your kids eat what?

Oh, yeah, beans... and cilantro!
I made this Three Bean Chili the other evening, and although I felt like Aliyah finished her bowl just to make me happy, it really hit the spot for me. Good ol' dried beans are nothing like the canned version at all!
So I wasn't sure about the chili, but this dd sure liked the rest of what's on her plate. The half pita pocket was loaded with garlic tomato basil hummus and lettuce. Organic mangoes were on sale at Whole Foods so I got half a dozen of them.


These are some of the fun things Aliyah found in my recycled Whole Foods bags on shopping day: Barbara's Snackimals animal cookies, Whole Kids organic raisins, Natural Ovens bagels and organic mangoes. Okay, so the books weren't in the WF bags, but I'm telling you, she snacks on these all day long. Flavor of the month: Childhood of Famous Americans; Renewed interest: Chronicles of Narnia
And let's not forget about the brownies. I used Wonderslim fat replacer and Bob's Red Mill egg replacer, and the kids like it better than good ol' brownies.

Ooh good, you live by a Whole Foods! Soup looks great and I have to look at all the rest you have here! I responded to your question on my page (just letting you know, and it's super-long, make sure you have the time).
