Trying to add more vegetables into your diet? Want your family to eat more vegetables without complaining? These 25 Vegetable Loaded Dinner Recipes will do the trick!
When Thomas and I got married, we were young, we didn’t cook a lot, he was in the military and use to living off chow hall food and take out. He loved burgers, wings and steaks, I was in heaven with a giant bowl of mac and cheese, but I knew we couldn’t live like that forever. When I started to teach myself how to cook, I also gave myself a challenge. I was determined to get Thomas to eat vegetables and love them!
12 years later and I have beat the challenge! About 5 years ago or so, I got him to finally fall in love with vegetables after years of hiding them in his food and making them as side dishes only for them not to touch his plate. haha
Now he loves them and I couldn’t be happier. However, even though we both love them now, sometimes I need a little reminder to eat them more and get them on our dinner plates. That’s where these 25 Vegetable Loaded Dinner Recipes come in!
These 25 Vegetable Loaded Dinner Recipes are tasty, perfect for dinner and they’re packed with vegetables!

Thanks for these! I’m always looking for veggie heavy meals that my picky kiddo and husband will eat that aren’t necessarily vegetarian, low carb, gluten free, etc etc. Their priority is REAL food that TASTES good. Hard to find things they will actually eat on some of the healthy food sites. If they’ve never seen or heard of it before, chances are they aren’t going to touch it, not matter how “health conscious” it is.
