Veggie Poll

What is your LOs favorite veggie and how do you prepare it? What is your LOs least favorite veggie and how do you get (read: trick) LO to eat it?

 

Ds loves carrots. He loves roasted carrot "fries" that I toss with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. Then I put them on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 mins.  

Ds hates brococli though. I've only been successful if it has been smothered in cheese, but recently I coated steamed brocoli in crushed Rice Krispies and he actually ate a whole serving.

DS loves asparagus and usually eats it steamed or roasted. He does not like carrots, so I puree them and mix them in with pasta.

For the most part, DD likes almost all veggies that she's tried - peas, corn, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, green beans.  I don't really do anything special, I just make them bland with maybe a little butter and put them on her plate with everything else and she usually eats them.  Guess I'm no help lol.

Try frozen broccoli! I recently did this while LO was teething and she chowed down on them. We called them broccoli ice and now she asks for "ice" 

She is so random with food - one day she will love roasted sweet potatoes, and then the next hate them. she really does not like green beans though, and generally likes asparagus and sweet potato.

My DD is the same way.  I think I have the only toddler whose favorite food is Lima beans LOL.  Because of this, if she does not like something I don?t make her eat it because I know she is getting a lot of fruit and veggies because she has one to two servings with every meal.

DS loves peas, corn and lima beans.  He hates brocolli, cauliflower and everything else.  LOL.  Typically I buy those pouch things that have mixed fruit and veggies.  We call them "applesauce".

A few he eats just steamed: corn, peas, broccoli; a few he eats cooked in soups/pot pies etc: carrots, sweet potatoes, celery; and some I hide in baked goods: pumpkin, zucchini. The kid hates green beans and will not eat them in any form.

I have to hide it in yogurt or applesauce.

Carter loves all veggies.  His favorites are green beans and broccoli.  I'm lucky to not have to hide them at all.  He eats them up, sometimes he only eats his veggies and I have a hard time getting him to eat the other stuff on his plate.
