My kids have always been pretty good about eating what is placed in front of them….from buttered spinach to to sautéed eggplant to raw bell peppers. But recently I have been trying to introduce different flavors and textures. With all the sickness going around, I have been vigilant in making sure my family is pumped with vitamins and getting healthy meals and rest.
So this past week I tried making ordinary and familiar meals with seasonal vegetables. So far I’ve tried homemade macaroni and cheese with winter squash mixed in and parmesan risotto with butternut squash….the result was great- My husband said “mmmm creamy” 
I even made vegetarian cheese quesadillas with a puree of seasonal veggies.
So, my healthy additions to meals has been working and thankfully, my family is staying healthy thru this crazy sick season.
Any more healthy and creative ideas?

Ha! Love this. Have you used the cookbook “Deceptively Delicious” for any of this? This is exactly what she does. Spinach in brownies!
