Arthur "Baboon" is enjoying quiet time at home.

The latest recommendation from the new dietary guidelines released by the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services is 9 servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Nine servings translate to about 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables. We all know fruits and vegetables are good for us, but how do we go about getting nine servings every day?

According to experts:

• It takes constantly reminding yourself to eat fruits and vegetables.

• It takes having fruit and veggies available at every turn -- at work, at home, in restaurants.

• It takes making it easy for yourself, because most people today are beyond busy.

• If you haven't been accustomed to eating much produce, it takes starting small -- maybe going for one serving a day at first -- and staying the path.

With all this in mind, here are 12 surefire ways to get you on the road to enjoying fruits and vegetables several times a day.

1. Make fruit salad.

2. Toss some fruit into your breakfast whether you're having a smoothie, pancakes, French toast, or hot or cold cereal.

3. Throw some veggies in the skillet with your omelet.

4. Crunch on a green salad.

5. Pair fruit with cheese or peanut butter for a snack.

6. Add veggies you like to dishes you love.

A few examples:

• Layer zucchini slices into your lasagna.

• Stir broccoli florets into macaroni and cheese.

• Slide some veggies into a cheese quesadilla.

• Add veggies to tuna salad.

7. Spoon up some soup. Choose soups that are bursting with vegetables.

8. Drink your vegetables. V-8 or carrot juice equals a serving of vegetables.

9. Vegi-fy your pizza.

10. Toss some on the grill and make veggie kabobs.

11. Serve your veggies raw. When you have a platter of assorted raw vegetables and some delicious low-fat dip in front of you, the vegetables just seem to disappear!

12. Have prepared fruits and veggies ready to go in the fridge. As soon as you get home from the store, rinse all the fruit and veggies and put some out for immediate consumption. The rest goes into easy-access clear plastic bags or containers. Then, when you’re hungry, it is easy to grab fruit before you go rummaging around for chips.

There are many unique ways you can include more vegetables in your diet. Make "rice" and "buns" with vegetables, or incorporate them into common dishes, such as casseroles and soups.
