I think we're turned the proverbial corner on vegetables!
It just goes to show that one has to constantly offer babies/toddlers different food choices and eventually they'll they'll try something new! A few weeks ago I whipped up a smorgasborg of vegetables: roasted cheddar cauliflower and crunchy "fried" green beans. I also put some broccoli on the roasting pan, but it began to burn before the other veggies were ready. I gave it to her anyway.
The only thing on the tray she ate (besides the little pb&j circles) was the sort-of-burnt roasted broccoli! Adding that to the roasted kale chips that she gobbles up and I thought we might be on to something.
This past week her new vegetable adventure was peeled and diced cucumber. Then while I was out on Mommy's day off, Daddy offered her diced fresh red pepper. Then she picked out an ear of corn at the farmer's market... which she ate fresh off the cob. One pleased parent right here!
I've tried some new recipes from my absolute favorite baby cooking blog, Weelicious. Sophie ate an entire meal of the Curry Rice that was packed with peas, carrots and potatoes (and subsequently wouldn't touch it the next day... oh well). Baby steps, but we're making progress!
