how to buy things and be polite . When I make a rare solo trip to the market , our regular booths ask where my helpers are . Being involved with food gathering is just another way they are part of the food system — helping to prepare the food is another important topic for another day .
All that to say — hide the veggies under the pizza cheese if you must , mix the spinach into the smoothie if you think it will work — but in my experience , the best way to create a lasting affection for healthy food is to involve your kids in the food community , be that your garden , a CSA , or your local market .

Farm fresh veggies everyone loves !
Cut the farm market vegetables you have gathered — like butternut squash or carrots — into bite-size pieces .
Stir on a baking sheet with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste .
Cook on 375 o until well roasted . Oven time varies with the vegetable of choice .
