thanks guys. Some great suggestions. We do have vege garden area... except its abit of a storage area at the moment for DH's crap, however, we do intend to clean it out, and get it going again.
The idea of the sauce is good, i think i have always thought of that as 'cheating' somewhat, so have never really pushed the idea. I think however, will look into it some more.

My other big issue is my fear of Aiden choking, so, i probably tend to over cook veges, more then lightly steam, but, no wonder, if everything tastes the same, mushly and bland, cant really blame him for not eating them.
DH is a reasonable vege eater, has a few not going there type foods, but, as Aiden gets older, will have to get DH to eat abit more variety.

Aiden does like pizza, and generally, will eat whatever is on top. I guess i have abit of a pre-conceived notion that for me to be a good mother, i shouldnt need to disguise vege's so much, that he should just eat them..
