The kid NEEDS an allowance!
Mama Kim at Moms at Work has some great suggestions for making sure your high-schooler gets his/her daily allowance of vegetables.
Under the category of why-didn't-I-think-of-that comes the tip to create a Chopsticks night. "Asian cuisine is so vegetable friendly, you won’t need to do as much persuading. And soy sauce makes everything better. (Just make sure it’s low sodium!)," writes Kim.
Check out the six suggestions and you smart mamas and papas out there share your tips for getting the kids to inhale vegetables.

There are many ways to sneak in vegetables-Homemade pizza night-(kids will always eat what they help make!) Puree them in soup, stews or cut them up and provide them with a variety of dips-peanut butter, yogurt, ect.
Our kids love when my husband makes carrots and oranges, which is just shredded carrots and fresh oranges, with a little orange juice.
You can also hide anything in an empanada, just buy the frozen wraps and combine with ground beef and a variety of vegetables.
