[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 548858, member: 6705"] Stuff like squash, and a lot of different veggies, are supernasty when overcooked. Squash shouldn't, well, squash - it should be steamed lightly so it's a bit crunchy. Same for broccoli, cauliflower, peas... Many people just don't ever learn how to steam veggies properly (for me, mind - some people DO like them squishy - BLECH!). It's an art. I'm working on teaching this to Onyxx right now, and her tastes expanded exponentially when she found out that cooked veggies could have a non-slimy texture. Yogurt is good for smoothies - I put ice in mine, so I have some texture there. Plain yogurt is slimy to me. I always have Rice Chex or something like to put in it like you do with granola, allhaileris! And... I also am a supertaster - I can tell when carrot puree is in my spaghetti sauce, it makes it sweeter - but most people can't. I don't mind it, but then, I have been known to put mixed veggies in my spaghetti sauce, too. Cooked carrots are the bane of my existence. BLECH! ...Have you tried NON-cooked zucchini sticks with dip or seasoned salt? No squish factor and they're tasty! [/QUOTE]
