I'm sure there's a few things we all have in common as parents-we're always busy, and we want to give our family healthy food. I am always on a mission to balance healthy and simplicity when it comes to dinner planning. I am vegan, my husband is an omnivore, and the Mini Mac-well it all depends on his mood that day. So the challenge every day is to find something we will all eat. But on a Wednesday evening, after my husband and I have worked all day and the Mini Mac has gone to school followed by swim lessons-options are usually limited.
I recently discovered The Leaf And Seed, a local meal service run by Susan Herhold. I was so excited to read the online menu-something for every one.
Everything on her menu is homemade and plant based. Trust me, it's so much more than just vegetables! For my first order, I got the pancakes and the lasagna.
The pancakes, served with a mixed berry compote, was the perfect Sunday morning treat.
The lasagna, with it's tofu ricotta and mushrooms, was the easiest way to fill up every one's belly on a crazy weekday evening. It came with a beautiful salad with homemade dressing and garlic bread.
My next order will definitely include the cinnamon rolls and buffalo chickpea dip!
To order, check out The Leaf and Seed website for instructions. The menu changes monthly, so check back often!
