Veggie Sauce

This isn't the most original, but seeing as I'm sure my son would eat a stick if he had spaghetti sauce for it, we figured it was a good way to get him to eat veggies. We also did this since we cut out ketchup (even organic) since they're all loooooaaaaaded with sugar.
Veggie Sauce is a sneaky, easy way to get your picky eater to get veggies.
Take 1/2 c of an organic spaghetti or marinara sauce, and add to that one container (I use the Stage 2 size) of organic baby food- squash, carrots, sweet peas, ect.
Be warned that the greens turn the sauce a lil brownish, so if your child notices things like this, use a little less greens or a lil more spaghetti sauce to make it more red.
If you're just starting on the gfcf diet and are trying to sneak in veggies, start with a smaller amount (Stage 1) of baby food, or even less than that and work your way up.

Spaghetti Squash

Squish for dinner!
So I took the easy way out tonight.
Spaghetti squash is easy enough to cook- you can either cut it in half, clean out the "guts", and bake in a 375degree oven, cut side down, until tender, about 30-40 minutes.
You can also boil it or nuke it, but I've never done either so I can't say how it'd turn out.
I cook it whole-pierce it or your squash will go nuclear in your oven (not pretty).
After about an hour, take it out and let it cool. Chop it in half, clean out the guts, and there we have it-spaghetti squash. Separate the "strands" with a fork, I just scratch at it until it looks like spaghetti sitting in the shell.
Eat up! Tonight Q and I had it with Veggie Sauce-looks deceptively like spaghetti sauce. I use 1/2c organic spaghetti sauce and add a Stage2 size baby food jar of organic veggies (today was carrots), mix it well and use instead of regular spaghetti sauce. It's a good way to sneak in veggies.
