Product Review: Sugar Bowl Bakery Palmiers
It is important that the whole family eats their veggies! Our friends at Cooking Light have created some delicious and versatile vegetable dishes that will fill your family with nutrients, won’t break the bank, and will leave your family asking for seconds!
Edamame Succotash
Edamame, with its sweet taste and crunch, is a surprising kid favorite. It makes a hearty addition to this summer staple. If you can’t find frozen, shelled edamame (green soybeans), substitute the more traditional lima beans. Let the kids pick and choose what goes in this dish. They don’t like onions? Leave them out. Teenager going vegetarian? Leave out the bacon. If they make some of the decisions they’re more likely to eat it.

Honey-Glazed Carrots
This simple side dish works well with many different main dishes, such as simply-roasted chicken or pork tenderloin. A honey glaze with a hint of orange makes sweet carrots even sweeter. If you’re kids will push it aside if there’s green stuff lurking, leave out the parsley. Or give them a dinner challenge: leave the parsley out of half and see which one they like in a blind taste test. Getting them to try new flavors may be easier if they’re a part of the challenge.

Zucchini Oven Chips
Transform zucchini slices into oven-baked chips for a fun way to eat your veggies. Have the kids help dredge zucchini in breadcrumbs and watch them crisp up in a hot oven. Serve as a side dish or dip in marinara sauce for fun party food.

Grilled Asparagus Rafts
Pinning asparagus spears together with skewers makes them easier to flip and grill evenly on both sides—and it makes a fun activity for the kids to help out with. A sprinkling of sesame seeds adds crunch and a fun twist on a springtime staple.
