I'll hide veggies in her favorite foods and when she takes a bite of the food and it has a veggie in it, she spits it out. -

All the time. I add peas to butter bread and green beans to grilled cheese. He eats carrots without a problem. -

Yep, but not really to hide them, just to add flavor or moisture. Like shredded zucchini in turkey burgers.
