Can a child survive off ketchup and ranch?!

Lately, meal times have not been a fun experience.  I'm trying so hard to make sure that Lexi has a  balanced diet and nothing is working. Frustrated doesn't even begin to explain it.  I believe I may have blogged about this in the past but no progress has been made.  At the moment it seems like she lives off of ketchup, ranch, Mac and cheese, and hotdogs.  How is it that she knows a vegetable even if I blend it up. For instance for dinner tonight I blended peas up in her sauce and she wouldn't even look at it so I put a little on her lips and she proceeded to fly off the handle screaming at me like I had just tried to feed her bleach. Spitting everywhere and yelling at me. After she calmed down I gave her the same thing, sans peas, and she is loving it! WHY, arg. This no vegetable eating is, I think, the root of her constipation issue. She is now on a daily low dose of miralax to help her with her little pebble poops.
On a brighter note she has learned a few new words! No! Is one of my favorites, like every toddler she says it to just about everything and rarely gets the meaning right but it is just so stinking cute the many different ways she says it! She also said her first name recently and guess who the lucky person was? Auntie Stacey! Lexi now will sometimes call her Tay-see and it is so darn cute! She is getting more words and sounds everyday.
