SolBe Families, 

Kitchen Sink Hash!

Zero-waste is a hot topic in the food industry right now and for great reason. Did you know that the U.S. wastes more food per capita than any other country on the consumer level? As much as 40% of food purchased goes uneaten. Let’s be better! Having go-to recipes that allow for substitutes (like potatoes OR sweet potatoes, fresh OR canned tomatoes) will help reduce the amount of wasted or spoiled food at home. With that in mind, take a look in those crisper drawers, grab those half-used onions, an open can of beans, and dream up your favorite flavor combos for this easy 25-minute recipe that’s flexible to substitutions and is great left-over.

You will need

Anything in your fridge that needs to be used, here are some ideas:

  • Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes
  • Onions
  • Peppers
  • Beans (any kind)
  • Zucchini
  • Squash
  • Avocado
  • Greens 
  • Herbs (cilantro is amazing with this combo!)

For the best hash, you want something starchy, like potatoes, as the base, but any other veggie goes! I add beans to make a meal out of it. 

Preheat your oven to 400F.

  • Rough chop your potatoes, onions and peppers (remember, the smaller you cut them the faster they will cook)
  • Add you veggies and beans to a oil sheet pan or cast iron pan

  • Roast for 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, (they will take the longest to cook)

 

  • Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes
  • Add desired serving size to a bowl and garnish with avocado, cilantro, salt and pepper, (remember, kiddos don’t crave salt the way adults do, so try to season your food after serving their portion)

Most important direction, as always: HAVE FUN!  

More resources to follow in the coming days. Feedback and more ideas welcome! 

Above all, be well and stay healthy!

The SolBe Team


Be Supported

We’ve felt the uncertainty that occurs when our children are in the care of someone else. At SolBe, we know you will always be your child’s first teacher; we’re here as a knowledgeable partner in your child’s education.

From our experience, children rise to the intellectual life of those around them, so we are committed to growing as individuals and as a team. You can count on us to provide a warm and engaging learning experience for your little one.

Be Inspired

We’ve spent thousands of hours in classrooms that either overstimulate, underwhelm, or actively prevent educators from delivering the highest-quality education and care. At SolBe, you’ll go beyond the traditional four-walled classroom.

Our award-winning, inventive and uplifting learning spaces stimulate the senses and instill feelings of home-like safety and comfort. They allow for your child’s, and our educators’, changing needs and emotions. They create room for wonder—for learning, and living, outside the lines.

Be Immersed

We’ve seen what’s lost when things are done the way they’ve always been done before. SolBe is an adaptive Spanish exposure program that refuses to accept the status quo.

Our inventive practices grow from the shoulders of giants, with roots in the Reggio Emilia approach, the Montessori method, and well-researched cognitive disciplines that attend to the whole child. We create opportunities to develop character attributes that your child will benefit from for a lifetime. Collaboration. Communication. Independence. Healthy risk-taking. Critical thinking. Emotional awareness. Resilience. Intellectual curiosity. Creative innovation. An authentic love of life and learning.

Be Well

We know what it’s like to forget to feed ourselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. At SolBe, we understand it’s impossible for you to pour from an empty cup. And we do what we can to keep your cup full.

Our learning ecosystem is designed with children and educators—and you—in mind. Seed-to-table nutrition program. Yoga and mindfulness. An all-inclusive experience so you don’t need to worry about finding time to provide meals, diapers, or wipes (unless you want to). Evening and weekend family programs.
