When I was a kid, most of the time mom would open a can, empty it into a pot of boiling salted water and left it there long enough to turn to mush. I’m guessing a lot of households had a similar dinner rountine which was why so many kids don’t like their veggies. In the summer she kept a small garden and I’d help her out. She was more creative with how she prepared them, and I enjoyed them more. By my teens we bought more fresh or frozen veggies, and I offered to help out in the kitchen.

Canned foods are never as good as freshly picked foods.

How are you gonna keep the boy off the farm once he’s had a taste?

Once had a coworker tell me she thought store bought tomatoes were fine until she had one I brought out of my back yard.

I could never understand all the jokes about not liking vegetables when I was a kid. I’m so glad my parents have always had a generous veggie garden.

Garden to plate – can’t be beat.

As a kid, I always thought I hated vegetables. Turns out I just hated canned vegetables that had been cooked to mush.
