Even though kids drive you crazy when it comes to their favorite food, as a parent we always have to make sure to feed them healthy and nutritious food.

Adults aren’t very different either and when it comes to going back to school all ages want the tastiest food ever……because……we are all stressed.

Because…..we have to complete our homework……prepare for semester……perform outstanding…..most of all we don’t have time to cook…… and so on……as a consequence…… fat loaded unhealthy eating becomes an excuse.

But can we just take out 15 minutes of our day to pack our lunches and fix our breakfast to be healthy?

I am sure we all can ….it’s up all there in our minds. So, keeping all these thoughts in my mind and experiencing a preschooler’s fussy attitude for food I came up with Tofu Red Chard Scramble Sandwich.

It’s a winner …..Trust me……make it once and you will come back again and again…. 🙂

This recipe is cooked in such a way that red chard is completely camouflaged, infusing a vibrant color enhancing its appeal quotient…..the only secret is…..don’t mention the ingredients……:)

I used my food processor to finely chop the red chard leaves, so it’s easy to hide in the sandwich, but when I make this sandwich for myself I just chop with my knife because I love anything healthy.
