Last year, I started putting chopped cauliflower into my tomato with meat sauce. It looks and tasted just like ground beef. When my children were young, I put whole carrots in meatloaf, laid lengthwise nestled among the meat. When sliced, there were pretty orange rounds, which they loved. I recall my husband telling me that his doctor once asked if he ate 8-9 (not sure of the exact numbers) vegetables a day. My husband answered, "Well, no." But later told the doctor "When my wife makes pasta salad, she puts a lot of vegetables in it."
