Tips for Getting Your Kids to Eat Vegetables

• Cut up fruits and vegetables and keep them in the fridge in containers so that the kids can snack on them without having to cut them up.

• While you're cooking, put a salad or vegetables on the dining table so that the kids can satisfy their hunger with some nutrients. Puree vegetables and add them to pasta sauce or mashed potatoes so kids get the extra nutrition without knowing it.

• Make salsa with chunks of tomato, onion, green peppers, corn, and other vegetables. Dipping corn tortilla chips in salsa makes kids feel like they are having a treat.

Easy Preparation Tips to Make Life Easier for You

• Purees are handy, and they can be mixed together or into other dishes, served on top of or alongside other foods, or eaten straight up.

• Make extra so that you don't have to cook at each and every meal. Leftovers can save time.
