With the cold weather settling in, dinners at our house are usually hearty and wholesome. I’m talking meat and potatoes, and sometimes tomatoes and other veggies too.
I know I’ve probably admitted this before, but I’m not a fan of hiding veggies. While the sneaky route may work for many families, over here, I’m a big believer in doing what you can to expose the good stuff and see where it gets you. Kids will surprise you.
Tomatoes are an ingredient I’ve found myself including in recipes lately, more often than not. We all know there are healthy benefits to tomatoes, but specifically, they’re a great source of fiber, Vitamin C and the antioxidant lycopene, not to mention they’re said to be good for your heart.
And in the height of sick season, I’ll take all the vitamin C and antioxidants we can get.
