I must admit that I bought these little eggplants because they were so darn cute!!!

I wasn’t sure what to do with them so I decided to keep it simple.  I just tossed them in a pan along with some zucchini, white onions, olive oil, sea salt, and a little bit of pepper for about 10 mins and served them with some rice and Spanakopita.  It was pretty tasty!

So if you’re at the farmer’s market or grocery store and happen to come across these little gems I suggest buying some and giving them a try.  If you happen to have a picky eater they might be up for giving these mini eggplants a try just based on their cuteness!

After a fun trip to the farmers market Hannah and I made roasted rainbow carrots for dinner!  We’re so used to seeing orange carrots that it’s such a treat for our eyes to see bright yellow and deep purple carrots!  Purple just happens to be my daughters favorite color so whenever we come across purple produce she is more than excited to try it.

We like to cook together as a family as often as possible as there are so many opportunities for little ones to learn and help out in the kitchen!

Look at that purple!!!!

Sunny yellow carrots!

I pretty much just watched Hannah prepare this…she took charge and had a blast…I was so proud to be HER assistant this time!

Ta da!!!  Our delicious roasted rainbow carrots!

I would like to encourage you to get your kids involved in the kitchen, yes it can sometimes mean that things take twice as long and can be twice as messy when they first start helping out, but if you keep at it you might be pleasantly surprised and find yourself being the helper just like I did this weekend!
