New Book Helps Parents Make Mealtime Fun
A Very Veggie World, by Clare Crespo, transforms ordinary vegetables into magnificent edible works of art. Clare, in her signature whimsical style, showcases 25 delicious ideas that will get kids excited about eating their veggies, and you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn the recipes are simple and fast to make, too!  We especially adore the baby carrot and squash butterflies, pasta full of pepper “posies” and gigantic “hippo” dip carved out of a spaghetti squash. Check out our favorite recipes from the book here, and watch our video interview with Clare below.
