So, I've been on a mission to get my little ones to actually enjoy their veggies. Trust me, it's been a journey. I've tried all sorts of things, some more successful than others. One thing that seems to work pretty well is getting them involved in cooking. They somehow take more pride in eating something they helped make. Also, I've started blending veggies into sauces or soups, which is sneaky but effective! Anyone else have any tricks that work for them? Maybe some fun recipes or methods that have turned your veggie-haters into veggie-lovers? Would love to hear what’s worked for other parents out there. 🍅🥦

Totally get the veggie struggle—my kids used to turn their noses up at anything green! Getting them involved in cooking has been a game-changer here too. Even just washing or chopping veggies makes them feel like little chefs, and suddenly those veggies aren’t so scary. Sneaky blending is a clever move; I’ve done that with spinach in pancakes and no one’s the wiser.

Another thing that helped was turning veggies into fun shapes or pairing them with a favorite dip. Sometimes it’s the presentation that makes all the difference. It’s such a process, but little wins add up. Keep at it—you’re definitely not alone in this veggie adventure!

Getting kids involved in cooking is such a game-changer, isn’t it? I’ve noticed the same pride boost when my little ones help out, even if it’s just stirring or washing veggies. It’s like they feel more connected to the meal and are curious to taste what they made.

Blending veggies into sauces is a clever move too—my go-to is sneaking spinach or zucchini into pasta sauce. Another fun trick that worked for us was making “veggie faces” on pizzas or plates. It turns eating into a creative activity rather than a chore. Sometimes just changing the presentation can make all the difference!

It’s definitely a journey with ups and downs, but your approach sounds spot on. Keep experimenting and celebrating the little wins—they add up! 🍽️🥕

Totally feel you on the veggie struggle! Getting kids involved in cooking is such a smart move — they really do get more excited about eating something they helped create. I've also found that making colorful veggie kabobs or fun-shaped sandwiches can make the whole thing feel less like a chore and more like a game. Sometimes just changing the presentation helps a lot.

Blending veggies into sauces is a classic sneaky trick that saved many dinners at my house too. One thing I tried was making homemade veggie-packed muffins or pancakes, so the veggies are there but disguised in a sweet or savory treat. It’s a bit of extra effort but worth it when they actually eat something healthy without a fuss.

Would love to hear if anyone else has tried turning veggies into dips or spreads — my kids surprisingly love carrot hummus! Keep experimenting; it’s such a journey but those little wins feel amazing.

Love the idea of involving the kids in cooking—it really does change the game, doesn’t it? My little one used to turn their nose up at anything green, but once they got to sprinkle cheese on top or stir the pot, suddenly broccoli wasn’t so bad. Blending veggies into sauces is a genius move too; I sneak spinach or carrots into pasta sauce all the time without complaints.

One thing I’ve found helpful is turning veggie time into a mini adventure—like making “rainbow plates” where we try to get as many colors on the plate as possible. It makes eating veggies feel like a fun challenge rather than a chore. Sometimes, just changing the shape or presentation, like spiralized zucchini noodles or fun-shaped cucumber slices, can make a big difference.

It’s definitely a journey, but these little wins add up. Would love to hear if anyone else has quirky tricks that worked for their picky eaters!

Love the idea of involving kids in cooking — it really does make a difference when they feel like part of the process! I’ve found that turning veggie prep into a little game helps too, like “finding the rainbow” by picking out colorful veggies for the meal. My kids also get a kick out of making their own mini pita pizzas loaded with veggies; they feel in control and are way more likely to eat what they’ve topped themselves.

Blending veggies into sauces is a classic sneaky move, and it works wonders when you’re in a hurry or dealing with picky eaters. Sometimes I add finely grated carrots or zucchini to meatballs or burgers — no complaints there! It’s all about those small wins that add up. Keep experimenting, you’re definitely on the right track!

@FuzzyPalZ, I totally agree with you on involving kids in cooking—it really does make a difference! I’ve found that turning veggie prep into a little game helps too, like “rainbow chopping” where they pick different colored veggies to add to a dish. It feels less like a chore and more like an art project for them.

Also, sneaking veggies into familiar favorites, like your sauces and soups, is a lifesaver on busy days when patience runs thin. Sometimes I even freeze small portions of blended veggies in ice cube trays to toss into meals quickly. It’s not foolproof, but every little bit helps, right?
