Chicken with Tangerines

1 serving

Salty and sweet is what this is about. There is very little prep and this simple dish is easy for kids to eat during a quick snack time.

1 oz. of chicken breast

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 tangerine

Cut up chicken into bite size pieces

Place in a container with the soy sauce and refrigerate overnight

Separate the tangerine into segments and cut each one in half

Add the tangerine parts to the chicken in the container and mix

Turkey Wraps

Serves 2

To give a child a recharge after several hours of school, a dose of protein can really help. My thought was to make a turkey wrap with veggie cream cheese, but substitute the cream cheese with 2% Greek yogurt.

2 slices of deli turkey

1 single serving of plain Greek yogurt 2%

2 small carrots diced

1 scallion thinly sliced

¼ red pepper diced

salt and pepper to taste

Strain yogurt and make sure to get all of the extra liquid

Mix vegetables into the yogurt

Add salt and pepper to taste

Spread yogurt mixture on to each slice of turkey, enough to cover, but not too thick

Start at one short end and roll all the way up

Do the same with the other turkey slice

Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate

Slice in the morning and secure with toothpick if needed

Deviled Eggs

6 servings

Eggs sometimes get a bad rap. People worry about Cholesterol that the yolks have. Lately, they have been saved from that label. I have added some goat cheese to this recipe. There is a concern out there that cow’s milk cheese is harder for young children to digest than goat cheese. Don’t be surprised when you see the sweetness added. Kids are not always partial to the tart flavor of goat cheese.

3 eggs

3 tps. Mayonnaise

2 tps. Dijon mustard

1 oz. goat cheese

1 ½ teaspoons agave nectar

salt and pepper to taste

Put eggs in a pot and cover with cold water so their completely submerged

Turn on the stovetop to high heat and wait til they come to a rapid boil

Remove from heat and cover for exactly 12 minutes

Remove eggs from the pot and put them into cold water for 5 minutes

Peel and slice each egg in halve lengthwise

Remove the yolks with a spoon into a mixing bowl

Add mayo, mustard, agave and goat cheese to bowl

Mash all together with a fork and whip until smooth

Season with salt and pepper to taste

Refrigerate for an hour
