Not sure what you are using for vegetables, canned, frozen or fresh, but if you have tried all three each come with a completely different flavor and taste. I unfortunately was raised on canned. My mother bought canned everything even to Chef Boy ArDee Sphagetti. I never had tasted any kind of Sphagetti or even chili until I went to school. I had never had anything over a 99cent card board pizza (frozen) as I called them. Once I got in high school and in home ec a whole new way opened up for me. I went in the Army and also learned many new tastes being around other cultures and in different states. Don't take each vegetable for face value or first taste value. Try something different such as I slice zuccini squash and bread and fry. We only get this seasonal and even then I ration how much of any fried thing we get. get inspired and use different spices and ways to cook veggies, also you can make a veggie lasgana which is always good of nutrients. If the size is to much cut the recipe in half or less. I love cooking and honestly I am open to try new ways to make something to not get tired of the same ole thing. I made stuffing for thanksgiving, I always add celery, but this time I added the shredded carrots. Not only made my stuffing more moist but added another veggie in that I usually can't get my adult son to eat veggies. And no one noticed any taste difference but it did add a bit of color to the stuffing. Good Luck with your vegan diet. Have a friend that was doing that too, and she was getting so ill because she was lacking the nutrients from meat that her doctor had to get harsh with her to start eating a bit of meat for the protein. And the crazy thing is she would admit to me she was craving like chicken etc. So listen to your cravings and your body. Going to far one way or the other (my hubby would only eat meat if I let him) can cause problems as well.
