I find that if I prepare fruits and vegetables when I bring them home I'm more likely to eat them. It can be as simple as slicing things, or even preparing salads in a sealable plastic bowl.
Two of my favorites are pasta salad and taco salad:
Boil tri-colored spiral pasta and add to greens, lettuce, green peper, cucumber, tomato, olives, pepperoni, whatever else you like and add a good italian dressing. (adding fresh basil also really livens up this salad)
Taco Salad: brown hamburger and chill, add kidney beans, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, chunks of cheddar or colby cheese, green onion, fritos corn chips, then add the orange dressing (catalina I think?) If you store it for very long the chips get soggy, so you may just want to add them as you eat the salad.
ALso when I have veggies that are getting a little to ripe to eat fresh, or I have left over can veggies I throw them in my crock pot and make soup. Celery, carrots and onion go good with chicken, and tomatoes, celery, carrots, onion, green beans go good with beef. I also like to add barley to beef soup instead of pasta. (I have found that spinach is not a good soup vegetable, it way overpowers the flavor)
