Re: Creative ideas for more veggies
I add vegetables to everything. My kids know, and I don't hide it, I just DO it.
Tex-Mex meals make for the easiest add ins. I spiralize carrots and roast them with olive oil, salt and cumin, toss with lime juice just before serving. These make a good side, or taco fill addition. We love these. Diced radishes add a great touch of crunch to wraps/tacos.
I add shredded zucchini, carrots, diced mushrooms, and shredded kale to spaghetti sauce.
I make black bean soup with bagged broccoli coleslaw mix, or the big bags of pre-cut broccoli, cauliflower, and baby carrots that my grocery carries (Especially good when they go on clearance). A good puree of the soup before serving helps. if you want more info on this, let me know.
I shred zucchini into frittatas, or meatloaf, or anywhere when I'm making something with ground beef.
I serve sliced raw vegetables all the time, which goes over better than salads.
Um, I know I do more, but I'm stuck with recall right now.
