Vegetable hating son

Nathalia King

My 5 year old son has a temper tantrum everytime I try to feed him vegetables. I know it is normal for kids not to like them, but this is so frustrating. Are there any recipes or meals I can hide vegetables in that he won't taste? I'm sick of hearing him whine and complain, but I know he needs them for a healthy diet. Thanks in advance!

    Almost every kid goes through the anti-vegetable phase. Personally, I cooked them in a delicious stir fry with ground beef to mask the tastes. Also, every kid will like some vegetables, you just have to find their kind of vegetable, and don't bother pushing the inedible ones onto them, they'll resist more. My daughter's tolerable vegetable was cucumbers with ranch, and so she has some of that every day. Just be patient and be willing to try out new things with them until you find the right fit.
