Do you remember when you were a kid and used to refuse to eat your veggies? For all the neighbors knew, there might have been some kind of war going on trying to get you to swallow a mouthful of green healthiness.<\/p>\n
Later in life, you kind of grow into vegetables. They become less distgusting, and if you’re like me, you even enjoy them.<\/p>\n
However, I realize this isn’t the case for everyone. So, here are four\u00a0of the best ways I know to “hide” veggies so you (and your loved ones will eat them…<\/p>\n
I never said any of these options were “healthy” or “paleo” so bear that in mind. Actually, this is the only one of the four that isn’t.<\/p>\n
One of the best dishes I made that hid vegetables well was an alfredo pasta bake. The idea is that you can cook up some penne pasta, add whatever meat and vegetables to it you like, and cover it with homemade alfredo sauce.<\/p>\n
While I typically add sausage, onions and garlic to the dish, I also add at least one, or all, of the following:<\/p>\n
Typically, I’ll saut\u00e9 everything before putting them in the dish to bake. Once all the ingredients are saut\u00e9ed together, they can go in dish with the penne, get covered with the alfredo sauce, and cook on high until the sauce is bubbling a little bit.<\/p>\n
No one ever says anything about the veggies!:-)<\/p>\n
As I’ve posted elsewhere, bacon is an excellent companion to just about any vegetable. You can cut up the bacon into pieces, fry it up, and with the bacon grease, sautee the vegetables in there as well.<\/p>\n
