Hidden Goodness and more!

Someone in my house is a very picky eater. I'm not going to point a finger at HIM or tell you who it is.... but HE is picky. He will only eat a few vegetables, actually three or four that I can think of off the bat. Corn, celery (raw only), carrots (raw only), and broccoli are the veggies of HIS choice. And of course, little kids can sometimes be picky as well.

So how can I make sure that they are getting their daily dose of healthy veggies? You hide them!! You can buy cookbooks telling you how to hide veggies in foods but I'm not really interested in taking it that far. The only weapon that I need in a healthy hiding arsenal is my Pampered Chef Food Chopper. I know that a few other companies make food choppers now but Pampered Chef is the best in my personal opinion.

The way that I usually hide veggies in a pasta dish is to select several veggies and chop them to bits and then put them in my pasta sauce. No one in my family has ever noticed that they are there. If there are big chunks of veggies in the sauce, His Royal Highness will pick them all out and place them on my plate. So get out your chopper and just take out your frustrations for the day. Then place them in the sauce to simmer until softer and no one will ever know. It'll be our little secret. Don't tell His Royal Highness!
