Basically, I followed the directions on the package to heat it, except I added my veggie boost after the first heat up. To do this I moved the food to a microwave-safe bowl dish with a lid, added the veggies and stirred and then finished the heating process as directed. The veggies helped make the meal more filling and added nutritional value.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week I served spinach and asparagus to my kids with dinner. All three hesitated at all that new green stuff. When I told the boys that the asparagus might make their pee-pee smell kinda crazy, they had to have some! This was pretty funny at dinner, but a little embarrassing as they told their friends at school the next morning in front of the parents. Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>So, sorry I don&#8217;t have a creative salad for you, but I hope I&#8217;ve given you some ideas for increasing your veggie intake, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-207\" title=\"momflower\" src=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/momflower.jpg\" alt=\"momflower\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I didn&#8217;t eat much salad.
