Helping my kiddos meet their veggie requirements each day has to be one of my biggest feeding struggles. I’m fortunate that the girls will eat some vegetables but I feel like their tastes are constantly changing. One day they’re eating bell pepper slices and the next they’re picking them out of their pasta. I feel like it is a never ending cycle.

One thing I’ve been doing lately to work in more vegetables is adding them to foods they already love. I shred carrots and zucchini and stir into spaghetti sauce or mix into meatloaf.  Sometimes, I’ll add chickpeas to baked desserts like my Chickpea Blondies or add fresh greens to quesadillas.

Convenient Meal Option – Healthy, Easy and Quick

Lately, we’ve been loving Nature’s Greens® Kale for our meals. It has a tender texture, is flavor-packed and is so easy to prepare. I love ingredients that require little fuss and will work in a variety of recipes. That’s why having a package of Nature’s Greens on-hand is nice option because they are delicious in pastas or smoothies, sautéed on their own or used as a salad base. Plus, the greens are prewashed and torn into bite-sized pieces making it super convenient. The girls love to help me prepare the greens because they like to see the “magic” that happens when it wilts down while cooking.

Beans and Greens Quesadillas

Nature’s Greens® Kale is a delicious option in my Beans and Greens Quesadillas to boost nutrition while offering a subtle flavor. This recipe is an ideal way to work veggies into a food that children (and grownups) already love – quesadillas – making them tasty, simple to make and versatile.

Now that school is back into full swing, I like having meals in the freezer that are ready to eat when we’re in a rush and I don’t have time to cook. I also like being able to pull out these options to include in lunchboxes on a hectic morning. The beauty of these quesadillas is that they hold well in the freezer for up to one month. Plus, they use ingredients you already have on-hand like canned beans, fresh greens, cheese and whole grain tortillas. Customize the quesadillas by adding other favorite veggies or protein such as cooked chicken breast.

To reheat frozen quesadillas, simply heat on low in a skillet for about 5 minutes on each side or until they’re crispy. You can also reheat in a warm oven for 10 minutes.
