Vegetables YUCK!

The Bird's Eye or Green Giant steamers that are lightly sauced are good. You can also try V-8 Fusion juice, it tastes just like fruit juice but has veggies in it. I personally like the sparkling and tea kinds.

I don't mind veggies but my husband isn't really a fan, I find the best way is to hide them in the meal when possible - for example one of his favourites in chilli con carne with baked rice - what I do is grate a whole carrot and a zucchini and add it to the carne when I'm cooking it along with a can of kidney beans. I also make the rice with brown rice - the spices and tomato sauce in the rice hides the fact that its brown rice. It wasn't until I told him how healthy the meal was that he knew anything at all!

My favourite salad is really yummy too, even non veggie eaters love it. Finely dice raw veggies, include almost anything: carrots, snow peas, zucchini, cabbage, celery, sprouts, spanish onion, spring onion, capsicum - whatever I have in the fridge at the time. Add finely diced apple so the mix is about 1/4 apple. Then top with a squeeze of lemon juice. It doesn't sound that great but the flavour of the apple really hides the veg and it's so bright and colourful!

I thought I wasn't eating enough vegetables, and there are plenty of other things I like better and plenty of vegetables I won't eat, including some that make me physically ill (undiagnosed allergy?). But when I started recording vegetable servings on the USDA site (http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ Super Tracker, which isn't as easy or friendly to use as MFP, but good in other ways) and SURPRISE, I discovered that most days I was actually getting my vegetable servings in some other ways. Try some of the following and the other suggestions that have been made. Research shows that few people (adults or children) like new food the first time they try it. I forget how many times it usually takes...

Some ideas:
* vegetable lasagna (or regular lasagna with some spinach or zucchini added, you're also getting the tomato sauce)
* salad with lots of stuff besides lettuce (lettuce is boring!) This one may not work for you at first
* artichoke hearts
* scrambled eggs or omelets with some of mushrooms, diced and sauteed onions, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, spinach, olives (start with just a little bit and add more veggies as you get used to them)
* pickles
* asparagus with a mustard sauce or mango salsa
* roasted tomatoes with garlic in olive oil
* very fresh corn on the cob - steamed
* Chinese pea pods - steamed, boiled or raw
* bean and rice burrito with spicy vegetable salsa and avocado
* carrots baked with honey
* vegetable dumplings
* lettuce wrapped around barbeque'd sliced beef, rice and other spicy vegetables (Korean dish)
* kim chee (comes in a variety of spice levels, pick one depending on how hot/spicy you like things)
* mashed potatoes
* beets - sweet
* mashed peas and mint dip (with crackers or carrot sticks)
* baba ganoush
* eggplant lasagna

There are entire cookbooks based on putting vegetables into foods in ways you don't taste them. Chick peas instead of flour to make cookies, etc.

And while you may not like one part of a vegetable or eating it prepared in one way, you may like it another. Some people like the "flower" part of broccoli; others prefer the stems. Some people like cooked carrots; other people only like them raw. And there are many ways to sneak small amounts into other things you eat... carrot cake, zucchini bread, onions in sauces and soups.

try seasoning..(mrs.Dash) and put olive oil over red onions and green peppers and red potatoes in the oven. so good.

Or sweet potatoe w/ cinnamon - wrap it up in foil spray some fat free butter and sprinkle cinammon on top and put in oven till tender. very good

There are a lot of great suggestions here already...I would definitely start off with sweeter veggies, like carrots and sugar snap peas. Steam them lightly and add a tiny bit of butter. Steaming them brings out the sweetness, and butter...well, self-explanatory.

Also, baby greens (lettuce mix) are sweeter than other leaves. If you're willing to try a salad, that might be something you can tolerate. I used to only tolerate veggies, but now I like them. Like, not love, mind you. I mix them into my food rather than eating them raw...raw veggies are hard for many people to eat, so you're not alone there! Best of luck! :flowerforyou:

P.S. Steamed edamame with garlic salt is AMAZING!!

Stir fry! With brown rice or noodles and teriyaki or thai sauce... so yum!

Vegetable soup is good. I hate eating veggies in actual vegetable shape, but if you pick the veg you hate the least and make them up into a pot of spicy soup then blend until smooth you get to eat multiple veggies without any of the pain. And you can add pasta to the soup afterwards for a bit of extra yum.

You've got some fantastic ideas on here of things to eat, so I don't think I can add to them.
I have a veggie phobic daughter, but I've noticed as she's getting older she's getting much better.
Our tastes do change. For one our taste buds get less acute as we get older, so tastes you were revolted by as a child will taste less so as an adult....and as Robin_Bin said above, it takes repeated tries for our taste buds to get used to something different.
A friend once told me that you have to try a food some where between 50 and 100 times before you get used to it!! They may have beeen winding me up a little!! But the idea is right.
So all I can say is , Keep Trying
.......and Good Luck!

oh! now i have no idea the calorie count or whatever but how bout V8 juice? The kind that tastes like fruit but also has carrots hidden in it and stuff?

I have heard of using black beans in brownies (you grind up the beans first)...google that and give it a try!
