Yes, that's right. These are fruit and veggie muffins made with fruits and vegetables to help you reach your daily requirement! Shredded carrots, applesauce and bananas make these tasty muffins high in nutrients and fiber. You could also toss in some shredded zucchini and raisins to add even more nutrients!

Wild Rice Pilaf

Sunday March 31, 2013

Wild Rice Pilaf

I am always looking  for more ways to add vegetables to my family's diet. Lately I've been making more vegetable smoothies to do the trick. Other times I hide vegetables in every dish I can! This wild rice pilaf is a good example. Lots of chopped vegetables along with the high fiber wild and brown rice make for a highly nutritious side dish.
