hate vegetables -- how can I learn to eat them?

Cook your vegetables until they're no longer crunchy. Most of them aren't really that bitter. Use spices/seasonings to help add flavor. Find ways to sneak vegetables into your other food (cauliflower in mashed potatoes, onions or peppers in meatloaf, etc).

I don't hate vegetables but I get fed up of preparing salad every day, so I recently started making big pots of soup full of them. It's an excellent way to get loads of veggies in without the boring chopping, and in your case, crunching. It does mean eating the same thing for lunch several days out of the week, unless you made several big pots of soup and maybe freeze it in individual portions so you can mix and match.

I'm making another one tomorrow, it's just a mixed veggie one which I'm planning to make quiet chunky. Last week I made some leek soup with a celery base, which is ace because celery is so high in potassium and has practically no calories, and I hate eating it, but in the soup it's fine. Love it!

I'm right there with you! Veggies aren't the best but I have been trying new things and instead of canned veggies which arent the best for you, I am shopping in the fresh produce section! I pan fry my broccolini, asparagus and green beans with garlic and I have noticed that I enjoy veggies better then as if they were plain or with butter. I eat spaghetti squash with chicken sausage and pasta sauce and that's veggies. I make mashed cauliflower with milk butter and galic like mashed potatoes and love carrot sticks! Hope this helps!

My boyfriend is the same way. Have you ever looked into the 'super taster' condition? It's probably what you have, google it. Anyways, I'm a pretty decent cook and have been able to introduce more veg into my boyfriend's diet through a variety of ways. I blend tons of veggies into sauces- I'll make tomato sauce from canned tomatoes, lightly sauté up stuff like zucchini, onions, spinach, and carrots, throw them in the pot with the sauce and blend it up with a hand blender, heat up a bit more and serve or freeze. I didn’t tell him I was doing that for a while and after a few meals with the veggies disguised in the sauce (and him saying how good it was) I told him what was in it and he was shocked (albeit a little annoyed I was treating him like a child, but he got over it.) I also shred veggies like squash and carrots and mix them into things like meatloaf or even batter breads like banana bread. I will mash cauliflower in with mashed potatoes and I do a mix of sweet potatoes w/ regular potatoes when I make oven fries (sweet potatoes are better for you than regular.) Broccoli with cheese is always a hit in my house- you can experiment with low-cal cheeses like the laughing cow brand and see what works for you. Carrots with some dill is a good combo too, but it doesn’t disguise the taste of the carrot much. Roasted butternut squash or beets are pretty good too and not too bitter. Most people I’ve encountered that don't like vegetables simply say staunchly they don’t like them and never really try to gain a liking for them- keep in mind too, if you didn’t like something as a child you may like it now (or be able to tolerate it), your taste buds change when you get older. Good luck and good for you for wanting to try to eat more veggies!

I'd start out by just mixing them into whatever it is you're already eating - example, anything green mixes into pasta! (Or anything at all...) Otherwise, Cook them to pieces, roast them, dip them in stuff. It's more important (in my view) to learn to like new, good for you things, than to worry with the calorie count at this point, so cream, butter, bacon drippings and sugar!

I mix them in stuff. Broccoli and spinach in eggbake, riced cauliflower in meatloaf or meatballs, grated or cubed zucchini in spaghetti sauce or onions and peppers in scrambled eggs. I don't really eat many "plain" but if they are in sauce or with meat I eat them. Most of the stuff is usually cooked until it is soft so then it doesn't crunch.

I have a boss that is the same exact way. Try substituting them for something that you wouldn't think to do. Using zuchinni for spagetti noodles, avocados in cookie/muffin recipes (sounds weird, but google that and you'll find some surprising recipes), suppluments that give you the same nutrients, smoothies would be a great way, steamed veggies bring down the 'crunchiness'.

My boyfriend and I hate mushrooms so his mum grated them and put them into bolognaise, we didn't even taste them!

I do green beans with onion, red peppers and a tablespoon of bacon bits.
Corn with lemon pepper, onion, Garlic, bacon bits, black pepper, sometimes I add red pepper.
Also grill pinapple and red pepper it is awesome together.
Good luck!
