each piece of zucchini in egg and then cover with the breadcrumbs and place on a cooking pan (either nonstick or spray first with canola oil.) After all the pieces are on the pan lightly salt and spray with canola oil. Cook at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

My three year old and her friends gobble these up.

Sweet Guacamole

1 ripe banana
1 ripe avocado
salt

Mash the banana and avocado together and salt to taste. I like this spread on romaine lettuce leaves. Also works great as baby food.

Lima Bean Snack

1 bag dry lima beans
butter (or butter substitute)
dill, salt, pepper


1. Soak the beans overnight.
2. Cook in a crock pot on high for 6 hours.
3. Strain, then lightly butter and add salt, basil, and dill to taste.



Tastes like little bites of mashed potato. Yum.
