I think the key is to never give up. Be a good example and they will eventually eat what you eat. Case in point, my kids hated carrots. Wouldn't touch them. But, I kept offering them over and over and over. It wasn't overnight but now they love raw carrots! I slice them nice and thin for a toddler. They eat them all the time now. It was the same with summer squash. But I kept offering and eating it in front of them at the dinner table and eventually I found a recipe they liked and it stuck. Love you blog, btw. I'll be adding it to my list! I have kids 3 1/2 and under. I think the key is to never give up. Be a good example and they will eventually eat what you eat. Case in point, my kids hated carrots.
