Vegetable

If you look back at my recipes, you’d probably think I only eat baked-goods. Seriously. I have a problem. But seriously, I eat a lot of vegetables too. They just usually aren’t as interesting to blog about. I changed my mind when I made this shaved asparagus salad the other day.

In the fall and winter, I love to make a lot of casserole dishes because they are warm, filling, and can last throughout the week. My kids love pasta and I’m trying to sneak more veggies into their diet whenever I can. That’s where this roasted Mediterranean vegetable baked ziti comes in.

Remember as a kid, when you thought Brussels sprouts were totally disgusting? Well, at least I did. I remember watching cartoons and tv shows as a kid, they’d talk about how disgusting Brussels are. Then I grew up, learned how to roast them to perfection, and realized Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. I especially love Brussels with balsamic glaze.

It’s almost back to school time and it happens to be National Zucchini Day, so I wanted to whip up a quick, easy, and healthy snack that is perfect for afterschool. These zucchini Parmesan crisps are so simple to make and totally kid-friendly.

One of our favorite (and popular) summer recipes is Mexican Street Corn. We love grilling corn in the summer because the kids love it and it just feels like summer. The great thing about this elote in a cup recipe is that it takes traditional street corn and makes it much more portable and perfect to take to bbqs or other summer parties by making Mexican street corn in a cup.
