Love sweet potato fries. Yellow squash works great in mac and cheese for the kiddos. Also, I blend spinach in everything – smoothies and oats. Can’t really taste it.

I love sneaky veg. Great tips for kids… but I definitely use most of these for myself too! Never tried avocado in baked goods though, I’ll have to remember that one for sure!

Wow, those are tips for sneaking veggies into kids’ food, but I definitely have tried the cauliflower, pumkin and spaghetti squash!

Thanks for the great tips!

The main way I came to love veggies was by always seeing my mom eat them during dinner. As a kid, I obviously looked up to and idolized my mom, so when I saw her loading up her plate with fresh veggies of course I followed along!

I love making sweet potato fries with some cumin and black pepper sprinkled on. And it’s amazing how much spinach you can pack into a frittata without even realizing it! So many ways to get more veggies into our diets (and our kids diets).

Whadabout sticking some spinach in a smoothie?!

My Mom used to always put out cut veggies when we’d come in from playing outside absolutely RAVENOUS. That always did the job. Before we knew it, we had just eaten 3 servings of carrot sticks, steamed broc., cucumbers, or bell peppers!

We’d chomp while she made the rest of our meal!
