Re: green veggies - need ideas
Stir fry with bok choy or baby bok choy, onions or scallions, garlic, and whatever else you like, with peanut sauce.
Steamed kale, collards, chard, spinach, broccoli rage, really any green. Kids like flavored vinegar on top, occasionally I add snips of dried fruit at the end of the cooking. I prefer with just a squeeze of lemon juice. (When I say steamed, what I actually do is simmer it covered in a little broth, to me I "steam" in the pot but I suppose this is technically braising or some other term. It's not boiling because I don't have water to discard when the cooking is done).
Do you like Brussels sprouts? There are a lot of great ways to make them.
Homemade kale chips, very easy.
Salads.
Cauliflower obviously isn't green, but it's in the same family as some of the greenies and is very good for you and usually acceptable to kids. You can mash it and eat like mashed potatoes, put it into sauces, bake it with other things...
