Follow Your Heart Cheddar Vegan Snack for Kids!



This is a great little vegan snack take along that my grandson really enjoys!  Earth Island Cheddar is the only plant based cheese that he has approved! (He's 10) Anyhow it does have a nice texture and smell to it! He also likes this veggie slice the best - it's from Yves and its the Bologna. Add a few vegan crackers which are relatively easy to find on any store shelf and you've got yourself a winning combo that is kid approved!

Morning Grain Bowl: Sweet Potato Oatmeal



This is so delicious no need to eat it just in the morning! Great anytime of day or night! But for simplicity sake I'm just putting it under the Morning Grain Bowl category!  

Ingredients and Method:

1 cup of quick oats:  put into a large bowl and cover with boiling water!  Add as many raisins as you like. A dash of salt and cinnamon as well. Cover and let sit for about 20-30 minutes till water is absorbed.

For today's grain bowl :  Blend 1/2 cup mashed leftover sweet potatoes plus 2 dates, 1/2 cup organic mango peach juice and 1 tbsp. maple syrup! Mix this into the oat mixture along with 1 diced fresh or frozen banana.. Pour into an ovenproof dish. See my photo below for what I used. You can either line with parchment paper or grease lightly with coconut oil.

Put into oven at 375F for about 45 minutes! I used a toaster oven as mine is large enough for the typical size round cake pan (9" I believe).

While still warm scoop into a bowl. Top with more fresh sliced bananas and sprinkle with hemp seeds!  A drizzle of maple syrup and you're ready to enjoy the best ever bowl of baked oatmeal! so good!



You can let it cool and eat as slices later as it sets up when chilled.  Or reheat back to it's original out of the oven pudding texture! I like it both ways!
