Understand & know what you mean Mandy,
How about this ..
You meal plan for the week with veggies .
Put in 2 or 3 Ian will eat & won't, LOL
That way you can pick & choose what day you want what .
Does that make sense ?
Maybe it would work :)

Thanks Hugs,
Today is going to be a very quiet day round here due to yesterday's migraines so I might sit & meal plan...

So sorry to hear about your migraine,
Good it is going to be a quiet day for you.
Understand on liking & not liking certains veggies ..
Think perhaps a few of us might be like that.
Eat what you can
