"Learning to Love Veggies" Tip
This is a great recipe to help your children learn to love spinach! The spinach flavor and texture is well hidden in these Spinach & Turkey Roll Ups although kids can still see that this leafy green is inside. Have your child help prep the roll ups, first they can spread the cream cheese on a large tortilla, then top with spinach and turkey, and roll it up!

It officially feels like winter here in Minnesota and this chilly weather has me craving seasonal comfort food. We always like to pack extra veggies into meals here at Veggie Buds Club so I hope you enjoy this tasty spin on quiche... use shredded sweet potato crust ! I chose to fill my quiche with wild rice, fresh spinach, bacon, and goat cheese but quiche is such a versatile meal, feel free to omit or add a wide variety of veggies, meat, and cheese.

Nice cream is all the rage in our house! My kids love it and I love that it’s just fruit. But did you know you can also throw in some veggies?! Frozen zucchini adds a creamy texture with no real taste and spinach makes it a pretty green color. Add some mint extract and mini chocolate chips and it tastes just like Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream... seriously! Give it a try and lettuce know what you think!

These Mini Pepper Pizza Poppers are sure to be a hit! Feel free to customize the pepper stuffing as you please: you can leave out the spinach or add extra chopped or shredded veggies like carrots or zucchini. Topping the “pizzas” is a great way to let your little chefs get involved and add what they’d like on top of each pepper. Also, if you want to make this dish dairy-free, feel free to use a cheese alternative or leave out the cheese entirely. It will still taste great!

If you asked me to list off 5 foods that ideally everyone would eat every day tomatoes would be on that list! They are packed with incredible nutrition such as vitamin C which supports our immune system and increases iron absorption as well as lycopene, an antioxidant that helps reduce the risk of cancer. You can imagine my excitement when I learned that August is TOMATO month at Veggie Buds Club! I hope this month your little ones enjoy trying tomatoes in all sorts of ways including the fun and easy bruschetta recipes below! All three recipes only have 3 ingredients so getting your children involved will be super easy! Peach BruschettaMix together 1 diced peach, 8-10 diced cherry tomatoes, and 1-2 tablespoons of hemp hearts. Add to your favorite whole grain crusty bread and serve! Feta BruschettaMix together 1 cup of Tomberries, 10 pieces of thinly cut baby spinach, and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. Add to your favorite whole grain crusty bread and serve! Cucumber BruschettaGrate one large tomato and spread onto your favorite whole grain crusty bread. Add a slice of cucumber and a sprinkle of shredded or grated Parmesan cheese and serve!
