I'm not into steamed veggies, unless it is a very light steam. I hate mushy veggies. I'd rather eat them raw if possible. If they are in casseroles, soups and stews, the mushiness doesn't bother me (usually because pasta and meat is mixed in there). It's probably like GGT says, the canned food aspect. Now that I am grown, we do a lot of grilled veggies or a real light saute. I still won't eat spinach unless it is raw baby spinach in a salad. So, knowing my textural issues, I'll never force something on K. But I will ask her to at least try it.

Funny enough, the way I got into eating cooked broccoli was trying it at one of those "Mongolian" grills, where you put all your food in one bowl and then they cook it on that flat griddle they have.... My love for zucchini came from Hibachi. So, I've tried giving K veggies based on this experience. Maybe one day she will warm up to them, but right now the only veggies she eats is green beans. She's a fruit addict, though!
