Have you ever made savory muffins? They are a fun and delicious way to get veggies into your day! Broccoli can be a little tricky for small hands to chop, so have your child help break apart the florets then practice sawing back and forth to trim the broccoli “leaves” off the “tree.” Chop the broccoli alongside your little chef and if he or she gets tired of cutting, your child can always help transfer the chopped broccoli to a measuring cup. Kids will also love to help by cracking the eggs, measuring the ingredients, and mixing everything all together. Enjoy! This recipe was developed by Heather Staller, a mom of two boys, ages 6 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.

It works as a meal side when sautéed, a pasta alternative when spiralized, a nutrient density booster in "zoats", and a variety of baked goods. One of our family's favorite recipes that includes zucchinis is for Peanut Butter Oatmeal Coconut Cookies. These cookies are packed with nutrition from zucchini, pumpkin seeds, oats, and more! They are free of milk, eggs, refined sugar, and flour which means they are safe for Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free diets. And for anyone with a peanut or legume allergy, the peanut butter can be replaced with Almond Butter, WowButter, or SunButter. We hope you enjoy the recipe, and be sure to check out a few "Kids in the Kitchen" tips at the bottom for times when your children help you make them!

Kids in the Kitchen Learning NotesI always love to include a learning component for my children when we make a recipe. While making this recipe my son and I talked about the letter Z, the color green (and also yellow since some zucchinis are yellow), the texture difference between whole and shredded zucchini, and we practiced numbers by counting the ingredients as we added them in. Want your kids to eat more veggies?We are excited to bring you this month's post from Katie Blauser, the creator of Eat Pretty Darling. Each month on our blog we feature a "Color of the Week" that corresponds with Veggie Buds Club's veggie of the month. July's veggie is ZUCCHINI so we're focusing on YELLOW veggies this month! Katie Blauser is the mama of two boys, wife of a picky eater, and food lover at Eat Pretty Darling. She believes in making food fun, healthy, & pretty! Katie’s not only outnumbered by boys in her little family, but also by picky eaters. She loves trying to find new ways to get both kids and adults to eat healthy while making food pretty yummy, pretty healthy, and pretty fun! Find Katie on Instagram (@eatprettydarling), where she shares colorful and cute food ideas for both picky and adventurous eaters. Color of the Week - YELLOWSo you might be thinking, why is the color of the week yellow when zucchini are most definitely green? Zucchini are yellow inside! Sometimes the insides of fruits and veggies are the prettiest part. Think of all the fun produce that can fit more than one category! We think of kiwi as green although they are brown on the outside. This week we rounded up yellow squash, lemons, bananas, and of course zucchini. Zucchini is one of those awesome veggies that can be turned into just about anything! One of our favorite ways to eat it is in our baked goods. We all know that yummy zucchini bread, but add in a few other ingredients and you have a new twist on an old favorite!

This cookie dough has the brightest magenta color. Unfortunately, the color does fade when baked so make sure to add the beet to the blender together with your children to celebrate the beautiful color it creates.
