I forgot to mention Salsa as an ingredient that will help increase vegetable consumption. I use it on burgers, certain fish, chicken, pork, roasts as a marinade/glaze, sandwiches, in recipes calling for crushed tomatoes, even put it in the occasional meatloaf instead of bread or other fillers. Great on Pasta with some sort of low fat meat for a meal or as a side salad for cook outs.
I made Tuna Wraps last night like I mentioned above.
Diced tomatoes and green pepper, shredded some lettuce, chopped onions, a little cheddar cheese, solid white albacore Tuna packed in water drained and broken up, a pinch of salt, black ground pepper, oregano, thyme, and a dash of garlic powder on a large burrito tortilla.
Had a few friends over that do not like veggies but they ate the wraps and were looking for more and the recipe afterwards.
I do not buy my vegetables from the supermarket. I only buy them from farmers markets, roadside stands, and my own homegrown veggies always taste so much better then the stuff they sell in stores.
Some of the best meals I have eaten were culinary experiments.
It is not what you prepare but what you prepare it with.
