Well, how about making different sauces for the spaghetti and use a lot of vegetables. Eating her beloved spaghetti together with formerly unknown things should help her get used to other things. I've tried the same with miso soup, and my kids love carrots, onions and seaweed.

Julie - offer the food first and the milk after so she isn't full of milk when you are trying to get her to eat something. Also - remember it can take several tries before a toddler will decide they like something so if she turns up her nose at something, don't force it, just try again later. Mostly I have found that toddlers want to eat whatever you are eating so make a big deal out of how yummy things are. Let her feed herself and don't get upset at the mess as it takes quite a while before they learn to feed themselves somewhat neatly.
