Put all in blender and puree to smooth!

When I first heard of this tip I thought it was crazy, a friend of mine said, "Use variety when you cook, make the plate colorful and pretty!" I had 4 kids and who had time to make a pretty plate. But, I did notice that when the plate was more colorful my kids did eat better. To make this a bit easier I bought all my fruits and veggies and cleaned all the ones I could ahead of time.
So, I clean my broccoli, cauliflower, celery, washed apples, pears, etc...then when I fix mealtime plates it is so easy to make it pretty and colorful. If we are eating a pasta dish (which is mainly white) I will put some broccoli on it along with a few slices of apple and tad-ah a perfectly pleasing plate! Having everything cut up and ready to go makes this process quick and easy especially for lunch.
I also try to vary texture and tastes! Like the example above the pasta is a softer texture, with a broccoli for crunch and apple for a touch of sweetness!
Menu planning also makes this tip even easier! If you have a menu all set up then you have everything you need to make your plates look appealing!

This quick and easy meal the entire family will love! It is super healthy and so easy to prepare, serve and clean up!
You will need:
A grill or oven
Tin Foil
Parchment paper- non bleached (if possible)
1 filet of white fish per person (WILD CAUGHT)
Green Beans- fresh or frozen about 6 per person
Organic Potatoes- sliced very thin- 6-10 per person
1 1/2 T. GF Tamari Soy Sauce
1/2 c. Olive Oil or Melted Coconut Oil
1 T. Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. Freshly grated lemon zest from an organic lemon
In a bowl combine: (Sauce mixture is enough for about 3 servings. I double it for 6 servings)
soy sauce, oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest- whisk together
Layer:
Lay out a piece of tin foil
Top it with a piece of parchment paper
Place a layer of potatoes (6-10: very thinly sliced)
(on top of potatoes) Place 6 or so green beans
Lay one filet of fish on top of the beans
Drizzle 1/4 of sauce mixture over the "stack"
Close up parchment to make a pouch, close tin foil around the parchment to keep it sealed.
Place each pouch on the grill or in a 350 degree oven for about 1/2 hour or until the fish flakes! Yummy! My kids love their little pouch of dinner. They open it up- usually add a bit more lemon and eat it right up! I love the clean up- no pots or pans to clean up!
Enjoy!
