After they set the table, they can hang out and dip their veggies before dinner. If the meal is fancier, like a roast or special occasion, I do a green salad instead and let them eat it first. It eliminates me having to bug them to get to the table when dinner's still hot, and from wanting an unhealthy snack before dinner. BUT, they do still have to have a taste of the cooked veggie(s) I prepared with dinner, before leaving the table. Make it fun, let them pick out different colors of veggies at the store,good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-65671246295912943072007-11-08T18:50:00.000-08:002007-11-08T18:50:00.000-08:00vegetables? you're serious? wow. umm...yeah...i ...vegetables? you're serious? wow. umm...yeah...i have no idea.Livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154719979114564561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-6311394820410257532007-11-08T10:49:00.000-08:002007-11-08T10:49:00.000-08:00Serve a main dish that includes vegetables.

We buy pitted olives & cut them into the salad like another vegetable.

You have to eat one bite or you don't leave the table. Sprout can sit there for a long long time. Spud figured it out much faster. He will even ask for more broccoli now. If only that worked on his dad! <BR/>They also really enjoy Veggietales and seem to like to eat Bob and Larry and their assorted friends. <BR/>They also like the mini versions of veggies, ie cherry tomatoes, mini cucumbers, etc. It's more fun to have a whole one I guess.<BR/>I'm jsut too lazy to puree and hide, so these things work for me.happygeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554736584093276751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-77634132753409643252007-11-07T19:38:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:38:00.000-08:00I too use the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook by ...I too use the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld to add veggies into my meals for my 2 year old. It has really been great! I still, however, put veggies on his plate each night b/c it would ROCK if he would actually eat the veggies. I also use the V8 Fusion juice (I use the light b/c it has less sugar) b/c it adds more servings of fruits and veggies.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656758023601176717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-40765915400979813022007-11-07T19:34:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:34:00.000-08:00one step further beyond what andrea said -- a bit ...one step further beyond what andrea said -- a bit of it on their plates each dinner too. maybe they don't have to eat it but at least it's there. eventually...they'll eat it.
