Very Veggie Spaghetti!!
"I love this because you can substitue almost any veggies you want, and it's a good way to get kids to eat veggies too! My favorites are eggplant, zuccini, yellow squash, mushrooms, pepper, and carrots. Broccoli and cauliflower also work great!"

I was looking for a sauce that had eggplant and zucchini in it to feed a kid who only eats corn for a veggie. pinky kookie was nice enough to point this recipe out to me. I didn't have the mushrooms but I did have some purple peppers and used those. I was feeling really brave when I started but got nervous that Mr. Picky wouldn't eat it the way it was written because he has issues with texture. So I put everything in a food processor and chopped it as fine as I could. After sauteing I put it back in the processor and added a little water to puree. Then I made Easy, Speedy Spaghetti Sauce #56260, our usual sauce, and added 1/3 cup of the veggie puree. I put the rest in th freezer and will continue to add to our sauce until I can reach maximum veggie tolerance. Since I didn't get the puree super smooth Mr.Picky didn't love his spaghetti as much as normal but he ate it. The rest of my family loved it. I'm off to the farmers market now to get more zucchini and eggplant. Thank you! -
Really good and easy! I used puttanesca sauce and quinoa pasta. This is a great way to get more veggies in your diet. Thanks!

I live in MI with my family and am always on the lookout for new tasty recipes that even my toddler will like. He loves meat and pasta, most fruit and is getting better about veggies. I cook every meal 7 days a week, with the occasional lunch or dinner out (very occasional!) but I love cooking so it's not a bad thing to me.

<br>I am a big sweets eater and recently got an ice cream maker so I have been whipping up lots of ice cream. My favorite so far has been Ben and Jerry's heath bar crunch, it's so creamy and only lasts 2 days in this house! Other baked goods and homemade bread are favorites too, though not much bread gets baked in the summer.

<br>I hate doing dishes! We are currently house hunting and a dishwasher is a must (we don't have one right now). Luckily my dh is pretty good about helping out with the dishes :)

<br>I know it seems like I give lots of good reviews, but there is a good reason: I know what we like, so I pick dishes I think we will like, and often we do. If i give a review of a recipe with no stars it's because I think I did something wrong usually so that's why it didn't come out right. Or if something has excellent ratings and I don't like it, I don't want to ruin that, because obviously I didn't like something, but that's not a refection of the actual recipe!

<br>I dislike when people don't make the recipe correctly and give it a bad review. Ok, if you change one or two small things, fine, but if you make major changes, not ok. And when people give a bad review because it was good, but not what they are looking for? Sorry, but I don't get that. YOU picked it, if it tastes good but wasn't what you were looking for, not the recipe's fault :)
