Use the blender or food processor to hide vegetables in food kids love like spaghetti sauce or chili. You can even add pureed carrots to macaroni and cheese. Instead of butter, add low fat sour cream or buttermilk to mashed potatoes. Snack on baby carrots while you prepare dinner. Supplement your take-out dinner with vegetables and fruit from home.
Macrowaved veggies are always fast and easy.
Add to cooked, drained vegetables, like carrots, broccoli or green beans. Heat over medium until glazed - about 2 minutes. Add raisins, sliced almonds or pine nuts for something different. Add a sprinkle of brown sugar, orange juice, nutmeg and cinnamon to mashed squash, sweet potatoes or canned pureed pumpkin. If you don't have any leftover turkey, you can poach a turkey breast to use in this recipe.
