Eat Your Veggies!

Golden Cauliflower

Would you like to introduce more vegetables into your family’s diet? Are you concerned that your kids (or maybe your spouse) won’t respond well if you do?

Of course, we’d all love it if our families ate vegetables without all kinds of bribes and incentives, just because it’s the right thing to do. Unfortunately, we’ve found that the folks we cook for don’t always eat with their own best interests in mind. If you’re in the same boat, check out these helpful tips for getting kids to eat more vegetables. (15 Ways to Get Your Kids to Eat Better) Then, see below for a slow-cooker cauliflower side dish we’re pretty sure will meet with the approval of even the most steadfast veggie-hater.
Let us know how you encourage your family to eat their vegetables!

    What brand of cheese sauce? I have never seen cheese sauce in a jar, so I am not sure what I am looking for. Thanks

      I think the cheese sauce is probably a product like Cheese Whiz.>

    Or maybe you could try something with a little kick, get a jar of the Tositos cheese
