    I puree certain types of veggies and mix them into things like spaghetti sauce and mac & cheese. The kids never know!

    I make more salads with fresh veggies than I used to. I try to sneak fruit into my husband's diet as he is not a fruit person.

    their Peas are great to add in any soup, I hate peas, but I can usually eat them in soups very well! Thanks for the great giveaway!

    I added my Corn tamales recipe to the sweeps and I would like to share it here as well. It is a very simple and delicious recipe and an alternative for all those who don't like meat tamales. You Only need the tamales masa mix prepare as directed , mix it with a can of Del Monte Canned Corn, spread the mix on the husks and fold them. Steam for about 1 hour, you can serve them with salsa or dip, I personally like them with the avocado dip
