So over the past few years it has become increasingly difficult for me to eat vegetables (and most fruit). I love fruit and vegetables, and I've always eaten them plain (whole strawberries, steamed broccoli, roasted brussels sprouts), but in recent years, perhaps because of my food allergies ramping up, my super-taster-ness for bitterness and

By nature, I am an intuitive, experimental cook who plays with flavor combinations and techniques instead of recipes, but I have had to shift gears quite a bit in terms of those techniques and flavors since having a child. mr. muse and I like highly spiced food - although I am allergic to peppers and chilis, while he is obsessed with them, so he has to add lots of heat to his portions - but with the museling I have to create meals where he can have a little sauce to try (because he has to try everything) but be able to give him more of things that are easier for his palate. It's so freaking complicated... but the kid eats all kinds of cuisines, so I can't complain about it. He just has better taste buds than we do. Everything is strong to him.

I like your sauce ideas. I need to think about what flavors sound especially good to me and add some of those, for sure. I also should look at the non-vinegar dressings in the store for ideas. Normally, I would avoid non-vinegar dressings, but even balsamic right now makes my eyes water (except when reduced), so maybe something more basic and creamy (in small amounts) would be a good thought.

Thank you for letting me think aloud. <3
