Best veggie recipes for picky children?

I have to cook for a number of palates and taste buds. Some of my kids are proud vegetarians but don't seem to like vegetables. Though we use many mock meat products- especially from oriental markets, there are periods between paychecks where I just have to invent something from the supplies on hand.





Do you have any kiddie friendly vegetarian recipes you can suggest? Thanks!Best veggie recipes for picky children?
I am a vegetarian. We make loads of fun things. I like to add color to rice sometimes along with grated veggies to make it more appealing to kids. u can use tomato paste or boiled and pureed beetroot fr red, spinach puree for green, or turmeric powder fr yellow color.





There r different ways to make quesadilla fun. Use cookie cutters for quesadillas and sandwiches.





Pizza is always a hit. we use different kinds of breads in case we don't have dough. French bread, garlic bread, flat bread, pita, even tortillas make fun pizza bases.





there are numerous fun cshapes of pasta these days. I sautee lots of diced veggies and then add sauce and butter to boiled pasta to make it healthier.





If you can knead dough, the options increase manifold. knead whole wheat dough with water/ milk/ pureed veggies. roll it out thin and cook on both sids on pan with or without butter. you can even stuff it (roll a little, place some mashed boiled potato or grated onion and seal the roll out again)Best veggie recipes for picky children?
Most kids Love Pasta and it is a Cheap meal ..





I have 4 sisters and my Mom made pasta maybe 4 days a week , sometimes just spaghetti w/ marinara sauce ..other times she would add things like cooked veggies or beans ..





Another dish you can make is rice , add veggie broth instead of water , add 1 sliced onion , add 1 tablespoon curry powder and cook rice as directed ..it is delicious ..





then make bean burritos to go with this ..Also very easy and cheap to make , with lettuce and tomato ..





any kind of veggie lasagna with spinach





also try a mild curry veggie dish over rice





and try frying veggies as cauliflower in olive oil ... has a whole new taste just add S%26amp;P as a side dish





last make some fun Avocado , lettuce, tomato sandwich or sauteed veggie sandwiches ..





it is really not hard once you get going
