Hi Becky, DS has become very picky when it comes to veggies. He'll eat some purees, but even his old favorites are hit or miss. I bought the Jessica Seinfeld book and I really like it. I made sweet potato pancakes and they were awesome. (He usually will eat sweet potato puree, so I don't know why I made those, but I did.

). I also made meatballs with butternut squash in them. He ate a few bites last night, I'm not sure if he liked them or not. He was VERY fussy at dinner time as he is cutting 2 molars, so I'm going to try the meatballs again today and will let you know how it goes!
My DS spits them out, but you could also try zucchini sticks. I cut up zucchini and bread them like they are chicken tenders and bake them. DS will put them in his mouth, but once he chews, he spits it out because of the texture inside (I think). We have texture issues over here.

I can sympathize with your frustration!! xx
