Believe it or not Jake's favorite vegetable is cooked broccoli. Most dinners he can't stomach (see "yea! I can eat!" posted 2/21/08), but if there is broccoli he will eat a dinner portion of that and be done.
That might seem odd for a boy of almost 5 years old, but the crazier thing is that Logan loves broccoli just as much! If he sees broccoli he starts screeching for it. You have to have him eat some of the rest of dinner before letting him see any broccoli or he will stop eating the other food and only eat broccoli until he is full! Jake was having some leftover broccoli once, Logan saw it and started screeching until he got some!
They definitely don't get it from their dad (so it's not a Y chromosome thing). Robert got sicked out when Jake was fine eating cold, cooked broccoli leftovers because he didn't want to wait for it to be warmed up (we ended up warming it up first). The 4lb bag of frozen broccoli I got at Sam's is dwindling fast. At least there is one food the boys will eat for dinner!

This is crazy and so great! Ethan detests broccoli almost as much as lettuce. We made the mistake of having him eat it raw one meal and he has never gotten over it - even when it is smothered in cheese.
