Healthy kids

Broccoli:

Broccoli 🥦 is a great source of vitamins K and C, and good source of folate (folic acid) also provide potassium and fiber. Vitamin C builds collagen, which forms body tissue and bone, and help cuts and wounds heal. Broccoli also contains more protein than most other vegetables.

Unfortunately, our little geniuses hate the word broccoli! As soon as I mention broccoli for lunch or dinner to my son, he goes and hide, or pretend he’s not hungry!

So I decided to trick and treat my son by adding broccoli to his meals in different ways. Muhaha…#meanmoms 😜

One recipe I found online that I really liked but I added some ingredients to it was the broccoli nuggets.

All kids love nuggets, and this recipe was a winner. I served it at lunch time to my son and he ate three of them. Make sure to not let your kids know what is made of. 😉

Ingredients:

-A bag of broccoli florets.

-3 large potatoes.

-2 eggs.

-1cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

-1/4 teaspoon salt.

-1 cup bread crumbs.

Preheat oven to 365 degrees. Put steamed broccoli florets inside a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

Add chopped boiled potatoes. Add garlic, eggs, cheese and salt and mix everything.

Make small balls of mixed veggies and roll them over the bread crumbs. Gently press them down so all nuggets are the same height.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden, et voilà! Ready to serve.

Another broccoli recipe for babies (six months and up):

Steam broccoli florets and put it in a food processor.

Pulse until finely chopped. And put it in small containers or mason jars.

I always make an amount of two days, because I hate to freeze baby food (my personal opinion).
