how to make myself like vegetables

This is going to sound crazy but it's what I've been doing to get more veg. I cut everything up in one big bowl and have four ounces of pasta sauce on top of it with two tablespoons of sour cream. It was not easy at first, but it gets easier over time. I've used salsa as well with the sour cream but, again, only four ounces. That makes it just enough and not, to me, like everything is drowning in sauce.

Cook veggies different ways. Use different spices, etc. You can probably find a tasty way to make them if you put in the effort.

Try googling vegetarian and vegan recipes. They've definitely got some non-standard recipes worth trying.

I have a vegan recipe blog. I eat ALL foods but find that a worth while vegan recipe is priceless. I vote that you



make my vegan crispy chicken sandwich (sweet potato burger). They're definitely not a substitute for the real thing but a great middle ground when you're looking to eat more veggies. Plus all of my recipes are cheap, super easy and include a video incase you need to see how exactly how I made it.

One word: tempura

There is hope for you yet! I was not a veggie fan and now I find myself craving them. If you're making salad try adding what you already like.- Make a taco salad and add some sour cream and cheese. I think you'll find yourself adding less and less fixings.- Add cranberries and croutons, or tortilla strips to your chicken salads. Try seasoning your veggies with some garlic and maybe adding some Motzarella cheese over them until you acquire a taste for the veggie itself.

Roasted veggies are my favorite foods. I've found that if you use non-stick aluminum foil, you can get away with hardly using any oil at all (maybe 1/2 - 1 tsp for a whole pan). Roasting works for almost all veg; my faves include Brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini & other types of squash, carrots, and green beans. Seriously, I always tell everyone that if you don't like a vegetable, try it roasted. Case in point: I always thought I hated Brussels sprouts. Tried them roasted, and now I DREAM about roasted Brussels sprouts and I could seriously eat them at every meal. So so so good!

Another way I like veg: chopped salads. So much better than regular salads. Everything is chopped up super fine (or use the shredder on your food processor), add a little dressing, and voila. I don't know why, but chopped salads changed the salad game for me as well.

Add butter! And I second the roasting (with some olive oil ). Also, keep trying. We can retrain our taste buds, but we need to keep trying and tasting.

Another vote for roasting!!!

Also, add bite sized veggies to everything. When I make rice or barley, I cook frozen peas and corn in with it. I mix zoodles in with noodles. I put chopped celery, onion, and peppers in tuna, salmon, or chicken salad. Stir fry - a protein with veggies and sauce. I throw chopped veggies into scrambled eggs. Do you like marinara sauce? First, that counts! Second, steamed veggies mixed with a little marinara and a Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese wedge is yummy. Once you get started, you'll find other ways that work for you. And once you start eating them this way, it will help your taste buds start moving in the right direction

Might I also add, it helps to get fresh pre-cut veggies from the produce section. Or have frozen ones on hand. For the lazy days, when you want to eat healthy but you don't have the time for washing and trimming.
