    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 ).

    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 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.

    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
