The other night my 2.5 year old ate nothing but roasted carrots for dinner, but that was definitely an exception!

We always have at least one veggie at dinner, and their are definitely many nights where one or both kids don't eat any of them. But they eat plenty of meat, dairy, fruit, and whole grains so it doesn't stress me out too much. And then I am pleasantly surprised when one wants to eat all of the roasted carrots (or whatever the vegetable du jour is) we've cooked

She definitely eats more fruit/carbs/dairy than anything else, but pretty reliably will eat broccoli, carrots, peas, or zucchini. And tomato sauce. and potatoes of course! other things are less reliable (sometimes she likes mushrooms), but she will never eat cooked greens or peppers. She eats better at daycare in general, so we always send her in with lots of veggies!

They are hit or miss, broccoli is always good, sometimes green beans (usually the canned kind). Other than that it's taste and spit out or fight for a bite.

We let the 2 yr old eat a half of an avocado with his dinner. Not a veggie but I feel like it at least has good nutrients.

They will eat most green veggies with no problem. It's always a struggle or hit or miss with the others.

It's rare.

Lo1 is good with broccoli, carrots, squash of different types, and sweet potatoes and tolerates peas, green beans, and corn (although I guess that's a starch). She'll eat spinach that's chopped pretty fine in other things like in an omelet.

Xander (3) is really good about eating carrots, but that's the only vegetable he's consistent with.

Logan (17m) won't eat any at all unless they're in a pouch with fruit.

They both will eat almost any vegetable and love salads. But they also both potty trained themselves with 0 effort from mom and dad so I have some luck with these typical tough issues apparently.

Once she hit 3 she suddenly hated veggies where she used to love them

The only veggies she eats well are corn, pickles (I count them!), cucumbers, and roasted cauliflower and sometimes broccoli (sometimes she eats a plate full and other times she will only take a few bites). She tolerates carrots. All other veggies we have to tell her to take a few bites of

DS hates all green vegetables. Actually right now the only vegetables he will happily eat are when we are preparing food. Once it's in the meal his interest is gone. I don't try hard enough to make him earth vegetables at lunch. At supper we give him a tiny portion of what we are eating and expect him to finish it before he can get down.

They will both eat mounds of cauliflower and broccoli but that's about it. A few pickles here and there.
I can usually get a bunch past them when roasted and mixed in with tomato sauce on top of pasta.

I suspect my DD may be a vegetarian. She's only 15 months but devours all veggies I give her and turns her nose up at meat.

@Meowkers: The only meat my LO will eat is turkey bacon and chicken mcnuggets (which lets be honest, are not really meat ha!) so we often joke that she's a vegetarian in the making!

I think LO is an “okay” veggie-eater for her age. She will hardly eat any meat, so I wish she ate more veggies, but it is what it is. This too shall pass

She will reliably always eat:

Sweet peppers
Peas
Corn
Cooked carrots (won’t eat raw ones)
Cooked golden beets (won’t usually eat purple/red ones)
Cooked broccoli (you guessed it, won’t eat it raw haha)
Potatoes (only as French fries or mashed potatoes)

She will also eat Caesar salad and baby lettuce/greens mixes usually.

She loves veggies. She will not eat chicken of any kind (even chicken nuggets) or french fries. If she didn't look like me I'd think she was switched at birth.

The only veggies my 3yo will eat are corn and peas. Sometimes. And my sister LOVES to remind me those aren't veggies. *eyeroll* I serve veggies every night with dinner, and we ask him to try at least one bite. I'm sure eventually he'll come around.

ETA: He will eat spiralized zoodles. And he will eat cherry tomatoes with ranch ("branch") as snacks.
