SolBe Families,

Cans on Cans on Cans

What do we do with all those canned goods that we stocked up on last month? Here is a recipe, which uses the cans in your pantry to create a protein- and fiber-rich meal. Who doesn’t love a meal that costs less than five bucks, takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, and lasts for a week in the fridge?

White Bean and Artichoke Dip

  • 1 Can of cannellini beans (strained and rinsed)
  • 1 Can of artichokes (strained and rinsed)
  • 1 Handful of spinach 
  • 2 Cloves of garlic
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 
  • 3 Tbsp water 

Add beans, artichokes, spinach, and garlic in your food processor with “S” blade, or blender.

       

Gradually add olive oil and water as you blend on low. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

I love to eat this on a bed of greens with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, but you can use it as a dip with veggies, some warm naan or pita, or on a sandwich. *Shown here with capers, balsamic and black pepper. 

More resources to follow in the coming days. Feedback and more ideas welcome, as always! 

Be well and stay healthy!

The SolBe Team


Be Supported

We’ve felt the uncertainty that occurs when our children are in the care of someone else. At SolBe, we know you will always be your child’s first teacher; we’re here as a knowledgeable partner in your child’s education.

From our experience, children rise to the intellectual life of those around them, so we are committed to growing as individuals and as a team. You can count on us to provide a warm and engaging learning experience for your little one.

Be Inspired

We’ve spent thousands of hours in classrooms that either overstimulate, underwhelm, or actively prevent educators from delivering the highest-quality education and care. At SolBe, you’ll go beyond the traditional four-walled classroom.

Our award-winning, inventive and uplifting learning spaces stimulate the senses and instill feelings of home-like safety and comfort. They allow for your child’s, and our educators’, changing needs and emotions. They create room for wonder—for learning, and living, outside the lines.

Be Immersed

We’ve seen what’s lost when things are done the way they’ve always been done before. SolBe is an adaptive Spanish exposure program that refuses to accept the status quo.

Our inventive practices grow from the shoulders of giants, with roots in the Reggio Emilia approach, the Montessori method, and well-researched cognitive disciplines that attend to the whole child. We create opportunities to develop character attributes that your child will benefit from for a lifetime. Collaboration. Communication. Independence. Healthy risk-taking. Critical thinking. Emotional awareness. Resilience. Intellectual curiosity. Creative innovation. An authentic love of life and learning.

Be Well

We know what it’s like to forget to feed ourselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. At SolBe, we understand it’s impossible for you to pour from an empty cup. And we do what we can to keep your cup full.

Our learning ecosystem is designed with children and educators—and you—in mind. Seed-to-table nutrition program. Yoga and mindfulness. An all-inclusive experience so you don’t need to worry about finding time to provide meals, diapers, or wipes (unless you want to). Evening and weekend family programs.
