[quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to share this simple (but ingenious!) idea I got from my friend to get kids to eat more veggies.

Just have a veggie platter in the fridge always ready to go with some low fat ranch dressing and/or hummus.  I put it on the table before and during lunch and dinner.  When I'm fixing dinner and they start whining that they are STARVING, I just put the veggies out and they go to town on them!  It's nice for me because I rarely have to steam or roast a veggie.  Costco has a huge veggie platter for $10.  Totally worth the money, but I usually buy and chop the veggies myself so we have some variety.  My friend did this when we stayed with them in a beach house.  the kids came in from swimming and swarmed around the veggies.  I was in awe, so I came home and got in the habit.  It's such a simple idea, and we all serve these veggie trays at parties/picnics.  But it never ocurred to me to make it a staple in our fridge!

It's been so helpful for me, I just had to share![/quote]
