Eat Your Veggies



My girls will not ingest a single piece of food that is green. 

Except a green M&M. 

I don't know where I went wrong but at some point they just stopped eating vegetables.  So this recipe is perfect to get some protein and veggies into a girl who doesn't like meat or veggies.

This links to the recipe I ripped off. 

Below is the version I make that Roo gobbles up.

What Roo calls Zucchini Patties

Grate 1 cup of zucchini.

fingernails optional

Salt and drain for 30 min to remove excess water

photo bombed by Roo

Rinse and smash 1 can black beans

I love smashing things

Combine:

the zucchini

the smashed beans

1 egg

20 crushed saltines

1/4 cup Mexican shredded cheese blend

2T chili powder

1/4 t cumin

1/4 t salt

I mix it together with my hands like a meatloaf or a salmon/chicken patty. 

Oh - did your mom ever make salmon patties using salmon from a can

where sometimes you saw that spine looking thing?  No?

not dog food

I just form them into patties and fry them in a little olive oil.

Yum!

I eat mine with salsa and sour cream. 

Roo is a ketchup girl. 

Pink opts out.

that's a bread plate
they are about the size of
a small hamburger

I make 5 patties at ~20 carbs each.

A shout out to Roo who is slowly eating more veggies, two bites of sauteed zucchini or roasted or steamed cauliflower or broccoli and cauliflower smothered in cheese sauce or kale chips.
