hiding vegetables

sometimes its hard to get your kids to eat their veggies so we are always told to "hide" them in other foods or come up with creative names for them that make them seem fun. i'm guessing the "fun names" game doesn't work on all kids, but if you are like me you don't know where to hide the veggies. here is one idea. awhile ago i posted a recipe for some homemade meatballs. add to that ingredients list finely chopped celery and shredded carrots. make sure you mix them in real good before forming the balls!

here is a yummy green shake that many children like.

1 cup raw spinach
1/2 avacado
1/2 cup water
2 or 3 TBS of agave or slenda
2 tsp vanilla
mix in blender
add a cup of ice

tell your children that it is a lucky shamrock shake.


Another yummy dish is whipped green potato.
whip cooked potatoes, milk and butter with electric mixer, add some of the spinach and avacado mixture (minus the ice)

both are fun for st pats day
