From time to time I'd love to share my favorite healthy recipes.  I choose recipes I know the entire family will love.  I look for quick, easy, simple ingredients so I don't have to spend a lifetime in my kitchen.  I also look for new and interesting foods to try.  I wanted to incorporate  vegetarian fare into my routine for the simple reason it saves money, it's quick, and healthy.  I could get my spinach in and it called for soy crumbles something I hadn't tried.  My family loved! it and had no idea they were eating so healthy.  I'm making this again this week.  Do you have a  favorite healthy meal?
