Modifications:
I used almond milk.  For the yogurt sauce I used regular yogurt with 2 T of vanilla instead of the milk.

Succotash-Cheddar Casserole with Crunchy Bacon Topping
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/succotash-cheddar-casserole-with-crunchy-bacon-topping

Modifications:
I used full fat milk, cheese, and crackers, but used the reduced sodium version of the crackers and bacon.

Gramzie's Spinach Layer Casserole:
4 oz wide egg noodles (whole wheat work just fine)
1 lb ground beef
1 15 oz can of tomato sauce (I use the organic)
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 8 oz package of cream cheese
1/2 c sour cream
3 T milk
1/8 tsp onion powder
1 10 oz package of frozen, chopped spinach (drained)
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Cook and drain the pasta.  Brown the meat in a skillet.  Drain off fat and add the tomato sauce, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and noodles to the meat.  Stir and set aside.  Mix together softened cream cheese, sour cream, milk, and onion powder.  In a 2 quart casserole dish, layer half the ground beef/noodle mixture, half the cream cheese mixture (spread across), and all the spinach.  Top with the other half of the ground beef/noodle mixture.  Cover and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.  Uncover and spread remaining cream cheese mixture on top, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.  Bake 10 minutes more, or until cheese is bubbly.

Modifications:
I used whole oats (not quick oats), just pulverized in the blender. I used natural peanut butter instead of almond butter. I used 2 T cocoa instead of chocolate chips.

BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese roll-ups:
Adapted from http://easytoddlermeals.com/2015/04/broccoli-cheese-roll-ups/

So it's the exact same recipe as above, just sub the crockpot BBQ chicken (from 3 meals: 5/20/15) for the broccoli. SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD.

Sandwiches and Wraps

Basic Egg Salad:
Boil 6 eggs.  Once cool, peel and chop.  Mix in 1/2 c greek yogurt and 1-2 T of mayo (for flavor).  Finely chop any veggies you have on hand (onion, bell pepper, celery, etc).  Season as you like (I usually do some garlic powder and onion flakes).

PB&J Tortilla Rolls
Spread peanut butter on a tortilla.  Top with jelly (I like to make my own blueberry preserves or strawberry chia jam).  Roll tightly and slice in 1/2 inch segments (It will slice better if you refrigerate a bit first).

Banana Roll-ups/Banana Sushi
Spread nut butter on a tortilla.  Place a whole banana on the edge of one side and roll up.  Slice in 1/2 inch segments.

Avocado Pinwheels
Spread cream cheese on a tortilla.  Top with mashed avocado and finely torn greens.  Add veggies or meat as you wish.  Roll tightly, wrap in foil, and place in fridge for 30 minutes.  Slice in 1/2 inch segments.

Avocado egg salad

4 eggs
1/2 an avocado, mashed
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 T mustard
1 T mayo or greek yogurt
1 T garlic powder

Boil eggs. Peel and dice.  When cool, mash eggs with remaining ingredients.  Tastes best when cold from the fridge.

Tortilla pizza

Spread tortilla with tomato sauce (canned/jarred/homemade- it's a great way to use up veggie purees).  Top with cheese and finely chopped veggies.  Place in the oven on a cookie sheet with the broiler on high.  Remove when the cheese is melted and bubbly (between 5-10 minutes).
