    Eat your vegetables. We’ve all heard it. And we all know how good those vegetables are for us. But sometimes we get in a veggie rut. Eating the same ones, in the same ways.

    But eating your vegetables doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, eating your vegetables can be the best part of any meal… or party! That’s right!

    From dips to appetizers, snacks, side dishes, even comfort meals, this week’s Saturday Seven showcases wonderful ways to incorporate more veggies into your menu, ways that even the pickiest eaters will love!

    Cornbread & Squash Dressing

    There is just something about a good pan of Cornbread & Squash Dressing. It's like cornbread dressing with a punch of extra savory flavor. While the mild flavor of yellow squash won’t overwhelm you, the moistness it brings to the cornbread will certainly cause you to sit up and take notice.  Then there’s a whole host of supporting vegetables, like green bell pepper, onion and celery that add layers of rich  flavor.

    Broccoli Slaw with Apples & Brussel Sprouts

    Garlic Parmesan Carrot Fries

    Everyone loves to dip and enjoy crispy, seasoned fries. But those fries don’t have always have to be of the potato variety! Carrots make fabulous fries. Tossed in a little olive oil, Parmesan cheese and just the right seasoning, carrots bake up to be slightly sweet, crisp delights!
