I’m a little late on the commenting, For the longest time Morgen would only eat peas. And like her Dad they have to be frozen peas not the stuff in the can. She will also eat cooked carrots with butter on them. The other thing she likes is Vegetable soup. Her green beans have to be cooked a certain way before she will devour them. I think that is about all for the veggies.

Pickles have been offered, but I don’t know if they count as veggies. He hasn’t actually eaten them. And I he isn’t that into catsup yet either. We do fruit- apples and bananas. He finally ate a grape the other day. It’s still a battle… we are gong to bake some veggies into bread soon.

Hello Fellow Covenant Alumna!

Do PICKLES count? That’s about the only veggie my kids eat (if fries don’t count) because they are ALLERGIC to most others (Really. I’m not kidding.). Oh yeah, and CATSUP=vegetable, right?

Will he eat fruits? We love fresh fruits–they are dessert for us much of the time.

Seriously, they will eventually eat if they are hungry enough. If nothing (junky) else is offered after a while a bite of broccoli and those carrots start looking pretty good.

Great to see you and your cute kiddo!

We simply offer dessert.

Emma loves a competition or challenge, so the rule is eat everything on your plate (usually veggie heavey) and then you get dessert - which is typically nothing too special, often a single gum drop or a half a cookie.

If the presented vegatable offering is too horrible, then at times dessert is glady forfeited. These days broccoli, beans or carrots are gladly eaten and it’s not an issue.

As far as the boys go, they pretty much take Emma’s lead.
