broccoli risotto (from Moosewood, Simple Supers cook book)
lentils & rice w/caramelized onions
The recipes are mostly found on Epicurious.com. The lentils and rice dish is a traditional Lebanese recipe, which I am altering with caramelized onions instead of crispy fried ones. The broccoli risotto is from Moosewood's Simple Suppers.
Our family has dairy issues, so we substitute goat butter and either goat cheese or sheep's cheese for the dairy versions.
We will be using the fruit as snacks and/or dessert. The avocados will be added to eggs, salads and maybe just to some toast with mayo, cheese and sea salt for a tasty sandwich.

Wish me luck with these new recipes! Hopefully the kids will enjoy some new flavors.
