Seriously, ALL of them love vegetables.
Sometimes I can't keep up...

For example, yesterday my kiddos ate:

3 cucumbers (sliced)
a bag of baby carrots
3 bell peppers (red, yellow and orange...cut into slices)
celery with sunbutter.

Then for the actual lunch part they ate California medley mixed veggies, whole grain pasta with cheese and chicken and applesauce.

Today, we are having cauliflower and broccoli florets with pepper strips and cucumbers. They will devour an entire head of each as well as the standard 3 bell peppers and 3 cucumbers we eat daily.

I have NO idea why they love veggies or how I convinced any of them to try them but I have a dozen kids from 0-age 5.5 daily and ALL of them eat the veggies happily every single day!

We also grow our own veggies here and sometimes involving the kids in that process makes them even more open to trying veggies.

In the summer months we grow cherry tomatoes and I can't keep up. They can easily eat a gallon of them a day if I allowed them too! Sometimes they eat them straight from the vine when we are outside playing.

My kiddos call them ketchup balls.
