Blueberries and Sugar Snap Peas

One of our earlier topics this year was letting the kids help us shop for healthier foods and making this fun as well as a learning experience for them.  We just touched on this a couple of weeks ago, but like me, you may have let "life" get in the way and these ideas find their way to some archive file in the brain gathering dust. 

I can't wait until my new grandson, is old enough to participate in this kind of experience!  What fun, allowing your kids to choose veggies and fruit from the following colors and encouraging them to help you prepare a meal using their choices!  So what if they choose blueberries and snap peas?   It's their choice.  Work with it.  My favorite way to prepare a meal based on ingredients we have on hand:  "Google what you got!"

Google is my amazing "go to" no nonsense search engine and I am never disappointed with creative and often simple recipes that had not occurred to me.
