To deviously deceive my DCs...

[JustBeachy]

By roasting cubes of potato and parsnip the same size? They ate the lot!! and parsnip would normally illicit the "Ewwwwww...dis-GUS-ting!!!!" response.

I am feeling very smug

It's people like you that need to be reported to Social Services. Forcing your poor DCs to eat veggies!!!

Can I suggest celeriac in mash.

Well done Beachy

You.... you monster!!

and cauliflower in mashed potato

pureed carrot/butternut squash/peppers in bolognese sauce

YANBU.....it's good for them

and you for the smug factor alone

Ooooh, good for you - now tell me how to disguise whole tomatoes and mushrooms!!!

We have given my DSDs sweet potato, swede and parsnip by mixing it in with regular mash. Really tasty actually :)

never got as far as disguising mushrooms i'm afraid...but a splat of creme fraiche changes the colour and texture of the tommy sauce [am evil mum and been at this for years smiley]

Ooh I love parsnip! Can I have some?

My DD would never let me get away with that - she can detect a lurking parsnip (or any root vegetable other than potatoes) at a distance of half a mile, blindfolded, with a clothes peg on her nose.

whereas i need to hide the meat in the veg My DS will only eat fruit and veg!!

but no, YANBU!

Grate the mushrooms mimps, my sis is 'allergic' to mushrooms as they make her sick, it is amazing she is never sick after eating in my house

Haha - we are all devious vegetable smugglers!

If your kids like lasagna/spag bol may I suggest whizzing any veggies left in the fridge to dust in a food processor with the onions and frying it up into the bol sauce, almost anything that is not green disguises beautifully... mwahahahaha
