Delicious Nutritious Kid Snacks

Flower Power 

1. Ask mom or dad to buy some Broccoli and Cauliflower.




2. Wash in the kitchen sink.

3. Pull off the leaves from the floret heads.




2. Separate the florets. 
If you need to use a knife make sure mom or dad is with you. 



3. Ask mom or dad to steam them for you. (Steam is very hot! Never try to do it yourself)

(Make sure to set a few of the florets aside so you can compare the taste and texture of raw versus cooked.)

The broccoli should be a beautiful bright green when it is done cooking.

4. Have mom or dad put them on a plate for you.

5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, a little parmasaen cheese, or a delicious dip!
