[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 548764, member: 6705"] My kids don't like beans - as in, bean soup or refried beans. I love them... Being from the border. So, I make them. Beans go into chili (blech, my version of chili is beanless, but whatever it takes). Refried, I make alongside tacos... And a bunch of them get mixed in with the seasoned taco meat. SHHH. Don't tell them. Pureed carrots in spaghetti sauce... I did once have Jett tell me he would NEVER eat tomatoes, but adored spaghetti sauce and ketchup. I just smiled. In fact... You can sneak peas, cauliflower, and broccoli, pureed, into tomato sauces and chili. And I make zucchini bread... Kids HATE squash but inhale zucchini bread. Go figure. Spinach goes into lasagne... Jett doesn't like most fruit - bananas and [I]sometimes[/I] apples. I sneak other fruit into "banana" smoothies. I am one who DOES insist on the 2-bite rule, and I won't make a separate dinner. A while back, I made enchiladas - and I made a special batch for Jett, with cheese/cream sauce, no onions... He made a snarky comment about how next time I would just have to make him something else. husband went OFF. Told Jett to shut his trap and then (more nicely) told me I'd not be making Jett different food EVER AGAIN. OK. Easier for me! husband also loves to make kielbasa and sauerkraut. And he's awesome at it. Jett hates sauerkraut. I compromise when I make it, and rinse it lightly... husband refuses to. A couple of months ago Jett actually threw a fit... And husband was superstressed at the time and threw Jett's plate into the back yard, told him when he got hungry to go out there and eat... If the dog left anything. I've not seen husband do that before or since. I've also not heard Jett complain about food since... He eats it and then he knows he can have other stuff. [/QUOTE]
