Sometimes I think we over-complicate what healthy eating can be. We think we have to make these over-complicated meals from scratch with lots of herbs and spices and we need huge pantries of ingredients and I think it’s important to keep it real.
I’m a Mama (Nutritional Therapist) who loves to cook but I don’t have time to cook every day so I bulk cook and then look for super-easy quick meals when I’m not in the mood! In the winter, when it’s cold (even here in the Costa Rican mountains it gets chilly in the evening!), I rely a lot on soups and stews that I can reheat but I thought I would share my dinner this evening because I think children often prefer the simplicity of picky food and it doesn’t have to compromise on nutrients.

- Extra large tomatoes with mashed avocado, lemon and garlic with some broccoli sprouts on top
My daughter and I both ate exactly the same and she often prefers these kind of meals to the ones that take an hour to make!
