Hello From a New Member!

[Guest guest]

I wanted to introduce myself to the group and thank you for all the great

recipes I have seen thus far.

 

My husband is venturing into the life of a vegetarian. Not easy for him, but

after watching Food Inc he knows it's for the better! I used to eat a

vegetarian diet until I met my husband years ago. We are really excited to be

eating a healthy diet of wholesome goodness from veggies.

 

We will be starting our garden this year with tons of fresh veggies and we can't

wait to find wonderful recipes to them into.We have two kids and I have found

that they prefer to eat just veggies and have found some great kid friendly

recipes.

 

I have included their favorite to share with everyone, Spinach Nuggets!

 

Thank you for having a great group to find great recipes from!

Spinach Nuggets

1 16-oz package frozen chopped spinach, cooked, drained, and chopped further if

needed

1 cup whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs

1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

3 eggs or 5 egg whites

 

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.

Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well.

*Add seasonings if you like - garlic powder, pepper, extra basil & oregano for

example.

Add a fruit or veggie puree to substitute for the eggs if desired.

Shape mixture into nuggets or fun shapes such as squares or squigglies etc..at

this point, you can cook as they are or lightly coat each nugget with some bread

crumbs and place on baking tray.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turn nuggets over after 15 minutes.

Serve warm.

I use fresh spinach, and add carrot puree instead of eggs. Seasonings make it

great too!
