Since I've seen this recipe, I have made it 3 times. Once for my whole, big family, and twice for my little family of 4 (well 3 cause Lu can't eat it yet!).
Each time everyone loved it and had no idea it was packed with veggies!
I only changed a few things to make it work for my family.

Hi, Erin. We just had sloppy joes last night.:) I love sneaking in healthy things like carrots and zucchini, but I haven't done that yet with sloppy joes. I should have seen this before I made supper last night. I did add a tablespoon of milled flax seed. My original recipe also called for ketchup, but I started substituting tomato sauce because ketchup has a lot of sugar in it. Have you ever tried that?
ReplyDeleteErin, this is fantastic! I love the fact that this healthy version has carrots and zucchini. Definitely going to have to try this out with my crew!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a part of "A Little Birdie Told Me..." Tuesday at Rook No. 17. I really appreciate the "flavor" that your posts add to the party!
