Veggie of the Month - February: Broccoli
February is a perfect time to celebrate all the ways we can enjoy broccoli! This nutrient-packed veggie might look like little “trees,” which makes it all the more appealing to little imaginations. Steamed, roasted, or hidden in cheesy casseroles—broccoli can fit into so many yummy meals.
Our featured story is Monsters Don’t Eat Broccoli by Barbara Jean Hicks. The silly rhymes and monster antics add humor to the idea that maybe broccoli isn’t so scary after all. It might just tempt even the pickiest eaters to take a bite!
Give these recipes a whirl:
Cheesy Broccoli Bake – Bake broccoli florets with a simple cheese sauce.
Broccoli Tots – Think tater tots, but with finely chopped broccoli, breadcrumbs, and cheese.
Broccoli Pesto Pasta – Steam broccoli and blend it into a bright green sauce.
Broccoli Cheddar Soup – A classic comfort food perfect for cooler days.
We hope February finds everyone discovering just how fun and tasty broccoli can be!
