Chocolate and cauliflower? Yes, please! Frozen cauliflower makes smoothies thick and creamy but you don’t taste it at all. Make sure to have kids add the cauliflower to the blender along with the other ingredients so they know the veggie is in there. The taste and texture of steamed and frozen whole florets is best but you can also use frozen riced cauliflower in this recipe. March is all about the cauliflower at Veggie Buds Club! This delicious recipe is one of the cauliflower recipes included in this month's box. It was developed by Heather Staller, a mom of two boys, ages 5 and 3, and cooking instructor specializing in bringing cooking into preschool classrooms. After college, Heather knew she wanted to be a teacher, but first followed her lifelong dream of going to culinary school. Teaching cooking combines both of her passions, and she truly enjoys introducing young children to the joys of cooking with fresh ingredients.

We limit the screen time in our home but every once in a while we plan for a fun family movie time. With the dangers for children of choking on popcorn I decided to try a new route for our movie snack and it has been a huge hit with my kids and is truly packed with nutrition. Here is the recipe if you want to try it with your little ones sometime soon. Cauliflower PopcornIngredients
Instructions
Kids in the Kitchen Learning NotesWhile making this popcorn you can use it as a teaching moment with your children. You can talk to them about the letter P for POPCORN, the color WHITE, and how the cauliflower starts out CRUNCHY and ends up SOFT. And if your child is an apprehensive eater then they may be more interested in trying this new food after they have prepared it as opposed to just seeing it on their plate. There is never a shortage of fun learning to be had when Kids are in the Kitchen!

They can break the cauliflower into pieces, crack eggs, measure the ingredients, and shake, shake, shake those cauliflower florets in the yummy breadcrumb mixture. Serve the crunchy veggies as a side dish or snack with your favorite dip. Shake 'n' Bake CauliflowerIngredients
-1 head cauliflower, cut into medium size florets -2 eggs (or egg replacer powder or flax meal with additional milk or water) -¼ cup milk -1 ½ cup whole wheat or regular Panko breadcrumbs (or substitute gluten free breadcrumbs) -¾ cup cornmeal -1 teaspoon salt -1 teaspoon garlic powder -½ teaspoon paprika -1 tablespoon oil Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil. 2. Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk, and whisk with a fork to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. 3. In a large zip-top bag (or in a large bowl), add breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Shake bag around a little to combine then drizzle oil over mixture and shake again. 4. Set up an “assembly line” with cauliflower florets, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture in a row in that order. Working with a few florets at a time, dip cauliflower into the egg mixture, let the excess drip off, then place into the breadcrumbs. Once you have done 4 to 5 pieces of cauliflower, seal the bag well then shake to coat the cauliflower in the crumbs. Open bag then place each piece of coated cauliflower on the baking sheet. 5. Bake cauliflower until crunchy and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. |
