Sneakin in the Veggies!

One of my favorite ways to sneak in veggies is to add them to something you already make that your kids love.

My favorite example is to add as many veggies as I can to the Pasta Dishes I make regularly. Most kids love pasta with red sauce so even if you use a jar sauce add your own veggies to it. You can try to chop them and add them or if texture is a problem add the sauce and veggies to a blender or food processor and blend. The kids will never know.

My second example is Taco Meat: add onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes diced to any ground meat and serve in a tortilla. If your kids do not like the lettuce and tomato on top they are getting 3 veggies in the meat. This trick can also be used in hamburgers/cheese burgers.

Lastly, Soup: Add as many veggies as you can to your soup. Even if they don't eat the veggies themselves often they will eat the noodles or drink the broth which is now filled with tons more nutrients.
