My husband is also picky; kids are/were too. Only vegetables husband would eat

when we met were white potato (baked-dry; mashed & French fries), corn, iceberg

lettuce, fried eggplant, raw carrot & green beans (RARELY for last two). I tried

explaining corn & potatoes aren't veggies. He'd eat marinara & BBQ sauce were

tomato but nope nothing doing

Kids followed his pattern except son would come in & eat eggplant as I was

frying until his sister told him he didn't like it.

This was also true of legumes & grains. They'd eat rice but no legumes.

What darling husband doesn't know is about a year ago our mashed potatoes nos

have turnips. Our salads have expanded to include several different veggies. He

now eats lentils, barley, whole wheat pasta, brown rice & few other things.

I'll throw in sprouted lentils to lentil dishes, various bean sprouts to stir

fries. I also try to sneak in a little 3 garden & /or broccoli sprouts to salad

but I have to make sure I have bags out that I'm adding to my salad or he gets

suspicious.

What do you mean you have to have bags out?  Do you put sprouts in the bags and

then use the bags and he doesn't know you did them?  Or do you mean you add

them into a salad in a bag and then take it out with the salad?
