Haha the only vegetable this kid will eat is salsa or ketchup lol. Time to get creative.
Fortunately, I never had to deal with the "hate veggies" thingie but can suggest a few ways to hide them in commonly eaten dishes for the "picky ones". Came in useful for DGD's mother who grew up thinking starch and meat was all that the food pyramid consisted of. That she married a man who thought salad made a great breakfast was just one more difference between the two of them, LOL.
Add finely grated carrots to bottled or canned or homemade tomato sauce. This is commonly done in parts of Italy as a sauce thickener.
Use a ripe avocado or pureed roasted peppers as a spread for sandwiches instead of mayo.
Serve mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes. Tastes much the same.
Roasted spaghetti squash can make a good tasting substitute for spaghetti.
Make a morning (or lunch or dinner) omelette with steamed broccoli or as some children call them"trees".
DGD will clean her room/do her chores with alacrity if I say I'm making gazpacho.
When DGD came to live with us she liked veggies sorta kinda ish ish but enjoyed them more when I served them as an "exotic" appetizer. Vegetable bruschetta, a meatless antipasti plate with lots of colour, veggie Chinese dumplings that we made together as she aged, and lettuce wraps. Bought some small airline plates from Fishin' Eddy but you can find tapa plates just as well from IKEA, Williams-Sonoma, and BBB. The extra effort helps to develop an eye toward color, texture, and general esthetics as well as making the veggie course "special'. In time vegetables became a demanded requirement to her meals and my evil plot worked.
