Madelyn No Likey...

So, I made Madelyn green & yellow beans (microwaved & pureed) and fresh broccoli (steamed and pureed) as new vegetables to try. I believe this is a photo of her trying the beans. As you can see, she wasn't a fan.



She's one smart kiddo because after about four bites, she started pursing her lips together so I could not get the spoon in her mouth. The airplane trick didn't work either. We tried a little big sister distraction, but she caught onto that as well.


I usually don't microwave the veggies, so I naturally thought she didn't like the taste because I microwaved the green and yellow beans. However, given that her reaction to broccoli was the same, it's obviously a texture and/or taste issue. At least she loves avocado and sweet potatoes and likes asparagus and peas. We'll give regular steamed beans a go in another week or two.

If you want her to like brocolli, try mixing pumpkin with it...Anna is a big fan! ;-) Or I have a cauliflower and brocolli gratin recipe she loves...if she is on cheese yet. Good luck!
