In reply to Brenda. btw, they all ate the chicken and white bean chili, and declared it delicious. The personalised toppings helped them to enjoy it more I think. We also ate your garlic parmesan chick peas today, and loved them, even though chick peas aren't normally loved! My first i-herb order is on its way, so I can't wait to finally try all of your liquid stevia recipes!

In reply to Kat. Sounds like a smart idea and if it works for your family and they eat their veggies that's a win to me! thanks for sharing!

Chicken and white bean chili is in the slow cooker right now, and smelling delicious! Not sure how it will go down with the kids. THey’re not into beans and chick peas, but we’ll have a good go at it! Aprroximately twice a week, I cook up a big pot of plain vegetables to have with an easy meat. Last night it was sweet pot, button squash, broccoli and cauliflower with sausages. I find it so easy to cut up the vegies some time during the day and put them in the steaming basket, then just turn them on half an hour before dinner. Saves a lot of food prep during those difficult late afternoon times with little children. I am thankful that my children will eat all their vegetables (at least with some tomato or cheese sauce if they don’t like it much), and it’s just a simple mash and the baby has food too. Maybe it’s a little boring, but I love how healthy, good and simple it is!
