How about starting off meals with a vegetable-packed soup like gazpacho, minestrone or tomato? When cooking, try sneaking veggies into just about everything. Finely chop them and fold them into pasta sauces, mashed potatoes, casseroles and rice and grain dishes.
At lunchtime, slide some roasted vegetables into a cheese, sliced chicken or hummus sandwich or sprinkle some on top of your pizza. Salads are also a great alternative. Toss up a heaping green salad filled with all kinds of fresh, crunchy veggies, and you've taken care of three servings in one sitting.
