There's a ton of veggies in 'harvest' (some are past, some are coming to peak, others are there). Here's a favorite of mine and Keupi loves it:
First - WASH everything.
Second - have two cups of water and an ice cube tray on hand.
I take different varieties of squash (eg., zucchini, yellow) and cut it into chunks.
In a sauce pan, I spray it a little with a non-stick spray, place the squash chunks with either grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes (whole) .* On low heat, with a spatula I mix and break up the tomatoes. When you're through, it looks like you have a chunky paste (add water in small increments for consistency).
Now - get creative - add in broken up spinach leaves, corn (off the cob - or baby ears cut), cut carrots, peas.
Keep adding water to keep the chunky paste consistency. It's done when you have added everything you want in, and it's mixed well.
With a teaspoon, take a dollop out to cool. The rest, spoon out into the ice cube tray. Freeze until hard (about 1-2 hours) then bag the cubes in a ziploc one for later use.
When the dollop cools, spread on a piece of flatbread, a cracker, thread with a soft bread as base on a kabob, mix it into the treat dish with other favorites...
As for the cubes, they're great to pull out and do the above with 'leftovers' or for that time when you didn't get to the market to buy veggies and the one's you have in the fridge, well, no (it happens).
I keep these for those, um, 'pizza' nights at my house during the winter.
He just eats it up.
It's sort of a catch all but you really can't do wrong.
