Both get a fair run in these parts. A friend came over and was cooking tea* and learned all about the chopping board entree. My sister in law confessed a few years ago that she'd been grating zucchini into meals for years, to hide it from my brother. Her kids are less fussy. * Sometimes she comes over and I cook, sometimes she comes over and she cooks, we don't go to her place because it's more fun for everyone if we put the toddler in bed at home.

Just don't let them see you do it. About eating salad from the maternal bowl, my slightly older two enjoy raw veg when it is stolen from the chopping board. It is quite a skill to chop faster than they can steal without lopping off any thieving fingers. If you are making the spagh bol with meat you can grate a zucchini into it.

I was actually surprised to read your recipe and then think: "Woah, that sounds good!" I mean that as compliment, just in case it's been perceived differently. :) Oh, and Ampersand Duck - that's a good idea! But I suppose it depends on WHICH color you attach to each day (purple, for example, would not be a good color ;)) E. As a rather finicky eater myself (not the best of traits, but what’s one to do?)
