.........besides broccoli & cheese!!! I have had good success getting my stepkids (13 and 11) to eat the LC meals except for the veggie sides! It took a long time for me to get to a point of not having to prepare 2 meals, but they haven't liked any of the veggie sides I have tried except broccoli & cheese. Which after almost a month of cooking it, I quite sick of it, and so are the kids and dh. Plus I am preggers and the smell is really starting to gross me out. Anyway, is there a recipe for a veggie dish that is kid approved and LC?

Thanks.

- I like cole slaw made w/ splenda instead of sugar.
- Zucchini sauteed in butter and at the end add a tbs of sour cream (kind of like a stroganoff)
- turnips made like hash browns or french fries (a little sweeter and moister BUT the texture is pretty darn close)

I will try to think up some more.

Recently, I made fried zucchini sticks for my kids. At first they didn't even want to try them, but after the first bite, they loved um. I just cut the zucchini in strips, coated them in egg white, rolled them in Parmesan cheese and then fried them to a crispy brown.

My kids also like raw baby carrots w/creamy ranch dressing for dipping, sliced cucumbers w/salt, French style green beans in butter sauce, they even eat salad.

I have two kids with very different tastes when it comes to veggies. I make:

+ celery sticks with peanut butter filling, (yes, with dinner)
+ cucumbers cut up for dipping into ranch dressing
+ cucumber salad (cucumbers, sour cream, splenda, venigar and salt and pepper to taste)
+ spinach cooked according to directions, drain, add sour cream, chopped up hard-cooked eggs and crumbled bacon. They eat this like it was desert!
+ Mushrooms sauted in butter
+ Cauliflower with butter and salt (or topped with cheese)
+ Snap peas
+ Green beans

Look on the recipes site, also. Some of these my kids eat, some of them my kids don't.

Good Luck!

Have you tried Karen Barnaby's faux mashed potatoes? My gf, a confirmed mashed potatoes, will even eat this dish. Click on the Low-Carb Recipes link in the orange bar at the top of the page to begin looking for it.

To tone down the sourness of real goat cheese, I use a pasteurized goat cheese spread.
