We started w/ homemade green bean purees--we skipped rice cereal/oatmeal cereal all together and just started green beans this week. I've always heard to start w/ green veggies b/c if you start w/ sweet things it may take them a while to warm up to green veggies...granted I think this is probably just another one of the old wives tales kind of things...but who knows, we had green beans for dinner so thats what DS started w/ :-) We will probably try maybe carrots next or peas...dunno

The stage 1's sold in jars are:

peas

green beans

carrots

sweet potatoes

squash

apples

pears

peaches

bananas

prunes - if your LO has constipation issues

I started both of mine with a fruit, then alternated a veggie, a fruit, a veggie, a fruit, etc. I never had a problem getting them to eat greens. In fact my DD likes green beans over any of the fruits.

Avacado and banana is what we did with Brady...no cooking required!  We plan to do the same with Luke.

Our pedi recommended orange veggies first so we've done sweet potatoes and carrots.  I just made some butternut squash today to try on Tuesday.  The pedi also recommended once a day at night.  We give him his veggies at about 630 pm.
