[quote=Anonymous]My kids won't eat any cooked vegetables. Or salad dressing.

As far as their nutrition goes, I can't complain. The two of them will be VERY happy eating large bowls of carrots and I can't buy enough cucumbers for them. Both are thrilled with a big bowl of salad at dinner -- will go for seconds and ask to have it sent for lunch. But offer them dressing and you would've thought I was trying to poison them. No matter that there are literally HUNDREDS of kinds of salad dressing, that range from sweet, to tangy to spicy to salty to umami and can be in really any texture...

And I really can't complain about the cooked thing--nutritionally speaking--because letting them tuck into a pile of shredded raw cabbage or kale is extremely good for them... but it's really hard to cook a meal that has no vegetables in it.

As a parent, my job is to make sure they get good nutrition and get enough -- no problem doing that, but it's virtually impossible to cook any kind of interesting cohesive balanced meal for the whole family.[/quote]
