Tomato season is going strong! If you've never tried making your own sauce, now is the time. Cooking it yourself lets you control the salt level, added sugars (yes, your store-bought sauce likely has sugar as an ingredient!), and any allergens. You can also add in your favorite spices, fresh basil, mushrooms, and more. Let us know if you give it a try! For other simple recipes and storage tips for local produce, check out our Savor the Sandhills Recipe Library at www.sandhillsag.com/recipes

Turn Your Thrive Harvest Box Into School Lunch Magic!

Back-to-school season is here, and your Thrive Harvest Wellness Box is packed with fresh ingredients that can make lunchbox prep easier (and more nutritious!). Here are a few kid-friendly ways to use your weekly veggies:

Make-ahead egg bites - A great grab-and-go breakfast or lunchbox addition. Whisk together 6 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, a handful of finely chopped CSA veggies, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into greased mini muffin cups and bake at 350°F for about 15–18 minutes, until set. Cool and refrigerate for easy weekday lunches!

Quesadilla filling - Have leftover cooked or chopped veggies? Toss them between tortillas with cheese for a quick, crispy lunchbox-friendly quesadilla.

Mini naan pizzas - Turn leftover veggies into pizza toppings! Add chopped veggies and cheese to mini naan breads, bake until warm and bubbly, and you've got an easy kid-approved lunch.

Sneak in the veggies - Finely chop or shred zucchini, carrots, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or other favorites and mix them into eggs, pasta sauce, mac & cheese, meatballs, muffins, or quesadillas. Small pieces make veggies less intimidating for picky eaters.

Keep it snack-sized - Slice cucumbers, carrots, peppers, or other crunchy veggies and pair them with hummus, ranch, cheese, or a favorite dip.

The best part? One CSA box can become several easy lunchbox ingredients throughout the week. Prep a few veggies when your box arrives, and future-you will thank you! What’s your favorite way to turn CSA veggies into kid-approved meals? Follow us for more easy recipes and share with a friend who could use healthy lunchbox ideas!
