[quote=Anonymous]Kids appetites change as they grow.  Many a kid has gone to college and learned to like other things out of pure necessity.  Cook with her and try out new receipes. Cooking helps some people expand their palate as the ownership of the process encourages them to try new things.

Also try expanding from what she already likes.  For instance in place of chicken nuggets suggest fried chicken tenders or grilled chicken nuggets.  Try variations of mac and cheese, like different cheeses or different noodles.  Try a totally different take on things she likes.  For instance she likes cheese and fried nuggets, so maybe she’ll like fried mozarella sticks and marinara sauce.  If she likes the sauce maybe she’ll eat that with pasta.  These are small tweaks but they open ip new meal options and open her up to the idea of at least trying new things.

Make a pack to try a new vegetable each month and try it different ways each week (baked, boiled, roasted, in something, etc etc)

Some people remain picky eaters their entire life but they survive.
