I will blend peppers and add it to spaghetti sauce or there’s applesauce pouches with hidden veggies
Sounds like a normal toddler to me! My stepson who is almost 4 ate nearly anything he was given as a baby. Now, his mom has him in feeding therapy. They told us that playing with food (feeling textures, etc.) is a good start. I don't know where I heard it from, but someone said that children need like 7 (not sure on the number) exposures to a food before they'll try eating it

Ways I got to eat veggies: asking her if she thinks it makes a big crunch noise when biting into it; asking if she thinks it's sweet, salty, bittet or sour; serving it in a funny form (in a muffin tray, a small jar, cut into Pinterest worthy pictures, heck even ask her if she wants to take the green bean from my mouth without using hands); pretending that I can see how the veggies goes from her mouth into her belly (arms, legs, toes); pretending broccoli make her toes green and fluffy (she laughs and laughs about this one); involve her into helping to cook (eats a ton of raw veggies then and there but as soon as I put the same veggie on the table, she doesn't like it anymore 🙄); making a veggie snack plate "for myself" and walk past my toddler pretending it's mine (she comes running and eats it because she always wants some of mine); give all the power to my daughter -I don't accept a "I don't want that". I say, that's okay. I only offer it to you but YOU decide what you want to eat. She usually eats it then
