“Trees” seems to always work with broccoli. It did for me.

There's not a nickname that can be thought of that would get me to eat lima beans...or Brussels Sprouts.

How about, “Tastes Like Crap Zucchini,” or, “Disgusting Broccoli?”

A related study found that an emetic works better when referred to as Obama juice, and that several laxatives emblazoned with Jay Carney’s image worked so effectively that their dosages could be halved.

Oh, good Lord.
Lets all pretend our kids are stupid as pudding and lie to them.
Who comes up with this?
If you fix vegetable well, kids will eat them - it is a given.
Just boiling them until there is no flavor left is not a way for kids to like veggies.

Mustard sauce works wonders for Brussels sprouts.
Lima beans are really good when cooked with fire roasted corn.

Try fire roasting the zucchini and mustard/cheese sauce for the broccoli.

i always eat my veggies and still do. okra isn’t popular with me, but i eat much of everything else. i buy everything now, of course, so i don’t have to eat things i am not overly fond of.

sometimes the raw veggies taste much better than the cooked.

but in my house growing up, we were told to eat our veggies and we did. no problem.

of course, my parents were adults and didn’t whine and wet themselves. they simply made us eat them.

don’t know why this is such a problem. lack of parenting skills, i guess.

never did like ice milk growing up, they called it ice cream, but i knew better.

Blessings, bobo

My parents were so good, they didn’t have to say a word to make me eat my vegetables.The “look” was all I needed.

I would chew a diaper before I’d eat broccoli.

One of the best parts of being a grownup is not having to eat broccoli. If the serpent had been on a broccoli plant we’d all still be in Paradise.

...and then tip them both into the trashcan?

Just kidding, I’m sure your recipes are good. I just can’t tolerate zucchini.
