What are some of your clever ways to get your kids eating vegetables?
I hide them where I can, spag bol, pizza sauce but I'm running out of ideas.
Looking forward to some insightful ideas!
Thanks.

If they like mash potatoes, then make vegetable rissoles. Annabel Karmel has a recipe but I just par steam/boil some veg (any combination) try broccoli, sweet potato/pumpkin, etc, then gently mash then add into potatoes with a little tomato sauce, dash of worcestershire sauce, grated cheese, form into patties, pan fry. Or for bit more crunch, crumb then pan fry.

Have you tried mashed sweet potato/yams?
Mixing with white/cheese sauce?

Does he/she like "dipping"? My kids will eat baby carrots, baby corn, home made oven baked "chips" (you can make these using potato, carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato)....if we give them tomato sauce/ketchup or hommus or cheese sauce to dip them in.
Grated vegetables zucchini, carrot, sweet potato, potato mixed with an egg then fried as little hash browns. You can also mix in cooked rice.
Good luck

I need sneaky ways of getting vegetables into my child! At the moment I grate or blend everything so he isn't aware he's eating vegetables.
What I need is some good recipes where I can combine vegetables, cottage pie, hamburgers etc. The rissoles are a good idea although I seem to have more success with a meat base.
It drives me crazy, this was a child who was a fabulous eater until he hit 2. We still offer vegetables to him in the vain hope he'll get over this but I swear if he doesn't like what he's eating he'll puke at the table!

If they don't like it, they won't eat it, you can't really make them. Mine also gag and vomit if they eat something they don't like - infuriating.
Mine are great with Chinese veges (My mother in law is Chinese). They love mushrooms, broccoli (sometimes) and LOVE Chinese savoy cabbage. Strange I know. They seem to mainly like having these in nice soups, they like tofu this way too!
They seem to like these clean tastes. They hate my western mixed dishes - I can't imagine either eating a rissole or pie. But they do like most roast veg -esp potatoes (and some pumpkin).
If kids eat fruit, then don't worry TOO much about the veges.

Thanks Sub, fruit is also a problem but I make sure he has a fresh juice in the morning and again make sneaky fruit ice blocks - hardly ideal!!
My daughter is a pleasure to feed so it makes it all the more infuriating!
Thanks for you post.
