Zucchini Apple Bread
This healthy, slightly sweet, moist zucchini apple bread is a great way to use up all your garden zucchini.
Hearty Vegetable Soup
There's nothing like a hearty vegetable soup when there's a bountiful harvest.
Spiced Pumpkin Butter
Turn pumpkin puree into spiced pumpkin butter with the delicious fall-flavored canning recipe. While you can wrap jars of this pumpkin butter recipe up for gifts, make sure to save one or two for yourself to spread on toast or mix into oatmeal.
Pumpkin Pancakes
Children who claim they don't like pumpkin usually LOVE this recipe!
Curry Winter Squash Soup
Winter Squash is unique in the garden because it stores well allowing us to enjoy its sweet flavor all the way through winter. It is also tremendously popular with kids because it is so sweet. This soup will make a wonderful, warm treat for you and your kids on a winter's day, when other garden produce is in limited supply. Older kids can chop and prepare vegetables, while kids of all ages can help measure spices, scoop out winter squash flesh, stir the soup and use the blender.
Garden Greens with Vegan Magic
This simple, healthy side dish is surprisingly loved by children.
Citrus Salsa
This refreshing citrus salsa makes a great appetizer with chips.
Smashed Kale Salad Recipe
This recipe comes from Life Lab. Kids love tearing up kale and smashing it in a Ziploc bag with lemon and avocado! There is something oddly therapeutic about it. This recipe makes a great salad for the family.
Citrus Kale Salad
This zingy citrus kale salad is nutrient-dense and kids love smashing it in a ziplock bag!
Power Snack
This recipe is great to teach healthy eating habits and also gives kids the opportunity to create what they want to eat. This snack follows the Power Plate guidelines. Power Snacks contains at least one ingredient from each of the five food groups.
Kale Pesto Pasta Recipe
Your whole family is sure to love this recipe! Kale is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and potassium. Studies show it helps with diabetes, cancer, and heart disease prevention and promotes bone, eye, hair, skin, and digestive health.
Banana Muffins
Banana muffins make a delicious, nutritious, moist, on-the-go treat, or breakfast.
Pickled Radish With Meyer Lemon Juice
Some people who don't even like radishes love them prepared this way. This recipe was submitted by Esther Steele, Garden Educator at Mira Vista School.
Purple Cauliflower & Swiss Chard Stir Fry
Add a little color and nutrition to your diet with this stir fry recipe. This recipe was submitted by Esther Steele, Garden Educator at Mira Vista School.
Cinnnamon Apples with Meyer Lemon Juice
This recipe is a Mira Vista School Favorite! It's simple and kids love participating in making it.
Torshi Makhloot - Persian Mixed Vegetable Pickle
Add different spices to your pallet with this Torshi Makhloot - Persian Mixed Vegetable Pickle.
Mom’s Irish Soda Bread Scones
These scones are sweet and perfect with coffee and tea, or an on-the-go snack. This recipe was submitted by a Mira Vista Parent Meg Pitts!
Dutch baby
As a kid, my dad was always in the kitchen cooking up delicious meals. One of my favorites is dutch babies. It’s a large, fluffy pancake that can be served with fresh ricotta, berries, fruit, maple or ginger syrup- the options are endless! It’s perfect for a lazy Sunday breakfast on the porch. What I love about this recipe is it’s so easy and takes about 5 minutes to prepare. Just throw all the ingredients in a blender and pour into a skillet or muffin tray with sizzling butter and voila 25 minutes later you have a little slice of heaven on your plate. This recipe was submitted by West County Digs Communication Specialist Elena Rossi.
Three Sisters Salad
The "three sisters" are corn, beans, and squash (like zucchini). Native Americans planted them together in the garden because they help each other grow. The "three sisters" also work together to give your body a nutritious meal.
Cabbage apple Yogurt Salad
This salad is perfect for the whole family year-round. Crunchy cabbage with crisp apples, celery, and nuts, make this salad nutritious and delicious!
Barley with Roasted Carrots, Snow Peas, and Lemon-Yogurt Sauce
Tender barley with sweet pan-roasted carrots and a tangy yogurt-based sauce makes this recipe a go-to vegetarian dish. This recipe was submitted by a Mira Vista School parent Kirsten Meder! Photo courtesy of Daily Mediterranean Diet.
Zucchini Lasagna
"My mom made lasagna a lot growing up but I wanted to create a healthier, meatless, but still tasty, version. With a surplus of zucchini in the garden and a lack of noodles in the kitchen, this version was born and quickly became a favorite. I love how adjustable it is based on what we have in the garden/house as well." This recipe was submitted by a Mira Vista School parent Kirsten Meder.
Zucchini Fritters
This recipe was submitted by a Mira Vista 1st Grade parent Kirsten Meder!
Baingan (Eggplant) Pakoras
This recipe was submitted my a Mira Vista Parent Safa Suha.
Pickled Fava Beans
Easy Homemade Pickled Fava Bean Recipe! Fava beans can be added to pasta dishes or salads or roasted for a snack. They have a great source of fiber, protein, and micronutrients. When you till Fava bean plants back into the soil they improve soil fertility by adding more nitrogen.
Favorite Chicken Potpie
Many years ago now, I was looking for a recipe that would make some delicious, homemade comfort food. Chicken potpie checks that box for me, and it's a nostalgic type of food that my dad would whip up. I found this recipe at tasteofhome.com and make it a few times a year. My son Vincent LOVES it! This recipe is especially convenient when I want to bring someone food who just had a baby, a surgery, or is under the weather. I can either bring them one cooked pie and tell them to refrigerate or freeze the 2nd one, or I can drop one off for them and bake the 2nd one for my family to eat for dinner.
Grandma's Pumpkin Pie
From Andrew: This recipe is from my great grandmother. My dad likes to make it during the fall. It's my favorite dessert!
No Knead Focaccia Bread
As a child in our Italian family, focaccia was a staple of any party, eaten with cured meats, or just plain, dipped in butter or olive oil. This recipe is fool-proof and one that we make regularly.
Delicious and Simple Cabbage and Beef Soup
This is a soup adults tend to love and kids tend to love too! It's packed with veggies and even better the next day. We make this all winter long and always feel homey and happy when we eat it.

Thank you for your interest in melaniepena's cookbook and for helping support the BakeSpace community of independent cookbook authors!
Here’s some quick information regarding how our cookbook platform works, along with a few tips for making the most of cookbooks you add to your library.
What is the Cookbook Café Platform?
Cookbook Café is our one-of-a-kind cookbook publisher, marketplace and reader. It empowers everyone to create, market and distribute a cookbook as both a web-based eBook and an iPad app. It also makes it incredibly easy for home cooks to discover and use amazing grassroots cookbooks they won't find anywhere else. Since 2012, we've published thousands of cookbooks authored by home chefs, nonprofit organizations, clubs, brands, etc. Our goal is to democratize cookbook publishing and make it easy to build an online library of amazing grassroots cookbooks.
How do I "download" a cookbook?
You don't need to "download" cookbooks or deal with any files. All of the cookbooks you select (free and paid) using Cookbook Café become available to you automatically on any device (computer, tablet or smartphone) whenever you’re logged-in to your free BakeSpace account.When you see a cookbook you like, simply click the green "Get it Now" button. If you're not logged in to BakeSpace, you'll be asked to login (or join) so the cookbook can be added to your cookbook library. Once in your library, you can access the cookbook anytime, anywhere via BakeSpace.com, as well as our Cookbook Café iPad app.
While you're checking out cookbooks, also take some time to visit other parts of the delicious BakeSpace.com community where you can swap recipes and connect with others who share your passion for food and the culinary lifestyle.
Get ready to enjoy a uniquely smart and social cookbook experience!
Once a cookbook is added to your BakeSpace library, our proprietary recipe indexing technology makes it easy for you to find any specific recipe across all of your cookbooks… so there's no need to remember which cookbook contains that perfect recipe. In addition, you can connect directly with each cookbook author, leave comments/reviews and even ask questions about recipe substitutions, history, etc.
