Sauteed Romanesco Broccoli with Cheese Ravioli

Romanesco Broccoli is a delicious and nutritious veggie with a nutty flavor.  Sauteeing this unusual veggie in olive oil and garlic which we grew in The Giving Garden for the Great Veggie Adventure made a delightful meal. Romanesco is a seasonal item that is available during the fall (September - October) or you could grow some yourself in your garden.

Students in The Giving Garden Harvesting the Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots and Making Salsa

Students from Union Pleasant Elementary School enjoyed being outside in The Giving Garden harvesting all sorts of yummy fresh grown veggies that they had a hand in sowing and growing this year.  On a beautiful fall day, our students in grades 2nd through 5th helped reap the abundance of the earth harvesting cherry tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, peppers, Purple Rainbow Carrots, Romanesco Broccoli, and Orange Party Cauliflower.  They prepared a fresh salsa using scissors to cut the tomatoes.  They tasted the cruciferous veggies of Romanesco broccoli and Party Cauliflower and Purple Rainbow Carrots with a dip of Organic Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing.
