You must be like Jerry Seinfeld's wife...hiding grated veggies in your food so that Ryan will eat them. ;) Or maybe he's grown up and actually likes vegetables now... Regardless, it sounds like you're finding really great ways to use all of those vegetables. Maybe you could stay with us for a week or so and cook?! I'm no good at it.
