I've been meaning to try adding steamed carrots as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318843 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 01:06:21 +0000 Kimberlybee 1318843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saving as favorite for future reference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318751 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 23:30:59 +0000 BeachMama 1318751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD won't eat vegetables. They have to be chopped up finely and covered in pasta sauce, or completely disguised in food. It makes me sad. I really hope I can get her to eat an actual vegetable sometime soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318557 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 21:24:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1318557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do green smoothies with kale or spinach.</p> <p>tonight i finally got charlie to eat sweet potato after he has refused to even taste it on numerous occasions. i had to bribe him then he loved it! i just baked it with butter and a little bit of salt and pepper.</p> <p>the only other two vegetables the kids will eat are asparagus sauteed in butter with salt and pepper, and broccoli sauteed with garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318527 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 21:06:23 +0000 betsyboop 1318527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Ooh, do you have the recipe for the broccoli cheddar bites? I've tried roasting veggies and putting cheese on top but no dice. It's almost like if she sees veggies in whole form, she won't even try them.</p> <p>@hilsy85: I've been thinking about making something like that! We tried Dr. Praeger's spinach littles and she hated them so I've been hesitant to put in the effort to make a whole batch of something only to have her reject it. I'm lazy…</p> <p>@autumnlove: @locavore_mama: I forgot about smoothies! She drinks one every morning. I'm going to throw some spinach in it tomorrow. </p> <p>@Mrs. Confetti: Clever, very clever :wink: </p> <p>@jodyblair: I tried hummus a couple of months ago and she didn't like it but maybe I'll try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318510 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:54:49 +0000 jodyblair 1318510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will she eat veggies dipped in hummus? I also like to put diced veggies in lasagna (red peppers, eggplant, zucchini, squash, spinach). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318505 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:51:32 +0000 mossyslane 1318505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One thing that we've been doing (for our almost 19 month old) that makes the veggies much sweeter without any sugar--especially carrots. Carrots cut up into small pieces with olive oil and roasted are so, so good. </p> <p>Also, she really likes some things frozen--like Trader Joe's frozen asparagus, straight out of the bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318483 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:34:58 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1318483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our best luck comes from omitting them from C's plate, but us having them and making a big deal of how much we like them and that they are just for us, and then casually saying, "oh, C do you want a bite?" if daddy's eating it, he wants it. it is seriously magic. he ate sauerkraut earlier this week with that trick (ew - even for me - and I almost had a heart attack). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318433 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:00:40 +0000 regberadaisy 1318433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO loves quiche, scrambled eggs, smoothies and veggies raw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/veggie-ideas-for-toddlers#post-1318407 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 19:42:29 +0000 autumnlove 1318407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo loves steamed carrots and butternut squash.

She will only eat avocado, corn, and peas. Does anyone have any recipes they'd like to share? </p> <p>Soup used to be a good way to get her to eat veggies but she is going through an anti-soup phase too! </p>
