Baby carrots to be exact.

This is my 3yr olds most favorite snack right now. straight from the bag. Your lucky if you can keep them hidden in the fridge to use for anything else, cause he'll get in there and find them. He doesn't want to dip them in anything. He just wants to eat them plain.

The odd thing is - my oldest LOVED baby carrots when he was younger too.Wonder what *I* ate when i was pg that has made my children love baby carrots, lol. Or maybe it's I snack on them often too.

What do your kids snack on the most?

That's so odd... my 1-year-old loves carrots too.

No, we don't give him the real ones, but any baby food with carrots in it are a guaranteed favorite, especially the ones that are just pureed. I'd have never guessed it because, while I like them, my wife really doesn't (at least not without a honey glaze).

I was just planning to steam some baby carrots in my rice cooker tonight and see if he'll eat them (cooled off, of course).

I think the two main things little ones love are carrots (the crunchy sound) and broccoli, you know, baby trees for the baby and all. :) All mine loved them, and of course with all those carrots they can see better than me now!

My daughter actually doesn't snack. Melon or turkey would be as close to a snack as she has. She still nurses and so there isn't really a need for snacking at this point in time.

When I was younger I was a vegetable machine. The only veggies I never ate (and to this date never eat) are tomatoes (unless they're in something like wraps / tacos...even then I don't care for them - I'll take them out of my salads though. I'll eat pizza and stuff, I just don't like them raw) and I don't like mushrooms. I barely like them on pizza.

But one of my favorites - asparagus. Give me that just raw with nothing and that's like candy to me.

Oh wait...my son hahaha!!!

They seem to have the metabolism thing that I have - be able to eat 100 lbs of food and not gain anything. I'm 5' 9.5 and 122 lbs and I can eat a cow and then some and go stand on a scale and maybe have a couple of lbs just from the food. Then a few hours later and it'll be gone. They'll eat the good stuff thankfully, fruits, veggies, and every weekend we'll order a movie. Then he'll get his own small bowl of popcorn or whatever we have.

Carrots were my favorite thing as a kid as well, straight from grampas garden washed under the hose with a veggie brush. As an adult I am betting its because they are high in sugars compared to other veggies, as are snap peas, corn and beets. I still eat baby carrots by the bagful plain. I have dip on hand for my husband though. Another I used to like was kohlrabi, but its not very popular in stores and I can't grow it to save my life. I liked how it looked and of course the funny name.
