Sneaking Veggies into Your Kids Favorite Foods

Here are some great ways to hide those veggies for even the pickiest of our eaters.

1. Grate carrots into your child's favorite muffin recipe.

2. Chop zucchini, corn, carrots or cauliflower fine and add to spaghetti. Cover with marinara sauce.

3. Juice a carrot, stalk of celery and apples for a veggie juice drink.

4. Lots of veggies can hide in meatloaf. Chop finely and no one will no the difference.

If you are a lucky parent and your child loves salad, almost any fresh veggie can be chopped and added to the mix.
If your child loves to dip his apples, try giving him carrots, sugar snap peas, broccoli and cauliflower to dip in ranch instead.
Mac cheese is a favorite among the children in our family, by adding peas and chopped broccoli they will never notice the taste.
