Play Peek-a-boo with Vegetables

Shield Veggies inside a Tortilla Wrap

Do you find it a colossal task to make your family eat vegetables? You can try these sneaky ideas given below to break the resistance from your family members.

• Do the salsa. Salsa (made with tomatoes, beans or other veggies) served with pita, bagel or tortilla chips does not look like the typical vegetable dish. Read more about good healthy salsa options at www.firsteatright.com.
• Blend them in. Put shredded carrots in mashed potatoes, or mix them with potatoes for a twice-baked version, chopped broccoli in macaroni and cheese, layered zucchini in lasagna or shredded spinach in slaw.
• Hide it up. Shield the veggies under pizza cheese, in a tortilla wrap or at the bottom of a pita.
• Serve single-dish meals. Kids have no other choice than to eat the only veggie side dish available.
