I will also use spaghetti squash as noodles and she doesn't seem to notice (as long as it's covered in sauce.) </p> <p>I also used to call green beans and snap peas "green French fries" and she would gobble them up, at 2 that doesn't work anymore ;) But it did for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas#post-2011567 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 10:35:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 2011567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @greentea about roasting veggies. Makes them sweeter, which might appeal to your LO. I also had/have better luck with fresh veggies over frozen veggies too. </p> <p>At that age LO loved almost anything sautéed in some butter, with a little shake of parmesan cheese on top. Of course, what’s not to like about that method?! :silly: </p> <p>Another thought - do you experiment at all with spices/seasoning? LO is a much better eater of things that are well-seasoned with different spices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas#post-2011485 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 09:53:35 +0000 Tanjowen 2011485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Good idea about the meat and veggie options only. I guess the key is consistency! And the dogs will eat healthy if he tosses them :silly:</p> <p>@mrs.shinerbock: @QBbride: That's how I disguise them now, but haven't tried in the quesadilla or on pizza. Thanks for the new ideas!</p> <p>@Greentea: He will take them in a smoothie or puree, no problem. I haven't tried roasting them. Do you have any favorites or recipes you roast? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas#post-2011196 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 00:48:08 +0000 QBbride 2011196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son will eat any veggie on a homemade pizza, soup, or pasta sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas#post-2011099 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:10:25 +0000 Greentea 2011099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried roasting them? Or maybe some cheese on top? Or sometimes out of a soup? I would just keep trying. How about in a smoothie? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas#post-2011007 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 21:23:59 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2011007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had luck with cutting them up very small or mashing them and putting them in a quesadilla. My 14 month old will eat almost anything in a quesadilla or grilled cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas#post-2010880 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:17:31 +0000 Anagram 2010880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for my LO, it's just repeated exposure. She never likes anything the first 5-6 times I serve it. But the carbs she can eat are very limited (because she's MSPI and I work full time and don't have time to make breads and stuff from scratch much), so every lunch and dinner she just gets a meat + 2 veggies and eventually she started liking most of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas#post-2010874 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:14:38 +0000 Tanjowen 2010874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 12 month is a carb monster. He will eat a few green beans if I disguise them, and peas too. That's it. Everything else gets spit out or thrown on the floor. </p> <p>He will, however, suck down veggie pouches like a pro, so it's not a taste issue, but I'm thinking a texture issue? How do you get your LO to eat veggies? </p>
