My three year old daughter just does not like vegetables. In the name of vegetables, all she eats are - potatoes (in any form), onion/ tomato/ garlic that I use to cool Lentils. And she is fond of mushrooms (but that's not a vegetable). I have tried various tricks like wrapping in the roti or making a sandwich or a homemade pizza... She'll just spit out the veggie piece.
