I’m a little obsessed with getting more vegetables into my family. My sweet {vegetable averse} husband has learned to tolerate me sneaking them into all kinds of dishes. Why bother? Well, vegetables are a rich source of vitamins, some minerals, fiber, and water. They also provide phytochemicals that are known to be protective against cancer, heart disease, and diabetes – nutrients you can’t get from other food groups. Variety is the key, but many people get into a rut or think they only like a handful of veggies. I love to find ways to add vegetables in surprising ways. Here are a few of my latest sneaky dishes:
Beet Whole Wheat Pancakes Just add 1/2 cup pureed beets to any whole wheat pancake recipe.
Cauliflower Cheese Puffs — Recipe to come!
Purple Cauliflower Waffles Add 1/2 cup pureed cauliflower to any whole wheat waffle recipe.
Black Bean Brownies with Peanut Butter Chips — Recipe to come!
Spinach Eggs Add 1/4 cup shredded fresh spinach while slow cooking the eggs.
