Market Day

Yesterday's post... Wordless Wednesday feautred pictures from a recent trip my mom and I took with the girls to a local market.  We let the girls each pick a purple fruit or veggie to have a Purple Dinner. 
Madi picked out some purple potatoes, J picked blueberries and K picked... oh wait.  K wouldnt participate.  Again.  Ugh.  What to do with a teen like that?

Well, anyways... we made roasted veggies with the purple potatoes, sweet potatoes carrots, garlic, onions, and mushrooms... and then mixed them with some sour cream and seasonings to make something kinda like a warm potato salad.  And Madi and J LOVED IT!  It was fun teaching them about a new veggie and then showing them that its tasty too.  :o)

The we had blueberry lemonade and blueberry parfaits! 

Oh... and the horse... was just along the side of the road, so my mom pulled over and started talking to it.  She is a crazy wonderful woman. 

How do you interest your kids to new foods and expeirences??
