Toddler Tuesday: Baked Parmesan Zucchini Coins

Meghan likes most of her vegetables served plain, just lightly steamed.  She will eat just about all the vegetables I have offered her, but there are a few she refuses again and again.  One of her seemingly least-favorite vegetables is zucchini.  I’ve put some on her plate time and again as it’s a vegetable I use often, but she never gets it from her fingers to her mouth.  I think it’s the slimy look of zucchini (and no, I don’t overcook it!).  I decided to try it a different way and see if she would give it a go.  It worked!  I just changed the look of it by baking it with some cheese/bread coating and she didn’t even look twice at it–picked it right up and ate it.  And the real key: after her first bite she took another.  Next time I may add some spices (probably Italian spices) to liven it up a bit for Tim and me, but these are still good without them.
