Kid-proof Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce

There are some things my kids simply refuse to eat.  So how do you get them to eat it anyways?  My answer is to hide it in their food.  Some will argue that they need to learn to eat it as is, and that's the end of the story.  I sort of agree, which is why I keep serving these things over and over again, and they still refuse to eat them.  So until I am successful, I will keep hiding it in their food.  Earlier this week, I shared my muffin recipe with spinach and today I am sharing my spaghetti sauce with some of the vegetables they refuse to eat cooked, and some they simply won't put in their mouths.
