[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you my nine year old DD?  She just tried celery, liked it and I nearly cried with relief.  She eats celery and carrots and oddly, chopped salads with romaine lettuce.

Try, try, try to find a vegetable you like.  Start with carrots and a really great dip, like hummus or peanut butter or ranch.  Or celery and a dip.  Try the pre sliced, mini carrots or buy a small veggie tray and sample.

I wish I could help you...I happen to love every single vegetable but likely still don't eat enough of them.  [/quote]

OP here. Actually, I hate dips and salad dressings. Not a huge fan of peanut butter (I think I had to eat it too often as a kid and now I'm burnt out on it). Hate baby carrots. I could eat a regular carrot, and just chop it into carrot sticks. I just ... don't like it. [/quote]

PP here.  Let's think about this.  Not a fan of dips.  My DD likes carrot shreds and carrot "coins" (sort of kind of like a potato chip).  Start there.  Do you like salt?  If so, I think just about every single veggie is better with a tiny bit of salt.  Trying to think of a bland crudité type vegetable that you could try.  Green pepper?  Yellow pepper?  What about trying tiny pieces of cheese and olives and roasted peppers, an Italian antipasto?  Is that making you gag?  Sorry.

Scratch all that.  Try a baked potato.  Plain.  If you like that, you could add chopped scallions, ground pepper.  Maybe a baked sweet potato would be more palatable. I'm now starving just thinking about all of these foods.  Good luck.[/quote]
