always have a salad and carrots with lots of dressing choices on the table - kids get used to it and eventually start eating it!

I replace ground beef with ground turkey. My family never even notices the difference & I feel better about what I'm feeding my family!

I sneak vegetables into most everything (we've even made ice cream with vegetables snuck in and noone knew except for me :P ) We also use applesauce in cake mixes to replace some of the oil that's called for.

I use a lot of fruit that we dip in fat free whipped topping for low-cal desserts. Love to make oven baked fries using white and sweet potatoes.

I've been adding fine chopped veggies to our spaghetti sauces and making fruit and yogurt desserts as a treat every now and again.

I hide veggies where I can -- I have been known to puree them and hide them!! We are also eating more ground turkey/chicken instead of ground beef!!

We use a lot of Nonfat soy flavored milks, applesauce when baking, lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Lean Lean Lean cuts of meat. Baked, not fried alternatives, veggie pastas (gluten free), egg whites where possible, low fat yogurts with fresh fruit for desserts. Just heart healthy better alternatives for my family of 7.

I feed my family food that has been disguised as unhealthy. Burgers with ground turkey, fries that are baked sweet potatoes and lots of fun vegetables.

I always incorporate at least 2 veggies into every meal. Sometimes we have veggie night with no meat. I also search for low calorie recipes at my favorite recipe site recipezaar.com. Thanks!
