Find it hard to feed your family enough vegetables?

A book I picked up from the grocery store gave me a great idea.

Blend the veggies in a food processor and hide them in your favorite dishes: carrots in macaroni and cheese, beets in chocolate cake, cauliflower in mashed potatoes.

Try these yellow squash deviled eggs this Easter!
