Hahaha:laugh: .
I've eaten a piece of asparagus and it was so gross. I spit it out. And I ate a cooked carrot. Yuck.

Agree with roasting. I am NOT a broccoli fan at all but I really love it roasted in the oven with olive oil and sea salt. Yummies.

I just finished making a pot of butternut squash soup. I highly recommend this method of vegetable eating.

Once upon a time, I did not like most vegetables. I just made myself eat them because they were good for me. Now I eat most of them raw, and I actually like them pretty well. It's just a matter of getting used to them.
But yeah, what everyone else said. Look for healthy dip recipes and serve them with that (Greek yogurt is high in protein and makes nice dips). Make soup. Try some new veggies you haven't tried before...jicama sticks and sugar snap peas are naturally sweet. My kids love them.

First of all, buy the freshest veggies you can find which have more, and better flavor. I've grown to love veggies. Here are some tips that may help. 1) Brown some onions and garlic in Pam and add to veggies along with a tad of olive oil and sea salt. 2) Throw in red pepper flakes & rice wine vinegar to jazz it. up. Kale tastes yummy this way. 3) Roasting, as others have suggested, is great. Believe it or not you can roast Brussels sprouts.....yes, hear me out....cut them in half, toss with some olive oil & sea salt, put into a very hot oven and roast them till they are browned. Yummy. 4) Add lemon juice and/or lemon zest and Smart Balance Light to veggies. For ex., par boil some green beans, drain off the water and add back to a pan with some melted Smart Balance and saute. Don't forget to salt veggies. 5) Consider investing in a cookbook by Deborah Madison who is vegetarian but her recipes for veggies are outta sight. I bet that before long you are going to love veggies. PS: If you are a busy American, Green Giant makes individual packets of broccoli with a light cheese sauce. I think they are only 40 calories. Easy and filling. I hope these tips help.

Grow up. Eat your veggies.

I used to hate asparagus when I was young and now I LOVE it. My favorie way to eat it is with a little olive oil drizzled on and salt and pepper, then either roast it in the oven for 15 minutes or grill it for a few minutes. It goes with anything and is so easy to make.

Try veggies in soups where they will be cooked well and really tender and will blend with other flavors instead of just tasting like veggies.

Hide them in recipes. For example, when I make lasagna I add shredded carrots and zucchini that I saute in a pan with onions. You can't taste them at all. In another lasagna recipe I use eggplant for pasta and you seriously can't tell the difference, it's so good! Spaghetti squash doesn't have much flavor and will basically take on any flavor you add to it. You can actually replace spaghetti and put marinara on it.

Just keep trying new veggies and you will find one you like. Corn on the cob? Sweet potatoe FRIES. Eventually you Will find a way you like your veggies.

Also, maybe look up a website with recipes for "picky kids." There a lot of recipes for parents who try to hide veggies in their meals because kids don't like them. Don't give up.

I was thinking cauliflower hidden in mac and cheese .

Thanks for the tips.

So eat offal instead.

Start raw with the basics and dip is helpful. Try small amounts of many varieties to find ones that taste good to your immature palate. Then test out lightly steamed or roasted options. Mince or grate veggies into things like spaghetti sauce, soups, meatloaf etc. keep testing new options each season. Branch out in fruits as well.

I love it tossed with a bit of butter and some taco seasoning. It tastes great for almost any veggie.

I loveee fruit. No problems there .

Agree with much of the above - buy the freshest vegetables you can (never canned, they never taste good), roasting works miracles (try roasting cauliflower florets tossed with olive oil, a little salt and some curry powder). There are some great vegetable cookbooks. I love Madhur Jaffrey's vegetable cookbooks, once you have the spices in your cupboard they go together very easily and always taste good. Mark Bittman is very reliable.

If nothing works, try putting together sliced green onion, grated carrot, coriander, lettuce, and roll them all up in a rice paper roll. Make some dip with a little hoisin and rice wine vinegar and presto - a salad you can take for lunch. (easy to add shrimp or chicken).

Vegetables are wonderful, you just need to learn to cook them. Enjoy!

One of my favourite things to eat is a salad made with baby spinach, crumbled goat cheese, almond slivers, and raspberries - and I used to hate spinach! This is the perfect way to get in a few servings of veggies and a serving of fruit.

Okay, you are a vegetarian who doesn't like vegetables?
That seems to be quite an issue.
Also, you love animals but want to own a zoo ?

Oooh yeah! That's another recipe I use too! Just cut up the cauliflower real small and cook it in the same pot as the noodles. It's so easy and SOOOO good. (I also add a little cajun seasoning, that's my favorite.)

*scratches head*

I prefer to be called meat free but yeah, whatever. I don't like veggies. Hence why I'm trying to get ideas so I can incorporate them into my life. And a zoo like you're probably used to, no. I think calling it a zoo is the easiest because thats what I was going to school for. Zoology. But it would be more like a sanctuary for abandoned animals where I can teach people about the different species and whatnot whilst saving animals lives. Any more questions?

gauchogirl

Lots of butter and a little salt makes most things better. Roasting veggies also helps a lot.

onedayillbeamilf

I agree. They are gross.

Skinny_Beans

Wrap them in brown rice and seaweed for homemade veggie sushi
stir fry in olive oil with chicken or shrimp and seasonings
cut up into cheese and egg omelettes
eat with hummus spread

Really, you have the internet.

How is that rude? The internet is a plethora of information.

"Really, you have the internet"

The remark was unnecessary. I know how to cook some vegetables. Its not like I live under a rock. I was merely asking how do other people make them taste better.

if you don't like veggies I suggest first of all making sure you eat at least a bit every day because you can acquire tastes and our tastebuds are always changing. I would suggest pairing it with meat (steak and asparagus or broccoli are awesome together - especially with hollandaise sauce, so is salmon and broccoli) try it in a stir fry or chinese food where it's coated in a yummy sauce. Try all kinds and find the ones that you can atleast stand, don't swear them off completely. Make a cheese sauce to put on broccoli or cauliflower. Eat pizze with veggies on it - if you can eat them on the pizza it will help you to get used to the flavors. Put them in noodles or salads or casseroles and just chop them into really small pieces so it's easier to handle. Trust me if you keep trying you will find some that you can stand and probably eventually like. I used to HATE veggies even salad - now I eat salads all the time I love them, and I get veggie subs at subway, and one of my favorite dishes to cook is sweet and sour stir fry. Just keep trying : )

windycitycupcake

find ways to force yourself to eat them. once you eat them for a while they start to taste better than you crave them.

vegetables taste good i wonder why they taste bad to you thats strange

when i ate only junk food the thought of eating a vegetable was very unappealing, maybe you are eating too much pizza
