Eating those Veggies
I just encountered a suggestion from Gerber about using salad dressings on veggies. The benefit is that it enhances the veggie taste along with providing those essential fats that toddlers should get. According to them, toddlers should get 30-40% of the total calories they need from fat.
I am going to give it a whirl and keep you posted…hopefully my daughter will go along with this. If you have any veggies you have had success with, let me know. I am having a hard time fixing ones that are soft enough for her to eat with her 6 teeth and yet not too mushy to gross her out.

Steamed green beans with a little butter or seasoning worked wonders with my 2 and 4 year old boys. Hang in there and keep trying- you're bound to find a combination that will suit your toddler. Keep in mind that toddlers enjoy small foods that they can pick up and feed themselves. Good luck!
This might sound totally disgusting but I put green beans in with cottage cheese. My son LOVES cheese and he'll eat the green beans too. I have a friend who also puts peas in there. It's worth a shot!
I have never tried cottage cheese because I don't like it. I guess I will have to pick some up next grocery run.
carter loves tomatoes (i just slice cherry tomatoes in half and he stabs them with a fork) and used to like red peppers. the pasta sauce really does count as veggies though FYI.
