[quote=Anonymous]Here are some things you can try:

chopped broccoli with scrambled eggs and maybe cheese
mac and cheese (I use Kraft) with broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower blend mixed in
ramen with sugar snap peas (sometimes they’re stringy, might be a choking hazard?), and or Stir-fry/Asian vegetable blend
zoodles with alfredo or other favorite spaghetti sauce
vegetable soup
acorn squash stuffed with butter and brown sugar
grilled cheese with sliced fresh tomato or unsalted petite diced canned tomatoes, you can put a little spinach inside the sandwich
brussel sprouts (maybe topped with a little olive oil or brussel sprouts) - call them “baby cabbages”
chicken apple sausage sauteed with cabbage, tart apples, onion is optional,
green bean casserole - keep it simple, just drained canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and fried onions on top
stir V8 into refried beans and make burritos

Generally speaking, adding a little bit of fat to vegetables (olive oil, butter, bacon, ranch) makes a huge difference

You might try to recruit your pediatrician:

Once during a check-up, the pediatrician asked if my kids were eating their vegetables? I explained that we followed the one-bite rule and that they ate a lot of fruit.

He exclaimed in a shocked voice that one bite wasn't nearly enough, that they should be eating a bite for every year old they were.

That night I dished out the vegetable servings according to their ages, reminding them what the doctor had said. Whereas before there had been regular struggles to get them to eat the one bite, they resigned themselves to eating the larger portions, and I never had another argument about them eating their vegetables.[/quote]
