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. December's theme is "Root Veggies Rule!", and we're having fun this month by celebrating PURPLE veggies in a yummy and kid-approved Purple Veggie Platter. 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 - PurpleThis week is all about PURPLE! The neat thing is, some of the veggies we found had purple outside, but no purple to be found inside. We stuck to root veggies and the color purple and found some new things to try. We’ve been playing the matching game from Veggie Buds Club so much this month that my oldest knew exactly what to look for and their names! He had fun seeing the drawings come to life in real vegetables at the store. We gathered up Purple carrots, Turnips, Rutabaga, and Beets. I thought it would be a fun week to see how all of the varying vegetables taste different. We sampled each one on it’s own and talked about how they taste. We all agree beets taste like dirt! Turnips were kind of spicy, Carrots were sweet, and Rutabaga was like french fries. I served them with plain yogurt but my oldest also wanted to see what they tasted like with different dips so we later added ketchup and peanut butter.

Welcome to December, the theme for Veggie Buds Club is "Root Veggies Rule!". Root veggies are delicious, colorful, nutritious, and versatile, and we cannot wait to share yummy recipes and fun activities featuring root veggies this month! To get the ball rolling, please enjoy these delicious Root Veggie Latkes, this is the recipe that is featured in this month's Veggie Buds Club subscription box. 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. Teaching cooking combines both of her passions, and she truly enjoys introducing young children to the joys of cooking with fresh ingredients. Find Heather on Instagram (@heather_kidskitchen), where she shares inventive kid-friendly recipes and ideas for cooking with kids at home. Root Veggie LatkesTurn a bowl full of winter root veggies into crispy fritters to enjoy any time of day. Have your little chef help peel and grate the veggies, either by hand, with a box grater, or using a food processor. Crack the eggs together, then mix in a couple more ingredients and you are ready to cook. Top the veggie pancakes with a little Greek yogurt, sour cream, or even applesauce. If you have a French fry fan or potato lover, these are sure to be a hit! Ingredients
