Giveaways Our Family Food & Kitchen

Summer Veggie Moments With Country Crock – Giveaway!

I have to say that our family has loved enjoying the summer. From hanging out on summer nights with friends to days at the pool our favorite summer moments have included food. I live a very food centric life and highly enjoy cooking so it’s only natural that some of our favorite moments include food. Country Crock asked what our favorite veggie moments of the summer are and I have to say those moments include super sweet organic corn. It’s our favorite easy summer veggie and I can grill it, or stream it on the stove top. It’s so abundant during summer that we eat a lot of it.

Summer is one of the best times of year to enjoy veggies from grabbing fresh ears of corn at your favorite road-side stand to visiting the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning for crisp cucumbers and crunchy carrots. Not to mention the many great veggie moments that happen in the summer snapping green beans on the back porch or firing up the grill to char up peppers, mushrooms and more!

With 70% less saturated fat and 30% fewer calories than butter, adding Country Crock to your veggie dishes is a perfect way to keep your meal healthy, delicious, and loved by the entire family! Visit The Crock Country Chronicle for all things veggie!

We were sent a veggie appreciation kit to enjoy more summer veggie moments with my family!

  • A basket perfect for toting summer veggies
  • Cooking tools from Crate and Barrel to help you prepare and cook your summer veggies
  • A copy of A Very Veggie World by Clare Crespo a unique recipe book full of fun and whimsical inspiration

  5. Nice site! I looked at the ideas for the bbq grill other than the standard hot dogs, hamburgers etc…

  12. I love the recipes on that site – the Pizza-Style Grilled Cheese will be a hit with my boys

  24. I learned from the Mealtime Magic article: Studies show that children who eat together as a family do better in school.

  32. When I visited the Crock Country site I like how there were ideas on how to bring the family back together again for meals.

  35. i liked mashed or baked–i agree with the survey that mashed wins 🙂

  42. I like the site, it’s easy to use. I think that “Re-think your Leftover Tubs” article is really neat.

  43. I read and commented on the Welcome-Home Snack Bar. I always welcome healthy ideas for snacks.

  44. I read several articles & I’m inclined to make the Zucchini Snackin’ Cake. Very creative idea & I actually believe my kids would love this!

  48. great site I found a recipe for Zucchini Snackin’ Cake that I like

  57. I like the Mealtime Magic article (http://www.thecrockcountrychronicle.com/news/mealtime-magic-how-to-cook-up-a-successful-school-year-for-your-family/) and tips on getting through mealtimes during the school year. Our kids go back to school on August 27th, and between their school schedule and my strict work-at-home schedule, I’m definitely a little anxious about keeping mealtimes running as smoothly as possible, and tips are always appreciated and soaked up!

  67. I learned that for about 80 calories per thick slice, you can enjoy the natural sweetness of a grilled pineapple. I never would have thought to grill fruit!

  74. I WENT TO THEIR IN THE KITCHEN SECTION AND WISH THEY HAD MORE SUMMER VEG RECIPES, CURRENT RECIPE INFO WAS SPRING BEANS AND SPRING EATS..IT’S SUMMER

  88. The Name the Veggies place mat is a genius way to get the kids learning and more interested in eating veggies. My son likes most anyway, but this would provide him with something fun to do at the table while I am preparing dinner for us. 🙂 bekki1820cb at gmail dot com

  91. I agree with the article on Time for Mom. I usually have leftovers for lunch and pack them up as I’m cleaning up after dinner. It saves a ton of time and money.

  110. Wow, 56% of people like their potatoes mashed while only 26% liked them baked. I thought there would be more baked fans out there.

  128. Oh my goodness I so need to make the Banana & Peanut Butter Muffins, I red the recipe and they sound amazing. I think my family will love them.
