Seriously. What veggies will they eat??

kgail11 · August 2009

DS refuses everything except the potato/sweet potato variety of veggies. Any no-fail options??

Judah'sMommy · August 2009

DS loves peas. They are sweet so maybe a good option?

ds loves peas and broccoli

Krissi~n~Justin · August 2009

Elyse favs are beets, zucchini, cauliflower (with cheese). She'll eat veggies before anything else (unless it's steak) Dosen't like broccoli or asparagus at all!

Mama Jan · August 2009

sauteed zucchini and roasted asparagus - although he actually refused zucchini the other day...

My DS loves peas and carrots

DD loves peas and will eat most other veggies that are cooked in a dish (e.g. mushrooms, tomatoes in a stew).

NONE!

I have just made two recipes from the 'deceptively delicious' cookbook (by Jessica Seinfeld). The Mac & Cheese has squash puree in it, and the meatloaf has carrots, onion & celery....both DH and DD gobbled it up (DD comes by her 'no veggie' thing honestly!). It's a bit of a pain, but it works...and the rest of the recipes are great too!

dd loves carrots and snap peas, probably cause they're sweeter. she also likes tomatoes, corn, edamame, zucchini, and roasted red pepper.

If your DC likes sweet potatoes, try...

carrots. Then carrots with other things mixed in.

butternut or acorn squash

It may be the texture. Try mashing other veggies so they are the same consistancy as the sweet potatoes.

Mix other veggies in with the sweet potatoes so LO gets used to the flavor.

Does your DC eat pasta? Try cooking little pieces of zucchini/bell peppers/tomatoes/etc (pick ONE) in with the pasta. S/he probably won't even notice it.

You can mix a spinach puree in with pretty much anything without a kid noticing. Especially things like tomato sauces.

When DS is being picky, we make him 'quesadillas' with whatever meat/veggie we're eating. Somehow, if it's in a tortilla, he'll eat it! Kind of like hiding food, but once it's all cut up, he sees it. Still, he eats it!

Cucumbers!

DD is a fruit face - I swear she's 85% fruit. But she'll eat cucumbers most of the time. Other options that sometimes work are sweet corn, yellow beans, and cherry tomatoes.

I do this too.

Interestingly, all vegetables that are technically classified as "fruits." :P

Peas, broccoli, and carrots seem to go over well at our house.

Frozen peas. Not sure if it is because of teething but she won't eat the canned ones. But she will eat the frozen ones.

eep9906 · August 2009

The only way I can get DS to eat veggies is if I hide them in scrambled eggs or in quesadillas. He loves fruit but it's so hard to get him to eat veggies. DS loves this zucchini patty recipe: https://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Zucchini-Patties/Detail.aspx. He also likes veggie burgers. I got the Deceptively Delicious cook book but I haven't had time to make many of the recipes.

DD loves it all - carrots, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans, etc. All the standard stuff. We normally buy frozen and just steam them. Sometimes I put spray I can't believe it's not butter or whatever on it, but sometimes plain. Maybe if you hide them inside of something?

mlberryhill · August 2009

DS love tomatoes! Cucumber and any other fresh veg are his favorites.

lite-bright · August 2009

I make broccoli, rice and cheese casserole that DD gobbles up like crazy. Recipe is in my blog; link in siggy.

Also, Horizon has a new kiddie yogurt that combines fruit and veggies. We tried the apple/butternut squash and DD loved it. They also do strawberry/carrot.

DD also loves to eat veggies when they're in chicken pot pie or shepherd's pie, rather than just plain on her plate.

DD adores beets. Super messy, but she gobbles them right up.
