Green Chicken and Dumplings

I was at Costco the other day and stopped at the Vitamix demonstration.

I was impressed, he made lime sorbet with spinach, that you would never know was there.  

This got my little brain to thinking.  I am always trying to hide veggies in my kids food (most of them won't eat it if they can see it).  I have put grated zucchini in things for years.  This guy was making desserts and soups that were yummy and packed with fresh veggies.

I dragged Trip back the next day, to show him, and bought one.  Now, I am blending up veggies and putting them in even more things.  Only I have to pay more attention to the colors.  I blended kale and green onion and put in our chicken and dumplings.  It tasted great, but it wasn't very well hidden.  I loved it any way and I figure, if I keep at it, eventually, green won't faze them.

Here is another soup I have made.  Look at all those vegetables.  Normally I use fresh carrots but I was out, so I dumped in a can of mixed vegetables.  This was some of their favorite soup yet.  (Ok, only for O and R)

Here it is after.

This makes a yummy smoothie.
