Page 4 - Celebrating 10 Years Veggie Van Recipe Book

INTRODUCTION/ INTRODUCCIÓN
We’re thrilled to celebrate the 10th
Anniversary of the Veggie Van, a
rolling testament to healthier living
and stronger communities!
For ten wonderful years, the Veggie Van has been bringing fresh produce,
bright smiles, and a touch of joy to tables throughout Hillsborough and
East Pasco counties. As we mark this special milestone, we’re filled with
gratitude for everyone who has been part of this journey—whether
you’ve picked up a bag of veggies, shared a recipe, or simply waved as we
rolled by. You’ve helped make this mission possible, and together, we’ve
made mealtimes healthier and our community even more vibrant.
To honor this decade of good food and good health, we’ve gathered a special
collection of easy and delicious recipes straight from MyPlate.gov. These aren’t
just meals—they’re invitations to try something new, to experiment with fresh
produce, and to share a little bit of your kitchen magic with the people you love.
Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just getting started, we hope these recipes
bring a little more color, creativity, and fun to your plate. There’s nothing better
than discovering new flavors and feeling good about what you’re eating!
And here’s something extra to look forward to: be on the lookout for
special features from Veggie Van participants who shared a story and
a recipe in this book! Their heartfelt experiences and favorite dishes
are woven throughout these pages, offering inspiration, community,
and a reminder that good food is meant to be shared. Here’s to another
ten years of community, connection, and delicious possibilities.
We’re so glad you’re here to celebrate with us—
Happy 10th Birthday Veggie Van! Let’s keep those
wheels turning and those veggies coming!
