The new year has begun! If you’re like most people, you’ve probably set some New Year’s resolutions. One of the most common goals is to get healthy. Especially working at home, that often involves prolonged sitting, being healthy is a crucial part of success.

When you have picky children and still want to eat healthy family meals, you get creative with how to present the veggies. One of the easiest ways is to puree and blend into sides, soups, sauces, smoothies and other dishes. Here are some of my favorites:

cauliflower mashed potatoes
butternut squash mac and cheese
sweet potato chili
avocado egg salad
eggplant spaghetti
carrot and bell pepper sloppy joes.
