    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?

    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!
