Vegetable Fried Rice
Pamela Salzman
Fried rice is something that was invented in order to use up leftovers. When you add scrambled eggs, peas, shiitake mushrooms and broccoli to long-grain brown rice, you have yourself plenty of protein.3 Hummus Recipes In 1
Laurie David & Kirstin Uhrenholdt
These are three great, easy, healthy dips to use for snack time or with mealtime. And as we all know, kids LOVE to dip! Dip crunchy veggies or pita chips. Or use on the dinner table instead of ketchup with simple grilled chicken. The beet hummus is especially pretty for Valentines Day too!Pappa Al Pomodoro

Sometimes you have time to spend a whole day cooking and humming around your kitchen in a fancy apron. And sometimes you just fling open your pantry and hope that dinner has just magically appeared. Well ta da! Here is dinner, Pappa al Pomodoro (Simple Tomato and Bread Soup), and it is almost magic.Dairy, Egg and Nut Free Apple Cinnamon Crunch Bars
Kelly Rudnicki
My neighbor showed up at my doorstep with a bag of gorgeous apples freshly picked from the apple orchard. I had no choice; I had to make a warm, slightly gooey apple dessert that is perfect for weekend snacking and after-school treats. I love this treat warmed with a small scoop of soy ice cream.Dairy, Egg and Nut Free Banana Chocolate Chip Waffles

At least for a few minutes.Oven Roasted Tomatoes

The other day we were the lucky recipients of a bunch of very ripe tomatoes from a neighbor. Since it was a chilly day (not boding well for ripening my own tomatoes!), I turned on the oven and roasted them up. You don't really need a recipe although there are plenty of them out there.Greek Tomato & Cucumber Salad

Tomatoes and cucumbers...the home gardener's staple crop. But what to do with all of them? At our house we make greek salads!Squash & Greens Gratin

Last night I took this vegetable gratin to a potluck at my boys' school. Wow - was it good - a total keeper!! The recipe came from someone at my CSA and I adapted it a bit to what I had in stock. I also increased the amount of topping. You can never have enough topping!Carrot Apple Fiber Muffins
Micaela Preston
Fresh homemade carrot juice just can't be beat but I've always felt a little bit badly about all the leftover fiber that goes to waste. So I decided to create a recipe for muffins that uses that up that fiber! The result was delicious and I felt like a goody-two-shoes for using the whole carrot!Green Machine

Parents, if your child is a picky eater, this is a great popsicle for them to try. This will help them eat more veggies and you will feel good about letting them have it. An idea you can try is to have your child help you grow your own spinach and let them harvest it when its ready to be added in.
