carrot salad (grated carrots mayonnaise and raisins) ?

Caesar salad, garden salad, vegetarian lasagna? If you want the recipe let me knwo and I will type it up after work :) Carrot cake, zucchini cake/bread???? I have recipes for all this stuff.

I have never found my kids to have a problem eating veggies so I think I am lucky (they even order salad at restaurants) but I hear alot of people have a problem with it

My kids eat their veggies too so I don't usually worry about this but I have heard some great ideas.
Spaghetti is the best to hide anything in. Just chop what ever veggie you are making into the sauce. My SIL does it as she serves it not in the pot. She dishes out 1/2 cup greenbeans and mashes them into my nephews serving. Mixes it all up and you can heardly see them! I'm sure it can go with anything. I guess the key is to make them small enough to not be detected by taste or sight :).
She also does the zucchini bread and carrot bread. MMMM. I'm getting hungry :).
Good luck.

This was the only Chinese food my boys ate, but they loved it. I used it many times to push left-over veggies.

CHINESE FRIED NOODLES

1 lb. angel hair pasta
2 cups of any veggy chopped
½ lb bacon
¼ c. celery chopped
2 eggs
¼ c. onion chopped
1 envelope of instant chicken bouillon
¼ c. soy sauce
2 green onion chopped


Cook noodles; rinse, drain and set aside. In a frying pan or wok, fry bacon; remove, blot and crumple. Reserve 2 T. bacon grease. Stir-fry veggies, celery, and onion in grease over high heat until crisp tender. Set aside. Beat eggs with 1/8 cup of soy sauce. Fry. Combine noodles, vegetables and fried eggs in large bowl. Toss with bouillon mix and 1/8 c. soy sauce. Sprinkle green onion and bacon on top before serving.

Pizza hides veggies pretty well. Also, DD absolutely LOVES spinach quiche or any other type of veggie I stick in there. I posted that recipe under the brocolli recipe question.

Eggplant parmasian?

a friend of mine adds brocolli to mac and cheese. Her DD devours it (otherwise will not eat brocolli)

the only way my youngest dd eats her veggies is with ranch dressing on them.She puts it on mashed potatoes,broccoli,salad,cooked carrots,ect.

I have a 27 month old.

I keep corn and peas in tupperware in freezer so I can just use alittle corn or pea for child.

I take alittle corn or peas and heat them up in the microwave in milk for 1 minute and

serve strained of milk to child.

I give child vegetables before anything else so he will eat vegetables.

He seems to love them.

27 month old also like very thin organic baby carrots. I think these may be choking hazard?

Also he like eggs and spinach fried up or backed in casserole.

I have to try that mixing some brocolli to mac and cheese

and grated carrots and raisens sans mayo, because kid doesn't like mayo.
