One of the reasons why spring’s arrival is always welcome is the abundance of fresh vegetables that become available. We all know eating a healthy and balanced diet is a must, but it can be very hard to get everyone to eat their vegetables. Instead of just serving them as a side dish, incorporate fresh vegetables into your dinner menu so they become a part of the main dish. Easy to prepare, these vegetable-packed dinner ideas are so good your family won’t realize they’re eating their veggies.
