Hellobee Boards

Following. My LO liked veggies until about two months ago. She will occasionally eat them, but not like she used to before. I have to say that I have not tried cheese on them yet, so maybe I will do that. I'm sorry that I don't have anything helpful to share.

The only vegetable K will touch is the broccoli in veggie Lo Mein from one specific Chinese restaurant. If I try to make stir fried broccoli she won't touch it. She used to eat veggies in pouch form but lately she won't eat those either. Hoping it is just a stage (although this stage has been going on since solids were introduced).

Sorry no suggestions! Just commiseration.

It is very hit and miss here. Some days he eats them, some days he doesn't. Some ideas:
- mixing veggies into muffins--sweet potato muffins, spinach muffins, zucchini bread, etc
- pureeing veggies in sauces--tomato sauce, mac n cheese sauce, kale/spinach/broccoli pesto
- does she like to dip? maybe dipping stuff in ketchup, ranch dressing, etc.

@Smurfette: ah ok. Well, maybe try some of the other options--I have yet to see a toddler refuse one of these muffins:

Also I know it is SO HARD, but the best thing I have done for myself is just to stop stressing over eating. You can't make her eat, so at the end of the day, it's up to her. If you're really concerned, maybe give her a vitamin?

@Smurfette: my LO has gone to bed without eating anything for dinner MANY MANY times. As long as he is offered food (including one thing like cheese, a carb like rice or pasta, or fruit), and he doens't want to eat it, then it's on him.

If she really likes mac n cheese, try this recipe: http://weelicious.com/2013/03/06/green-mac-and-cheese/

DD went through a phase where she didn't like veggies, and she also has issues with food being mixed around.

For the time being, i would try giving her green smoothies or veggie pouches, and just keep trying with the veggies. I also find that toddlers really don't like mashed potatoes so i can see why she spit out the mashed sweet potatoes.

Have you tried roasted beets? They get really sweet through roasting.

Another thing I've done is boiled and sauteed spinach or kale with garlic and pureed it with some cream (and thin out with water) for a green pasta. If i have pesto, that'll go in there as well, and she really likes it. When she was younger, i had to get it to a really smooth consistency though.

What about pizza? We grate carrots and mix it into the sauce, and she eats it up!

Hmm...
What if you put the veggies in the dip and then gave her some crackers to scoop up the veggie dip?

Here is a link with some options:

Pete's a big fan of green smoothies. I put whole milk, raw kale, Trader Joe's frozen tropical fruits, flax seed and a tiny bit of honey in the blender. He absolutely loves it.

I made these for the first time over the weekend (without the chocolate chips) and they are also a hit:

Good luck!!!

@Smurfette: I cook most of the muffins and pasta stuff on one day and then freeze it! Maybe pick one afternoon a month?

@Smurfette: We've tried it all and yet it's been close to a year since he's eaten any vegetable. And I'm not exaggerating. He's an extremely picky eater, and almost always has been, so I just keep offering and assume he'll give in one day. He lives off of yogurt, fruit, and grilled cheese at this point. Just here to commiserate with you.

@Smurfette: Could you just keep offering her veggies but also give her a pouch with veggies too so that you know she'll get some veggies in? And maybe eventually she'll get over her veggie hatred and start trying the stuff you're giving her? That's pretty much what I do with Xander.

@Smurfette: I would be discouraged too if I spent time cooking and he didn't eat any of it! It helps motivate me when I know he'll actually enjoy what I make. I am able to make the smoothie very quickly in the mornings. Pete sits in his high chair in the kitchen waiting for it. The spinning blender entertains him. It's my breakfast too, so I make big batch of it and we both drink it together.

I try to make two batches of muffins (24) and then freeze them individually for the month.

I haven't made any of the dips myself so I'm not sure how labor intensive they would be.

Is there a nice grocery store near you? Sometimes I go to our fancy grocery store called The Fresh Market and pick up some pre-made vegetable side dishes for Pete when I am tight on time. This week I bought an orzo salad that has spinach in it and he likes that.

Alternatively, my pediatrician told me not to stress about picky toddler eating. She said it's a stage that happens to almost every kid! There's only so much you can do.

@Smurfette: Ahh, I have no advice then. Pouches are our crutch and I'm not giving up on them until they stop working, haha.

@BananaPancakes: sounds like my DS's diet! He has been refusing meat lately too so he gets grilled cheese for lunch everyday with a greek yogurt for protein and a side of fruit!

@Smurfette: Does she like meatballs? I think blending it in meatballs might work. This chicken veggie meatball recipe looks good.

Steam some cauliflower, then grate it or purree it an out it in Mac n cheese and other sauces! It's colorless so it's hard to spot. Even my son who will pick out anything he sees eats it up! It's a bit of a pain but it works and its a good cruciforous veggie.

Our son will also eat spaghetti squash with tomato sauce and cheese and anything in a pouch. Some have success with smoothies and juicing too.
