every night???
or every secind night???
what the go in your house?
We eat them almost every night. I love my vegies!
every night in some sort of permutation - a lot of the time i have a vegie soup for starters if i'm home on my own - then whatever i drag from the freezer for dinner. all our frozen meals are loaded with veg though... summer is different - salad almost every night. and if i bbq, i bbq more veg (spud, sweet spud, carrot, corn, zucchini) than i do meat (it's mostly for DH).
as to "meat and three veg" type meals - only ever when DH is home. i rarely eat red meat when i'm home alone, so i get my veg from soups and things. i almost always plan a roast with all the veg when i know DH will be home for a weekend, and i eat with my brothers family one night a week, which is always meat and veg.
this will obviously change again when we have kidlets, as i will be inspired to cook for someone else! everything i cook now for someone else has to be freezable and easily reheatable so its cooked in bulk...
hmmm, lots of waffle there!
yep same here, we have them most nights. I'm lucky though DP does the cooking & he loves his veges he will do 4 at a min. & usually 8/9, I wasn't so keen at first but after 11 yrs together I have to say I am sad when he only does 4 :lol:.
The only exceptions are thinks like when we have spag bol but he will still add a couple of vegies such as zucchini, beans, brocoli etc... or taco's
Almost every night. Often try and have vegies at lunch too.
Love vegetables - struggle with fruit for some dumb reason though.
...Ive never understood people who dont eat them.
We always ate a lot of vegies but when we turned vegie we discovered lots more ways to use them. If you want to increase the amount of vegies you eat then check out some vegie/vegan cooking books or recipe sites as they will give you some great info. Just beware the ones that put cheese or egg into everything! We have tried some really exotic foods now and love going to our local vege market to see what is different.
Most nights, definitely.
If it's not veges it's something with veges in it - I make my spaghetti sauce with capsicum, carrot, sometimes pumpkin, mushroom, zucchini... so normally whatever we eat has veges ir veges hidden in it!
Hate vegies with a passion....so mainly salads here...but i eat alot of fruit so thats my excuse for skipping them....and Chelsea eats alot of fruit and refuses vegies too!
We are a meat and probably 6 veg house here!
My girls LOVE veggies - and fruit, would eat them all day if i let them
We have veges every night, unless we have pizza or something like that. I even put finely chopped carrot in bolognese.
We usually have a minimum of three different veges on the plate every night. The Boy loves carrot, so that always seems to be there, plus any number of cabbage, green beans, potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, zucchini, corn, peas. Or what ever else I have...
I love veges, and I can't understand those that don't eat them either.
We eat them every night :)
DH loves his spuds & carrots & onions. I love my broccoli, peas, sweet potato, brussell sprouts.
DS loves his veg, I think he has veggo tendancies. Last night I did roast lamb with spuds, onions, sprouts & corn. DS ate all his veg (and stole more sprouts!) and didn't eat his meat.
My bolognese has celery, onions, carrots, mushies as a standard ;)
AJP - how often do you have them?
We eat them almost every night.
We have always eaten vegie's most nights. We always have a good variety!!
Since I have been on my "diet" we eat vegie's every night and I have them for lunch too some days.
Every night here too - either alone as a side dish, in soup or grated in bolognaise sauce/fritters etc.
LOVE LOVE my vegies and hoping to pass that onto DD, so far so good!!!
every day, though we rarley have the meat and x number of veg.
Usually it's stirfries, laksas, curries, casseroles, pasta sauces, etc.
Also lots of vege soup like BG, toasties with tomato etc for lunch, veges on rivitas etc.
Frittatas, omlettes.
I'm trying to lose weight so yes it's veggies every night!!! I also have a rule that I must have fruit or veg with every meal or snack.
A third of what's on your dinner plate should be veggies...another third whatever starchy food (potato, corn, sweet potato, rice, couscous, bread or pasta) and only a third (or less) of protein.
If you're trying to lose weight then it should be half of your plate covered in veggies, and a quarter and quarter of carb and protein.
Our family has veggies every night except once a fortnight we have a take away treat,like chinese,well that includes veggies,but the kids like pizza or red rooster,and they snack on fruit at least two pieces per day,my kids never complain it`s what they have been brought up on.
kaz we eat them most nihgts as well, only exceptions is if it takeaway or spag bol etc...
sophie also LOVES fruit and veg, she's eat probably 4 fruit and 6 veg a day! i also struggle to get meat into her!! she doesnt really like brussel sprouts though and i dont blame her!!
she loves peas and mushrooms the most!
reason i asked this question is if we dont have vegies one night i feel soooo guilty!! was wondering how others felt about vegies!
Almost every night here to.. Only reasons for not are if we have takeaway..
Even our spag bol has veges in it and if we make our own pizzas I add sonme to my pizza :lol: Love Roasted Pumpkin on top.. delish
I'm an ex vegan, and we eat veges multiple times a day. Arvo snacks are generally carrot sticks or capsicum sticks and chick pea/sweet potato dips....
Its one of my paranoias, that my girls don't get enough veges. We make vege muffins once a week for morning teas with our fruit and we have veges in every dinner... I can't think of dinners we eat that don't have veges. Even our meat balls have veges in them & our sauces have heaps of different veges in every one.
We eat Veggies every night... and salad in the summer
DH is one of those people that can eat and eat rubbish and put on no weight (and still has perfect cholesterol)... You wouldnt believe what he can live on, its scary
So we have at least 3 veggies with every evening meal and i try and hide them in other things, so even though he thinks that there is only zucchini carrot and broccoli (for example) on his plate there is very often another 1 or 2 veggies in the meal that he is unaware of ;)
Spag bol is the best, i usually have 7-10 veggies hidden in there as it is all pureed before the meat goes in (its amazing what a barmix can hide :redface:).
Usually i dont count potato as a veggie (i know it is, but i count it as the carb, like the rice or the pasta component), so if we have potato there is at least 4 visible on the plate.
I also make banana bread really regularly (no fat or sugar)... Veggie muffins sound good - could you PM me the recipe or put it in here Christy?
Takeaway is the exception, but we normally have a veggie pizza with Salami or Thai and there is always veggies in that too
we have vegies every nite min of 5 my boys love them
We have vegies at least 6 nights a week. If we have takeaway we don't, but thats onle every few weeks.
My kids have either banana, apple or cut up capsicum as a snack through the day & recess at school.
I add peas, corn & carrot to my spag bol.
Fetticini is probably the only thing I cook with out vegies in it.
We have salad with either a BBQ chook or BBQ every 2 - 3 weeks too.
My girls love friut & vegies.
i did the hide the vegies in the spag bol and my DH was horrified!! :lol:
Lol!! Its my DH who INSISTS we have vegies every night.
Did you tell him? MY DH was non the wiser until he saw me cook it one day... he was about to protest until i told him it was the same as he had been eating for years....:
Now he thinks its funny when i serve it to other people that 'hate' veggies and they love it
no didnt tell him, he noticed the grated carrot and zuchinni, my DH wont eat anything orange! weirdo!
