I HATE vegetables!

I buy frozen cauliflower and I like it with spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese. I copied it from one of my friends diaries. I'll try anything once. But this I like.

It's incredibly easy to get yourself used to eating almost any food. Just start eating it regularly and over time your pallete will adjust. Of course veggies don't taste as good as big macs and ice cream, but that's b/c they're not loaded with artificial flavors and sugar.

So stop complaining and start eating veggies! Buy baby spinach, broccoli, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, etc., put them in a bowl, add dressing, mix it up, and eat. Do it everyday!

I'm not a fan of vegetables either, but I find carrots bearable to eat at times. Just eat veggies that you may find a little appealing. Anything is better then nothing!

Well, I really don't hate them but I don't like them much. I'll eat a salad or steamed broccoli with cheese sauce but I just do not like the texture or taste of most vegetables. I have to force myself to eat them and the whole time I'm just chewing and chewing with no enjoyment whatsoever. I'd like to find some simple recipes (because let's face it I'm lazy and having to take 1/2 hour to just prep the veggies is annoying as heck) that I can make quickly and that I might actually like. I'm open to suggestions because if it were up to me I'd never eat another vegetable in my life. Ideas... thoughts ... recipes ... Many thanks!

That's weird.

I like veggies for the most part, but I hate eating salad. I just juice them to get the nutrients. Too many easy ways to add more stuff to my veggies whether it be dressing, dips, cheese, butter, brown sugar, etc.

I also use green smoothies to get my leafy greens in. Grilling some mushrooms on kabobs are always awesome. May just need to try different ways of preparing it to start liking it (or tolerating it better)

I just got off the phone, conference call. Brocolli, Asparagus and Spinach all said the same
THEY HATE YOU! I was shocked

I loooove veggies but I never eat as many as I like. I buy veggies and freeze them together so I can always have something easy on hand to add to meals. Ex: I mix sliced mushrooms, thin sliced red and green peppers, onions, and garlic together and freeze in single-serve containers/baggies. Then, when I want to add some to spaghetti, an omelet, or even for topping a burger, I thaw it and saute real fast. Honestly, I've been lazy and just throw in the pan frozen sometimes, but you get a little extra water in there that way.

You can grate carrot, zucchini, and other veggies that go well with sweet things and add to pancake batter.

I think the problem with veggies is that they tend to be prepared poorly (no seasonings, overcooked, undercooked, etc.) I second what someone said earlier - roasting veggies brings out sugars that you wouldn't think were there. I've roasted just about everything - broccoli, brussels, beets, turnips (and i hate turnips unless they're roasted) - drizzle with a good non-extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, maybe some balsamic or whatever sounds good. It doesn't have to be complicated!

What veggies do you not totally hate?

When my kids would not eat veg I would par boil then chop half liquidize half and add to mince or use as a gravy worked really well

I too hate veggies. But I just tell myself I have to eat them, because I don't get to eat the stuff I do like! These are somethings I have tried:

1. Stir fry green-beans and tomatoes with chicken. Watch out for the sodium in soy sauce though! Add some garlic for more flavor.

2. Try "faux Potatoes". You use cauliflower, a little milk( Im allergic to mild so I use soy), and a little butter. Put it in a food processor and pulse. They should have the texture of mashed potatoes.

3. I also use squash and zucchini and dice them very small and hide them in whatever I'm eating.

4. I eat scrambled eggs or egg whites with roma tomatoes mixed in. Season with oregano or something else with low sodium.

These are just a few ideas from a fellow veggie hater

carrots w/brown sugar glaze. That was the only way my mom could get my brothers & I to eat carrots when we were kids.... just cook the carrots til tender, add a lil brown sugar & butter (mom used real butter). Its very yummy!!! I still eat them that way. I dont load up on the brown sugar & butter, a lil goes a long way.

try snap peas/snow peas. they are VERY quick to cook (like a couple minutes), and you can eat them hot or chill them and eat them with hummus. if you chill them, you can also put them in salad with sesame seeds and a bit of soy sauce and nuts - yummmmmmmmm! (this is coming from a person who also hates vegetables)

I used to not eat salad and any veggies except corn. I learned to adjust and find ways to make them likeable to me. Sometimes it's the way they are cooked that can be off-putting, too. However, you still couldn't force me to eat broccoli or peas. Blech, the smell and taste of broccoli and the mushy texture of peas.

I found after trying it more, I love cauliflower. I roast some on a pan with a little olive oil, garlic salt, & pepper at 400 degrees. You can change up to whatever seasonings you like.

I also learned that I like certain types of greens for salad. So maybe try different types to find one you like?
For my salads, it's usually mixed chopped bell peppers, some feta, chicken, sunflower seed or croutons, dried fruit, etc. Find what you like & throw it in there.

Sweet potatoes cut like fries and drizzled with olive oil, garlic salt , & pepper and baked at 400 is soooo good, too.

You can always hide veggies in smoothies , soups, cut them real small in stir fry, etc.

http://www.doitdelicious.com/...lot's of great recipes to as you said "sneak" in veggies, but I guess if you're the cook and you have long term memory you can't really sneak them on yourself, but whatever!

What foods do you like to eat? There are probably ways to incorporate veggies rather painlessly.
