Sneaking in the Veggies
by Amy Hunt

Super picky eaters can cause a problem when it comes to vegetables.  There are many ways to sneak vegetables into food when other attempts have failed.  Here are a few creative ideas to get you started.

• Try adding shredded carrots to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.


• Add vegetables to ricotta cheese and blend together in a food processor. You can use this mixture in foods such as lasagna and stuffed shells.


• Blend cream cheese with vegetables in the food processor for a tasty spread that is great on bread and crackers.


• Add grated vegetables such as carrots and squash to homemade baked goods such as muffins, cakes or oatmeal cookies.


• Mix grated carrots and zucchini with tuna fish or chicken salad.


• Mix grated vegetables in with ground beef for hamburgers, meatloaf, or meatballs.
