[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 326906, member: 5663"] I can see both sides here. I for one am a picky eater, wouldn't eat so much of what my mom served. I know now I can not stand to eat soft foods, I really need to masticate with my food. It took me moving out of my parent's house, moving to a multi-cultural city, making my own food and going out often to realize that there is actually a lot of food I like, just not my moms! Her's is underspiced, bland, american. I need flavor (not the same as hot spicy, just well flavored). husband and daughter are both vegitarians, eating occasional fish. I don't like fish. What does one do right? We adapt. I make lots of stuff that feeds us, we all like, and it's nutritous. If I want meat, I make it on the side. I often have beans in one dish, meat in another and use the same base meal for both or in combo (like tacos, salad, etc). So for your child, [U]figure out the texture he likes[/U]. If he likes Mac & Cheese, make real mac and cheese, not Kraft and that's the entire family's dinner with a salad and veggie. You can even hide pureed veggies in that. If he likes PB&J, try PB & Celery next, or try honey or agave. Cut things out into cute shapes or use bento boxes. Get some vegitarian options like Trader Joes corn dogs or morningstar chiken nuggest, not processed meat that ALWAYS has a weird texture. My daughter loves ramen. As horrible as it is, it's easy. I make it and put a bunch of peas in there (peas are a protien). Will he eat eggs? My daughter seems to only want to eat hard boiled ones, sometimes scrambled. Rice Chex is gluten free, try stocking girlfriend cereals first because they're fairly easy to get these days. Definitly cut down on the carbs. Encourage more fruits, veggies, nuts & whole grains. Does he like olives, they're full of good fat. For my daughter, if I'm serving something like pasta or enchiladas that have sauce on it she doens't want, I know this already, so I put something on the side for her unspiced. It's easy to do, she's still eating the same as the family. [/QUOTE]
