I want to add a little bit. I know what you mean about veggies. EWWWWW!!!
But, the secret I found is herbs. That's right, herbs. By adding different kinds of herbs to veggie dishes, I found out that vegetables CAN taste good. Who'd have thought ?
Also, try different methods of cooking or not. Steamed broccoli will make me yak, no joke. BUT, hit the same broccoli with olive oil, sea salt, balsamic vinegar and a touch of garlic and bake it in the oven for about 20 minutes, and I'll lick the pan clean.
Same thing with bell peppers. I can't stand bell peppers, cannot stand them. But, I have learned that roasting them in a 450 degree oven for about 15 minutes until they are soft, then slipping off the skins before dicing them up and adding them to a dish is actually good.
My new favorite dish is really simple and really good. Take an ear of corn, shuck it and silk it, cut or break it into 3 pieces. Take two yellow potatoes and cut them in wedges, leave the skin on. Take a handful of baby carrots, or even a big carrot cut into small pieces. Put these three things into a baking dish and sprinkle generously with Fat Free Italian Dressing. Add a sprinkle of water and cover it with foil. Put it in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Then remove it from the oven, take off the foil, and add a zucchini or yellow squash cut in pieces and a handful of fresh green beans. Toss the veggies in the dressing so they are all coated, and return the foil. Put back in the oven for about another 15 minutes, then serve. I could eat this stuff all day long.
So experiment! Even if you start out with just one thing, keep eating that one thing until you decide you really won't vomit if you eat it, then add another. Learning the tastes you have now took time, and learning new tastes will as well.
