Quick Notes about the Recipes in the List
Honestly, I just wanted to add more veggies to my diet, so I chose some of our family’s favorite vegetable recipes. Some feature veggies as the main ingredient, while others just benefit from having vegetables added in.
Well, technically potatoes are vegetables. And it turns out that they have a decent amount of nutritional value when they’re not cooked up as french fries. So I kept them on the list.
Apparently, they’re not?! It turns out that squash are actually fruits.
However, I decided to keep them in this list because my kids all call them vegetables, and I still think of them as vegetables. (I guess since they’re savory?) Plus, they’re still healthy so I wanted to add them.
