    What kind of question is that?

    What do you like to eat? Google that and add the word recipe

    You honestly think I haven't done that a million times already? Right....I am looking for things people concerned about weight loss have used and had success with. I will eat almost everything just not vegetables

    Yes I honestly think you haven't done it

    You have ruled out an entire raft of ingredients, you say nothing about what you like to eat and you expect help?

    then eliminate all vegetables and eat less food. Weight loss is about calorie deficit, period.

    or take the vegetables out of the recipes and just eat meat.

    My husband is anti-veggie....A few things we do that he likes...
    Turkey tenderloin either grilled or baked. Low calories, low fat

    Smart bites potatoes. They are baby reds or baby yukon gold potatoes usually. Low calorie and taste great if you cut them in half and grill them or bake them with just a touch of olive oil and seasoning. They also come in microwaveable bags which is great for a fast meal.

    Chicken tacos (we cook chicken and mix in taco seasoning as normal) put on low-carb tortillas with lettuce, FF cheddar cheese and low-fat sour cream. Also tastes good as a salad over a bed of lettuce and use salsa for the dressing.

    If you are looking for good but not necessarily healthy we do Beef Stroganoff or Itailian Slow Cooker Chicken.

    Beef Strognaoff:
    1-2 lbs ground beef, browned, drained if needed
    1 Tbsp minced garlic
    2 cans cream of mushroom soup
    8 oz. Sour Cream
    1/2-3/4 c. milk
    1 pkg Egg noodles cooked
    Salt/pepper to taste

    Combine all ingredients. Enjoy

    Itailian Slow Cooker Chicken:
    3-4 chicken breasts raw
    2 cans cream of chicken soup
    1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, cubed
    1 pkg dry itailan seasoning
    Place chicken in bottom of crock pot. Add remaining ingredients. Cook on low 6-8 hrs. Shred chicken and serve over rice or noodles.

    Hope this helps a bit!

    I will try ANYTHING food wise so long as there are no veggies in the food. I wanted others ideas and things i may not have found looking things up, not everything is on the internet word of mouth is a great way to find new things. I have looked things up, gone on super cook and gotten recipes based on what I like.

    Have you tried hiding the veggies in your food, to get SOME healthy veggies in? By this I mean, for example, try cooking cauliflower and then put it in a blender with a little bit of milk or cream, and then add it to a regular macaroni and cheese recipe. You can add some to a instant mac and cheese, or, much better yet, add it to a homemade mac and cheese recipe (with whole grain elbow pasta) and then bake it with cheese (low fat?) and whole grain bread crumbs or wheat germ on top until bubbly. Yummy, and I bet you won't even taste the cauliflower! Then maybe you can graduate yourself to a little bit of chopped spinach added in. Start with a tiny amount (more like a garnish) and then add more over time. Also, you can make a meatloaf or meatballs. Take your favorite ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken, etc.), add a raw egg, salt and pepper, oregano, then add some spinach chopped up real fine and/or carrots that have been processed in the food processor. You'll barely notice them (if at all). I know you care about fitness, because you're on this site. Vegetables are by far the most healthy food you can eat and you will be doing long term harm to yourself if you avoid them completely. What about a veggie drink like V-8 (nice to drink warm like a tea or a tomato soup if you don't like it cold) or a fruit and veggie combo drink? How about guacamole or salsa -- do you like them? You could put some on a tortilla, perhaps with melted cheese and slices of grilled chicken breast. Can you eat soup with vegetables in it? If so, I'd recommend that and suggest adding more and more veggies as your taste / tolerance develops. Good luck!

    The way I sneak my veggies in is in smoothies, only problem is those are full of sugar. But adding them to meatballs that's brilliant! I never would have though of that. I try to sneak them in where I can it just gets frustrating when you add them to certain things and it alters the taste, but even adding them to burgers would be great! And yeah they are very important when you are counting calories and trying to get fit, they aren't empty calories which is awesome! And I have done the V8 juice blends but that's also got a lot of sugar which is difficult because I am trying to cut out a lot of my sugar intake. But thank you so much for your help! It is much appreciated!

    For the longest time I was pretty damn stubborn about it too. I am RIDICULOUSLY sensitive to food texture and the texture of a lot of cooked veggies (even if I like the flavor!) turns me off. I used to think that I just hated them but some taste test trial and error I realized it wasn't the veggies themselves but how I was used to them being prepared. Same thing with cooked fruits. Still can't get me within a mile of bell peppers or mushooms though. *shudder*

    BUT! Hiding them in things is usually the way to go. Dicing them up veeeery fine in soups so they just kind of... dissolve. Packs some nutrition in without... feeling like you're eating veggies. Same with into omelettes and things. We get some veggie pancakes from trader joes (Scallion pancakes I think?) that are really, really good. And they don't really taste like veggies and just kinda crisp up like a potato pancake.

    My culinary-inclined boyfriend cringes but push come the shove I just boil things into oblivion and mix/mash them into something more palatable like potatoes or as pasta sauces.

    Is there anything that you don't hate? Anything you ESPECIALLY hate? Helps to come up with ideas.

    OH! And lemon, salt, and garlic go a loooooong way towards "hiding" veggie flavor. Or at least making the bleh ones taste good.

    I have a small child, so I just make sure that all of my components of every meal are about 50% vegetables. Below are the three things that I keep on hand at all time, but it's easy to incorporate shredded or pulsed vegetables into everything. That way you're eating fewer calories, but still get the volume of food that you want.

    Cauliflower macaroni and cheese:
    Take one chopped head of cauliflower, steam in a small amount of water until tender. Puree cauliflower, add 1 cup sharp cheese, and season to taste – I use adobo OR salt/pepper/mustard powder. Freeze in ice cube trays until frozen, transfer to a labeled freezer bag. To serve, microwave as many cubes as needed and mix with cooked pasta or a mixture of cooked broccoli and pasta. This can also be used as a cheese sauce for veggies.

    Chicken/yellow squash nuggets:
    Shred 1-2 squash and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Mix with 1lb ground chicken, 1 egg, seasoning, form into “nuggets” and bread with your choice of bread crumb. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes on a lightly greased rack on a cookie sheet. Cool and freeze on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a labeled freezer bag. To serve, microwave until thawed or bake for a crisp exterior.

    Turkey/zucchini meatballs:
    Shred 1-2 zucchini and squeeze most of the liquid out. Mix with 1lb ground turkey, 1 egg, seasoning, parmesan cheese, and choice of bread crumb. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Cool and freeze on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a labeled freezer bag. To serve, microwave until thawed or simmer in sauce.

    What about hiding veggies in your food? I've never been a huge fan of veggies, myself. I tried some of the recipes in this book (Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld) and that has helped me. For most of the recipes, you can't taste the veggies in there. Who would imagine that there could be peas hidden in chocolate pudding and you can't even tell!

    Instead of pureeing all of the veggies myself, I would just use organic baby food. Super great way to sneak veggies into my own meals without my tongue knowing! ;)

    As a fellow veggie hater I can totally sympathise with your predicament. I have tried vegetables and salads so many times over the years and still can't get the taste for them. I tend to go for things like cous cous and flavour it up with a fajita mix and serve with chicken or mince. I truly wish I did like veg and salad as it would make this healthy eating malarky so much easier ;)

    Good luck with it.

    My youngest son had an aversion to any type of veggies so I definitely hid them in everything. Always in the meatballs or the marinara sauce, meatloaf ....If you put veggies in soups, either cream or broth based, cook it until the veggies are soft then throw it in the blender or use an immersion blender and it whirls them into oblivion for you and you just end up with a thicker soup. Then add your chicken (protein) or noodles or rice.

    Good luck... It's tough and I haven't thought about having to do it for years, I'll try to think of some other ways.

    Wow thanks so much for all the good recipes! I would have never thought of half of these especially the organic baby food, my daughter eats it but I would never have thought to use it myself! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you all!

    @toreybellavance WOW! Can you imagine how many calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium ... is in that recipe? DUDE! Why not see a nutritionist to help you plan your meals ... WOW!

    OP I was a super picky eater as a kid, no veggies at all other than potatoes, and corn (which are the least veggie of the vegetables!). I started eating a few as I got older because it was easier to eat some than to constantly explain to people that I didn't eat any vegetables. I still don't care for broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and tomatoes, among others.


    People gave you some good suggestions on how to "hide" the veggies which I think is a good way to start. I would also continue to try new things, different preparations really can have different flavors, for example roasting veggies makes them a lot sweeter. Carrots for example, taste almost like candy. Butternut squash with butter and brown sugar is really good too.

    One of my favorite recipes that does include veggies but if you really hate it up could omit them. In a 9x13 baking dish in vertical rows arrange cubed potatoes, boneless chicken breasts, and then fresh green beans. Then sprinkle a packet of good season italian dressing mix and then pour a stick of melted butter over the whole thing. Bake for 45 min at 375 degrees. Even my kids ate this one.

    This may be an idea - this is the full fat version, but eating 2 of the 23 was so filling. I also like to sometimes use this recipe as a pizza base by cooking (either way it's about 10-15 mins at 180 fan oven) then putting on herbs and tomato paste, the dreaded veg - tomatoes, sweetcorn, and then some lean chicken, turkey or ham with just a little low fat cheese on top. You could skip the tomatoes and sweetcorn - even the paste if you really dislike all veg!

    Try the cookbook called Deceptively Delicious. It's by Jessica Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld's wife). She makes all kinds of foods with blended vegetables hidden in them. It's intended for sneaky moms to feed their veggiephobe kids, but it works on husbands, too. Not that I'd know :wink:

    I think if I can hide them or even find a way to make them taste better I would be OK its just the texture and the taste that gags me out lol but thank you for not only the recipe but advice it is much appreciated!
