    Try buying jarred baby food veggies and add them to your favorite sauces and soups until you know which ones you like with what. Then once you've found one or two that you like, you can steam and puree them yourself and keep adding them to your food. Even into spaghetti sauce or most spicy sauces as well!

    I promise that the way you grew up with vegetables is not the way it has to be. I had mostly canned veggies as a kid, but now that I am an adult I realize I love raw veggies, baked veggies, and steamed veggies. You are in charge now, so research recipes and ways of prepping. I promise you will find a lot of variations that make you fall in love with vegetables, too. GL!

    It took me 32 years to like cooked veggies....LOL. I HATE them steamed, as they get too mushy. I've discovered roasting or grilling most veggies makes them so flavorful, and still slightly crunchy. I still only eat carrots raw, but I've widened my veggie eating to asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and so on. I NEVER thought I'd like Brussels sprouts, but I found that roasting them in the oven with a bit of garlic and pancetta or bacon makes them so tasty.

    I still eat a lot of salads and raw veggies for snacks, but at dinner I've been experimenting to get at least one cooked veggie on the plate.

    Also, greens like kale and spinach can be hidden in smoothies. Put enough strawberries in there and you don't even see the green color anymore!

    It really is just a matter of trying things. I love most things as long as its not lima beans. I despise them with a passion, even now. I have been aquiring a taste for cauliflower but Lima beans will never happen. Is that childish? Maybe but its one thing I don't like when I love so many others. My grandmother didn't like them either. Sometimes you just don't like something. Its only childish when you blanket an entire food group as yucky.

    Keep up the good work trying to find veggies you like. :)
