Nika likes carrots and sweet potato which she gets during the day. I steam them, which she prefers because it's a bit softer, and then I refrigerate/freeze what I make. She also loves corn and edamame beans which she gets at night. :]

I know she'd probably go crazy for the fruit, but I figured I'd try feeding her the more difficult foods for her to accept first. Just recently I started cutting up a bit of apple for her daytime feeding, which she goes crazy for. It took some experimentation but we're figuring it out. She hates broccoli and cauliflower no matter what I do, so I've given up on that. I tried for a full month! and she always threw them to the ground, not even nibbled on.

Ooooh sweet potato.... gotta try that.
Do you cook the corn, get it canned or just plain old raw dry corn?

I actually get bags of frozen organic corn that way it's less hassle and then I run warm water over it, drain it and serve it. But I've seen people give parts of corn on the cob for them to chew on :]
