If you do one thing this week... Employ secret nutrition
As many parents know, sometimes you have to pick your battles at the dinner table.
But if kids put up their shields against the fruit and vegetables, don’t fret: there are some guerrilla tactics that can help sneak the greens (and reds and oranges and yellows) in under the radar.

To make bolognese sauce try whizzing tomatoes, sauteed onions and garlic, herbs, peppers and even mushrooms into a food mixer with a little pesto before adding it to dry-fried mince and cooking. The result? Invisible veggies.
Smoothies also provide a popular camouflage technique, particularly coming into summer when fresh berries can be easily blended up into a drink with bananas, yogurt and orange juice.
