I rely on my blender to help me out in getting veggies into the foods I cook for my hubby. I'm sure if he had any idea that his hearty mac & cheese actually had cauliflower mixed into the cheese sauce he would complain. But this way I know we are both getting veggies we need and I don't have to listen to him. I also like to add vegetable cocktail to a lot of the soups I make to bump up the veggie ratio.

I'm a vegan so I really don't need to work on getting more veggies into my diet. That said, my husband is a "meat 'n' potatoes" guy! I add grated veggies like carrots and zucchini to his meatloaf & burgers. I also add shredded carrot, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms and what ever else I can find in the fridge into his spaghetti, chili etc. I also have an awesome zucchini chocolate cake recipe that he loves! Omit the chocolate and add pineapple, cinnamon & nutmeg and you get an awesome spice cake!

I like to use pre-packaged salad mixes, avoiding those with iceberg lettuce. I add whatever fresh vegetables I have on hand, such as avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. Another easy way to get a serving of veggies is by drinking a glass of vegetable juice every day. I especially enjoy the low-sodium V8.

Juicing is the best way to maximize your veggie intake. After you juice, you can save the dry 'pulp' and add it to baking recipes - like carrot loaf!

As I have IBS getting fibre filled fruit and veg. into my diet is difficult but butternut squash soup which is basically pureed, is perfect and very delicious !!!

A vegetable cocktail is one way I enjoy getting my veggies...I always say to my girls, "Can't you JUST TASTE the vitamins!!"? :D

We enjoy rolled oats served with fresh or frozen fruits and chopped nuts ebery morning.Our lunches usually are a salad with grated ham and cheese.And our dinners are light stir fry,maybe a bowl of homemade vegetable beef barley soup.Always have cut up carrot and celery sticks in the fridge.We don't usually eat dessert but we do enjoy an apple sliced ready to dip into peanut butter.Always keep a bag of frozen fruit in the freezer for a smoothie treat.And now the make juice with 1 serving of fruit and vegetable in a glass that you could put in a travell cup for on your way to work.

When making pasta sauce, throw in chunks of carrots, zucchini, green & red peppers, celery and spinach in the last 1/2 hour of cooking. Even if they don't eat the veggies, the sauce is chockfull of nutrients ! You can even blend it to a pulp with the sauce. This is what I did for my son who hates veggies.

Snacking on the unusuals -- beans, radishes (fresh from my garden!) snap peas, regular peas, truly anything that crunches instead of chips has been working for me lately. Try to stay away from the carrots and the celery if only because they're the usual "go-tos" and are familiar tastes.

I make sure I have veggies in 2 meals (lunch & dinner) as well as at least one snack a day. I switch it up between fresh spinach, asparagus, peppers, mushrooms, onions and always keep a mixed bag of frozen veggies in the freezer for quick stir fries.

I use organic blended vegetable soups as a base and then add other vegetables, chicken and pasta to it. Our family favorite is Butternut Squash, which tastes great, adds lots of flavor and is a wonderful way to get the rest of my family to eat their squash!

I add finely chopped carrots and spinach and\or cilantro to the rest of the ingredients for my hummus before processing it in my food processor.
