GARDEN GAZPACHO
Gazpacho is a flavorful, chilled, traditional, Spanish cuisine soup. With the abundance of tomatoes, peppers and herbs in the school gardens, I thought this would be a perfect dish to make with elementary students. Through my work in the schools, I teach students how to make healthy dishes using their garden harvest and the importance of healthy eating. I wasn't sure if they would like the idea of "cold" soup, but I can truly say, this recipe has been kid tested and approved! They really loved this flavorful dish. It's perfect for a hot summer day when you don't feel like turning on the stove or oven. This garden gazpacho is loaded with fresh vegetables and many essential nutrients. Experiment with different varieties of peppers, tomatoes and herbs to create your own customized garden gazpacho. My basic recipe is below. Ingredients:

WHITE BEAN & RADISH SALSA
I love making salsa, especially non traditional versions of salsa like this white bean and radish salsa! Salsa is made using lots of fresh vegetables and herbs. It's a perfect appetizer and snack anytime! I created this version, because I had an abundance of radishes from a school garden. Radishes are a great topping for salads, tacos, even pickled, but my favorite way to eat them is in this salsa! White beans adds some protein which makes it an extra healthy, nutrient rich snack.

Eat the Rainbow! You may have heard that phrase before. Maybe it makes you think of Skittles candy (taste the rainbow), or maybe you think of eating nature's candy.

RED COCONUT CURRY BOWLS
A family favorite meal (that we probably have weekly) is curry bowls! We have several favorite restaurants that we regularly get curry from, but, of course, I wanted to try my own version at home. I created this really simple Red Thai Curry. I keep our pantry stocked with canned coconut milk and add different vegetables that I have on hand. Ingredients: Curry:

GARDEN HUMMUS W/VEGGIE DIPPERS
There is always an abundance of green leafy vegetables and herbs growing in the local school gardens that I work with. How do you get kids to love eating them? Blended into a hummus and served with fresh cut vegetables for dipping. This was a hit with 1st graders! Ingredients:
Dippers:
Here are a couple photos from my nutrition demonstration. The kids were excited to try the hummus and veggies and were lined up for more! They especially loved the broccoli and carrots with the hummus!

QUINOA BLACK BEAN SALAD/TACOS
I wanted to share one of my favorite dishes to make that uses my favorite grain, Quinoa. If you are not familiar with quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) here are some facts about this wonderful grain. Quinoa has a high nutritional value and provides all of the essential amino acids. It is not only high in protein, but high in iron, vitamin B3, vitamin B6 and phosphorus. Quinoa is also gluten free. My Quinoa Black Bean Salad/Tacos are very healthy and easy to make. This dish is delicious on its own as a salad or served in a soft shell taco, topped with avocado and salsa, if desired. It can be served hot or cold. It is great to pack for picnic lunches or to keep in the refrigerator for a quick lunch or dinner. Ingredients:
