I find that most roasted veggies taste much better than when steamed. </p> <p>Also, this spinach dish is always a big hit around here. <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2011/03/the-best-baked-spinach/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2011/03/the-best-baked-spinach/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-cook-cook-suggestions#post-1983380 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 16:39:26 +0000 Ginabean3 1983380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: wonderful, I'll check that book out!

Sweet potatoes, carrots, squash and leafy greens work really well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-cook-cook-suggestions#post-1983225 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 11:21:29 +0000 Ginabean3 1983225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies, I've hit a wall with feeding my almost 22-month old. She used to be such a good eater and now, not so much. She is great with protein, carbs (what kid isn't?!), and certain fruits (berries, banana, pear). When it comes to green veggies though....its a battle! She used to eat all kinds of steamed green veggies but now refuses. So now I find myself having to hide it in stuff like spinach in smoothies, broccoli in quinoa bites, etc. I've run out of ideas! Has anyone ever used a good cookbook catering to toddlers and how to make creative veggie options? Bonus points if these are recipes I can make ahead in bulk and freeze!</p> <p>I'm willing to spend the time to try anything! :happy: </p>
