6 Organic Dishes that will Surely Delight

Monday, February 06, 2017



Eating healthy is not an option or luxury but a basic necessity for a healthy family. Some moms think that organic dishes are expensive but it is simply not true. There are many organic delicious dishes you can make for the family affordably and organic dishes do not have to necessarily be vegan. You can feature eggs, meat and cheese that are produced organically. Here are a few recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner to get you started.

Organic breakfast

Fontina is a semi-firm cow’s milk cheese with fine melting quality.  It is a classic Italian cheese with a nutty flavor. You can make the bell pepper omelet with your fresh herbs and mushroom.
You can substitute the Fontina with Gouda or Provolone cheese.  If you want a lower pack of proteins to consider substituting the 4 eggs with one cup of egg substitute.
