Sneaky Saturday - Spaghetti Sauce

Being the frugal mom that I am, I always buy the least expensive Spaghetti sauce that Walmart has (which happens to be Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce). Being the sneaky mom that I am I have found Spaghetti Sauce to be the best place to sneak in the veggies.
Now I can't take credit for this recipe because really it was my husband who first experimented with it.

Ingredients:
1 26 oz. can Hunt's Garlic and Herb or Traditional Spaghetti sauce
1 cup veggie puree (Try 1/2 cup spinach and 1/2 cup sweet potato or 1/2 cup zucchini and 1/2 cup carrot or 1/2 cup yellow squash, 1/4 cup zucchini, and 1/4 cup spinach really any combination will work)
12-15 meatballs (I buy the Costco brand)
1 T. basil
1 t. savory
1 t.sugar

Mix all ingredients into pot and simmer for 20 - 25 mins.

My boys (ages 4 and 2) love this pasta sauce and I love that they are getting some much needed nutrients. We served this over Ravioli (the spinach kind from Costco) and rotini pasta with a side of steamed broccoli. The meal took less than 30 mins and was delicious!

Sneaky Saturday - Orange Beef Recipe

I have made this recipe twice now and absolutely love it! Not only is it delicious but it only has 457 calories per serving and is packed with Dietary Fiber, Vitamin B6 and Potassium from the sneaky sweet potato puree.
When I made it the first time the veggies were too crisp for my family's taste and the sauce was bitter. So I tweaked it a little and now it is perfect for us. I served this with sneaky brown rice, also from the Double Delicious cookbook. (I'll share my tweaked version of the brown rice once I've perfected it).
Here is the original Orange Beef Recipe from the Double Delicious Cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld. As you can see I wrote in my improvements.
