Instead of focusing on chocolate bunnies this spring, encourage your family to eat like a bunny by offering tasty, easy-to-prepare veggies at every meal. Elizabeth M. Ward, MS, RD, mother of three and author of MyPlate for Moms, How to Feed Yourself & Your Family Better offers hints to help Moms get their little bunnies to eat more veggies this Easter (or any time of year).

Elizabeth notes that roasting vegetables is tasty, nutritious and an easy way to add variety and color to a plate. Try red bell peppers, green zucchini, yellow squash, orange sweet potatoes and white cauliflower for a rainbow of veggies. Try this quick and simple recipe for roasted veggies.

Add nutrient-rich veggies to your favorite egg scrambles or omelets. Elizabeth says to try diced tomatoes, onions and multicolored bell peppers in an omelet; sauté spinach and other leafy greens like kale or collard greens for scrambled eggs; or add chopped broccoli and red onions to either one!

“I want my kids to celebrate the goodness of veggies,” says Elizabeth, “so I believe in making them delicious!” Elizabeth encourages Moms to experiment with different herbs and spices to add flavor and for a fresh butter taste and less saturated fat (and 0g trans fat), cook with Country Crock® instead of butter.
