Zucchini And Meat In Tomato Stew

• 1 bag baby zucchini from Trader Joes, or ruffly 12 oz of small zucchini
• 1/2 ground meat a pound of, I always try to get organic
• carrot
• 1 medium tomato
• 1 teaspoon all-spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 pinch cinnamon powder
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 tomato paste hefty tablespoon of
• 1 can tomato sauce

1. Kiddo: Slice the zucchinis and dice the Tomatoes. Place the veggies in a bowl.
2. Parent: While your kiddo is slicing the zucchini, put the vegetable oil in a sauce pan, under medium-high heat. Place the meat in the pan.
3. Kiddo: Measure out the seasonings (salt, pepper, all spice, cinnamon) and place on top of the meat.
4. Parent: Saute meat till cooked/brown.
5. Kiddo: Once the meat is cooked, place the tomato paste into the pan with the meat, and mix/saute together for 1-2 minutes.
6. Kiddo: While your parent is stirring everything around add the can of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, 1/2 can of water, the carrot (cut in half) and the Zucchini slices
7. Parent + kiddo: Taste it to see if you want to add a little more salt, you typically want to add anywhere between 1/2 teaspoon to a whole teaspoon of salt. Stir and wait till it boils.
8. When it boils, put the lid on it and let it simmer for 50 minutes. Take out the Carrot before serving, the carrot is there to help take away any acidity from the tomatoes and to help sweeten the sauce a little.
9. Once it is finished, serve with rice or pasta. And if you are eating it with rice, try having some plain non-fat yogurt on the side with it :).
