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!
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.
