PORCH IDEA

Want to know a secret for getting little ones interested in healthy eating?

Let them be your kitchen helpers.

When our Hungryroot box arrives (or any groceries), my kids love unpacking it and sorting the vegetables and fruits in their own baskets.

So, you can turn meal prep into playtime by involving your kiddos in a ' Veggie Sorting Game'. As you unpack your groceries or your Hungryroot delivery, let them sort the veggies into little baskets and help wash them. It’s a fun way to teach them about healthy eating and where their food comes from.

PICKY EATER HELPER

Cheesy Chicken Veggie Patties

This hearty, protein-packed puree combines chicken with vegetables for a nutritious meal that's perfect for young children. It's smooth and easy to eat, making it ideal for babies who are teething.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken

• 1 small zucchini, finely grated

• 1 small carrot, finely grated

• 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Prep the Veggies: Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini and carrot using a clean kitchen towel.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, squeezed zucchini, carrot, chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into small patties. This size is perfect for little hands to hold and helps ensure they cook evenly.

4. Cook: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.

5. Serve: Let them cool slightly, and serve warm. These patties can be served with a side of ketchup or a mild yogurt dip to make them even more appealing to your toddler.

Serving Suggestion: Pair these patties with a small side of mashed sweet potatoes or a light pasta side (if you’ve got a picky eater like me) to make a complete, balanced meal.
