These all sound wonderful. But how do you get your kids to eat this? I have a very fussy 8 year old.

my picky eater doesn't eat what the rest of us eat...he has either chicken nuggets, fish sticks, peanut butter, or grilled cheese. That's all he will eat for dinner. I wish I had ideas for getting him to eat other foods, but I do not!

My daughter is 2 years old. She is fussy, yes, so what we do, is a few nights a week we serve up what we know she will eat, (which is alright because it's all food that we all eat) then the next night, I still serve her the same food that we eat, only I put other things on her plate that I know she will eat, like cut up fruit, bread and butter etc. So I know she is getting something healthy. I try not to make a fuss, but it does get annoying after a while.

Fussy eater 101 (if it doesn't work for you, at least it passes the time):

I don't have enough time to be a cafe, plus I like to eat healthy creative meals, so we use the 1 teaspoon rule.

We put one teaspoon of everything on thier plate, they have to finish just one teaspoon, and can have as much as they like of anything else we made until it is gone (that includes desert, which I make on the weekends).

Sometimes there was fussing, but we just gently always repeated, "you only have to eat that one little teaspoon, and you can have as much of whatever else you like".

Now, at this age, they eat quite a wide variety of things, because they learned that appearance doesn't always mean YUCK. There are still some things they don't like, but they know they can always wash down almost anything with milk. (A good skill to learn, because we all end up in situations some day that we have to graciously choke down something we can't stand because someone else was so kind to cook for us or take us out).

NOTE: I always make a wide variety of things to eat, so they never starve, and there is always something that they will like during a dinner. Also, when we go out to eat, or eat at someone else's house where someone superloaded their plates, we tell them they only have to take one bite of the things brought to them.

Good luck

(OH! I forgot, this was rewarding....when they started school, and had school lunches, they came home to tell me, after all of their complaining, that I cook much better than the school does. Had they never eaten my cooking, I would have never heard that!)

Made a super easy desert for the kids and I tonight (dad is fishing).

mixed up chocolate fudge Jello pudding (but I used the pie filling directions instead...we like that because it is thicker). I put it in cups, then I topped it with whipped cream and sprinkled halloween sprinkles on it. Finally stuck graham cracker rectangles in it to dip and scoop (but we resorted to spoons in the end.)

I didn't say it would be healthy, just easy.

Well, I am guilty of giving our kids hot dogs, dinasour chicken nuggets for lunch (not healthy) or pb & j, but I ofset it by giving fresh fruit or veggies for snacks, instead of chips, or on the side, instead of chips... though occassionally we have chips.

meals I've recently discovering... salisbury steaks (crock pot... easy... did you know they are just minature meatloafs? I had no clue) I guess that's it for now... will post again later
