[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 629039, member: 84"] He may shake his head like you've lost your mind but I bet he's enjoying the results. lol It's hard to experiment and add variety to meals when there are people in the family who flat out refuse to try anything new, especially if the budget is tight because it winds up wasting perfectly good food. It took years to break Fred of the phrase "I don't like....." whatever it happened to be that he had yet to taste. That was his response to anything new. I just informed him that it was the menu, take it or leave it, the rest of us would eat it. Discovering to his wonder that he liked most of the "new" he stopped saying it so much. Katie drives me nuts. All I hear is that her kids won't eat this or that.......which of course is always something from scratch or healthy. I gently remind her they sure don't have a problem eating them at family gatherings. Alex is the pickiest. Evan did a complete about face and loves fresh fruits and veggies......one thing our SD actually did right was to add one of each to school lunches. (because the rest of the meal is disgusting 99 percent of the time) I love to cook ect. I just don't love the clean up part. And as the old saying goes........great cooks are messy cooks. lol [/QUOTE]
