Vegemite Pasta

This is the fall-back meal in our house. 

It's a very simple thing, that I have made very adult and complicated, lol. 

Read on though. I'll tell you how to get the toddler to eat it.

First, I fried up one of those big boxes of fresh mushrooms with Bertolli olive oil in my big skillet, and alongside started the water to boil for the noodles. Once mushrooms started to look about done I added frozen broccoli and cooked those until they were mostly defrosted but not done, then added a can of Tuttoroso chopped tomatoes, two cups of kidney beans, some turmeric tofu I had pressed, Vegemite, margarine and the Colavita noodles.

This is much too fancy for my son. He doesn't like mushrooms or broccoli, lol. 

Selfish mommy. 

The Zwerg takes his pasta more traditionally: 

Vegemite and Parkay Squeeze, kidney beans.

Sometimes tomatoes or roasted carrots. 

And of course homemade ketchup.

We used to do peas. Looks fancy. His eyes swelled up. 

Do I sound a bit like a brand-whore here? I never was; in fact I'm very frugal.

Very few companies label for sesame ingredients though.
The ingredients can say "spice", "oil", "natural flavor".

And even fewer companies warn of cross contamination. 

My son has multiple allergies. The most challenging one is sesame.
