Need veggie recipes, also salad question

We really need to eat more veggies.  I have seriously slacked off since we moved.  Any recipes that we would all enjoy?

Also, do you buy the bagged salad?  I have not bought it in a long time, especially since they had all the salmonella concerns.  But I thought it would be an easy way to try to get the boys their veggies once/day.  We have a lot of evening activities this fall, and I work 3 days/week.  If so, what kind do you buy?

    My kids mostly like raw veggies: carrots, broccoli, peppers, cucumber. I make potatoes, corn, and black beans pretty frequently; and serve salad with dinner a few times per week. Occasionally I buy the bagged salad, but usually I get a pack of organic romaine and make my own salads.

    Roasted sweet potatoes are a big hit with my picky toddler. I prefer them savory with a bit of garlic powder but you can also make them sweet with honey/cinnamon/maple syrup etc. Roasted butternut squash too.

    Usually DS will only eat carrots cooked (steamed specifically) but I made a grated carrot/raisin salad the other day that he liked. I just used some orange juice and olive oil as dressing as he can't have mayo

    I also use the food processor to finely chop carrots, onion and bell pepper as a base. Sometimes zucchini too. I sauté that and use in chili, meat sauce etc. Once you add in ground turkey or beef you don't even notice the vegetables.

    I've been roasting them lately and we can't get enough. Just drizzle some olive oil, press some garlic, add some Italian seasoning.... heaven!

    For salad I usually buy a pack of romaine hearts and a container of mixed greens. Then I mix the two.
