Trick your kids into eating veggies.

Haha I'm so evil but there's nothing I love more then hearing a kid eat a veggie and tell me how yummy it is!

1. Smoothies compliment a veggies with a fruit they never knew it hit them.
2. V8 juice the one with the fruit and veggies
3. Ice pops/Popsicles whatever your prefer term. I like to use kale, spinach, and green apples with a fruit. Blend 1-2 cups fruit and veggie mixture. Add water or oj add 1-2 tbs of sugar. And freeze.
4. Let them use ranch. I'm not a big fan for health reasons but it so yummy! As long as they ate their veggies who cares..
5. Peanut butter! Compliments carrots and celery
6. Let them play with their veggies. Let them build structures and bugs and then eat.
7 . Add to soups and meals they like blend a little up toss it in whatever your cooking and they usually don't know it's there.
8. Try diffrent ways of cooking them. Raw, steamed, boiled, baked. And if none of it works blend it to a pulp and put it in a meal like I said before. I hate hate hate tomatoes but I eat them, I blend them up as much as possible and throw them in my meals here and there and I don't even taste them!
9. Let your kids help. One of the ways we got our daughter into loving veggies is we have an occasional or regular make your own pizza night. We buy crust make  or buy sauce and let her deck out her own pizza with veggies meat and cheese. She always wants to eat it cause she made it!

Buy fresh fruit and veggies on the cheap and make them last longer!

I buy all of my stuff at aldi so I'm going to go according to those prices. Also my family eats alot of fruit and veggies so here's a little trick guide on buying and reserving those fruit and veggies :)

firstly we have potatoes. I buy a big bag of potatoes for 99 cents I use what I want and before they go bad the remaining are turned into fries or potatoe logs. 

I cut them dip them in olive oil or butter and do and season. These Are garlic rosemary potatoes. I bake these at 450 until I feel they are at my deserved texture. 

Onions. Once again I buy a bag of onions usually 59-99 cent use what I want and before they go bad I cut and freeze them. You can saute a or boil and use in any recipie!

Corn I usually buy 4 full corn cobs for 2$ shuck them and then freeze them.  You can boil or microwave for 2 mins frozen.

Broccoli I buy 2 heads 99 cents I usually clean and cut and then bag and freeze them. Cook: boil or steam. 

Carrots i usually freeze them before the go bad to use for stews and such. 

Pineapple cut and use what you want freeze the rest for smoothes.

Apples use what you want cut and freeze for smoothies and pies.

Here are some current pricing at aldi for this week

Cucumbers you can use what you want and then stick left overs in left over pickle juice for a couple of days and have pickles!

Tomatoes: use what you want and and freeze whole or cut depending what you want to use them for. Usually cut for.

peppers: use what you can cut clean and freeze the rest for sauté.  

Mushrooms: if you freeze just know these don't do well for saute they lose alot of that crispness once frozen but still good for other recipes!
