This year is already big success in cucumber becoming a favourite; cherry tomatoes becoming a favourite again after being rejected last year; a couple of carrot sticks making it in every few days; and melons and plums rejoining the favourites list (she'll devour the fruit bowl if I let her!). Smuggling small amounts of green beans, cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant, red and yellow peppers or carrot into tomato sauce also works, as long as it is finely blended. Sometimes it is 'this is the deal - you eat those 2-3 mouthfuls and then whatever else you want from your plate'. Sometimes she just goes hungry (and crabby). Will work on it even more now.
