I was really lucky, Miss Seagoon was pretty easy, only when older she developed likes and dislikes. No capsicum, no pumpkin and no no onion. I solved it by first, not making any drama at all if she didn't want something, she could leave it on her plate. And then when older letting her serve herself, that way there were no arguments

Yep. Feels. Inserting vegetables into small kids is a thankless task. Thank god(s) for meatloaf - and a food processor for pureeing suspicious items into unidentifiable goo. I am eternally grateful that homemade tomato sauce also contains an adequate quantity of vegetables.

Both my boys went through a 'vegetables are poisonous' stage, which was mercifully brief but hoo boy it was hard to cope with at the time!

Tbh zucchini is a low tier vegie.

(I planted it because it makes a lot of food.)

I think the only reason my kid eats vegetables now is from peer group pressure at childcare, lol. No idea how they got the other kids there to eat them, though

I also became an expert at hiding extra veggies in things like bolognaise sauce

They will eat anything at daycare and love it. You could make exactly the same recipe at home and they hate it. Welcome to the art of hiding vegetables.

Combine zucchini and bacon and you have food of the gods

Edit: and chargrilled or bbqd after soaking in seasoned olive oil
