I’ve always loved broccoli, even as a kid!

Two of my children like broccoli as well, but my middle son, well, he’s a different story. The only vegetable he likes is tomato. And technically, tomato isn’t even a vegetable!

So I thought, how can I get my kids to eat more vegetables?

Back when I was eating low fat, high carb, most of our vegetables were pretty plain. I would steam them on the stove and serve them like that. No butter, no cheese, no sour cream. Maybe a little bit of salt and pepper, but that’s it!

But now that we eat high fat, low carb, I find our options endless for enjoying vegetables.

Often we love our vegetables topped with grass-fed butter! It’s delicious and simple. Sometimes though, I like to add even more, especially to vegetables that my middle son tends to not like.

The cheese and mayonnaise give this dish tons of flavour.

And guess what? My middle son ate it without complaining once!
