This might not actually trick a suspicious child, but if you're looking for ways to get
more veggies in your meals, its easy to do.
I like to buy the packages of cole-slaw mix (with the bagged salads- about 99 cents) and the packages of broccoli slaw mix (usually near the Asian type vegetables- about $1.99). These are just the chopped veggies- they don't have any sauce like the 'slaw' name implies. It might be a little cheaper to buy cabbage, broccoli, and carrots and chop them yourself, but I add these vegetables to almost everything I make and the convenience is unbeatable. One package of each lasts all week, even if I use them in some meal almost every day.
Here are photos of the spaghetti sauce that I made today:
I threw in about 1 cup of raw broccoli slaw (julienned broccoli, cabbage, carrots) and a big handful of chopped (fresh) kale. Look pretty heavy on the veggies, right?
And here is another photo after the vegetables have been stirred in:
They disappear right into the sauce (especially the kale)! A pain-free way to add a extra couple of servings of veggies!
