Veggie of the Month - March: Spinach
March brings the start of spring, and spinach is a green that thrives in cooler temps before the weather heats up. Spinach is loaded with vitamins, making it an excellent pick for growing kids. Plus, it’s mild enough to blend into smoothies or sauces without little ones noticing!
Our book this month is Sylvia’s Spinach by Katherine Pryor. This charming tale follows Sylvia, who’s not so sure about eating (or growing) spinach—until she plants her very own seeds and discovers a new favorite veggie!
Try one of these recipes:
Green Smoothie – Blend spinach with fruit, yogurt, and a touch of honey.
Spinach Quiche Muffins – A simple egg, cheese, and spinach mixture baked in muffin tins.
Spinach Pesto – Swap out basil for spinach in this versatile sauce.
Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups – Spread spinach and ricotta on lasagna noodles, then roll and bake.
Embrace the fresh flavor of spinach this spring, and let’s get those kiddos excited about eating their greens!
