Thankfully dd loves vegetables but I have seen other moms incorporated into chicken nuggets, and make juices with them

My boys eat just about anything but veggies.  It is a major battle!  So I cook when they are not in the kitchen and chop veggies up and put them in anything I can.  For example, when I make my spaghetti sauce it gets broccoli and celery.  When I make brownies it gets anything that I can add that I have on hand at the time.  I do this with fruit as well. 

We also have a meal planning guide that we post each week.  Everyone must cook a dinner each day of the week.  So when they pick what night they are cooking it requires that they plan for a main dish (meat of some kind), Side dish and a veggie dish.  The rule is that everyone has to eat at least one spoonful of each dish on the menu that someone has prepared.  so that is the two ways we get our boys to eat veggies.

tell the kid that its a fruit. my 2 year old sis thought squash was a fruit and i made the mistake of telling her its not  fruit its a vegetable and she stopped eating it

I don't have to do anything they have always eaten all their vegetables. (When I started them on foods vegetables were one of the first foods + I made my own baby food.)

All three of my kids like to eat vegetables. I just put them on their highchair tray and tell them now yummy and good it is! Even if they don't like it on the first few tries, I keep giving it to them whenever we eat it, and eventually they eat it too and usually likes it. My yds loves salad even as a preschooler and my dd loves tomatoes at 16 months.

Im trying new veggies and also trying new ways to cook All our favorites. We've recently tried spaghetti squash, roasting fresh green beans, broccoli , and zucchini .
I made pesto with broccoli, it was interesting, not sure if ill make it again.
I made guacamole with asparagus in place of avocado it was good on chicken breast and burger patties.

I've become sneaky with getting my kids to eat more veggies :).

Potato soup is really popular with my kiddos. I tried a new recipe, which included cauliflower in place of half the potatoes. They all gobbled it up saying it was the yummiest potato soup ever. Only dd11 knew about the cauliflower :)

I even pulled one over on one of my friends who is anti veggie, but likes potato soup. He also loved it , we haven't bothered to tell him the secret.

For vegetables my children seem to avoid (onions, garlic, etc) I chop them finely and add them to sauces or soup, they are less noticeable that way. I try to jazz up vegetables like broccoli with grated cheese to make them more interesting.
