Happy Faces from Veggies

We’ve been using veggies from the garden to make salad plates that are fun for kids.














Self-serve Veggies

The Mexican gherkins, which look like mini cucumbers, have been a huge hit around here.

So much of a hit, that I often look out to see the kids grazing on them. I wasn’t too surprised, because last year Emma loved them.

But I’ve been surprised by Quinn snacking on raw yellow wax beans. I’ve caught him a couple of times crunching away on them.

There’s a simple reason for the enthusiasm: the kids are picking the veggies themselves.
