About Foodie Mommies

I got the idea for Foodie Mommies almost a year ago. It started out as a hashtag #FoodieMommies , between a friend and myself on Facebook. Every time I wanted to share one of those Facebook cooking/recipe videos I would tag her and add in that hashtag.

Eventually, with having kids and many friends online the #FoodieMommies posts would get pushed down.
I decided to create a Facebook group dedicated for these recipe posts. I also share other recipe links and some Mommy related Life Hacks and activities for the kids.

Right now, though, this blog is going to be dedicated to just the Recipe portion of Foodie Mommies.

I hope you enjoy!

Rice...soup?

Image
Made another soup. Not sure what to call it, but my daughter is eating it. Yay! It was inspired by the Sample Guy at Kroger. Honestly. I don't know what they were calling it. They made a "sauce" that had chicken, Rotel and refried beans and put it over rice. So I got those packages of rice that cooks up in 90 seconds (2 of them) 1 can of Rotel 1 can of Refried beans 2 cans of chicken (optional, can use left over chicken or beef or cook up fresh - you can leave it out too) Then I took the left overs, put them in a pot and added in broth. Add as much broth as you want. Ta-da! You can add any meat or leave it out. You can use old rice or make instant. Add in any other veggies you want. Eat as is or serve with crackers.  The kid liked it.

Veggie Sushi (with fresh green beans) {Vegan}

Image
Green beans were on sale the other day. I decided to buy them, but had no idea what I was going to do with them. Then an idea šŸ’”popped into my head. Well, several - I was rather hungry. I wanted either sushi, stir-fry or potato wedges for dinner. I decided on homemade sushi. šŸ£ It was a big hit! ā¤ I steamed the green beans until they were tender. I let them boil for a few minutes until they had a slight bite to them. Then I turned off the heat and covered the pot with a lid and just let them cool that way (decided to give my daughter a bath to pass the time). I made the sushi rice according to the package. I made 2 cups of rice. I made roughly 7 rolls I believe. I put the green beans in a bowl and added a splash of soy sauce, sprinkle of ground ginger powder and garlic powder. Was a nice quick marinade. In the Rolls: Green beans, steamed Cucumber, sliced thin Carrots, shredded Avocado, sliced In the Rice: drizzle of sesame oil (2 tsp) maple syrup (2 tsp) ...

Cashew Mac n Cheez {Vegan}

Image
So far I have made potato and carrot cheez sauce, winter squash cheez sauce, one with beans in it  and just got around to making cashew cheez sauce. I feel like my favorite version is the cashew so far. I have heard that using a raw cashew butter can replace raw cashews and having to blend them. I don't know the ratio and I haven't tried this version. The cashew butters near me are pricey and buying a pound of raw cashews is cheaper and I have had success with using them. I have seen several versions on YouTube and recently found this one from a few yeas back on Ingrid's channel! I tweaked it a little bit. I also don't have a fancy high speed blender. This is part of the reason why I have been hesitant to test it out. Many recipes will tell you to soak them for 30 minutes to a few hours or even overnight. If you have a high speed blender, blend away. But I was advised to boil the cashews for about 10 to 15 minutes, drain and rinse them. I ended up bo...
