Did anyone else grow up with your parents making you eat your veggies?! Do you make your kids eat their 
veggies? I’ve compiled this vegetable recipe round-up of amazing veggie recipes to help you out!
Eating Your Veggies
I remember when I was growing up, my parents always had vegetables at every meal. We had the staples of green beans, corn (which I now know really isn’t a vegetable), and carrots! I HATE cooked carrots. When I was little, my mom would put carrots in with the potatoes and roast on Sundays for dinner after church. I always had to eat two bites of cooked carrots, it was the rule in our house. Same with beets, yack! However, now I love eating veggies and usually can’t get enough of them! My favorites are broccoli, asparagus, & chopped salads with cabbage and more in them!
Recipe Round-Up
The older I get, the busier I am and I appreciate recipe round-up posts so I can have links to SEVERAL posts all in one place. Since it’s National Eat Your Veggies day, I thought what better reason than that to create this round-up! Several of my fellow Iowa bloggers have shared their very best veggie recipes with me to share with you! There is a big variety and I’m sure you’re bound to find something everyone in your house will love.

Val’s overnight salad is the best- but I think part of the reason is their homemade bacon. That veggie egg bake looks like something we should make soon.
I agree that Val’s salad is the best!! I haven’t made the veggie egg bake in quite awhile and think I need to sop!
Thanks ladies! All of these recipes sound so good and I appreciate you including a couple of my own Katy!

I am a meat eater and my wife and daughter are vegan nevertheless I do like to have a healthy salad. I especially like to have my greens several times a week thanks to my wife and daughter! I have to admit I love meat ande I don’t know if I can really convert to a vegan diet!
I love meat too and am definitely not a vegan! It’s great to get some greens in your diet as well!!
