[quote=Anonymous]I always included something that the kids are consistently willing to eat in the meal that is available in unlimited quantities, but it might not be the "main" component.  And I always had milk and water as options, since my kids are OK with milk.

So, I might serve lentil soup with bread (which my kids will eat) and apple slices (which my kids will eat), and then my kids would eat bread and apples, which with a glass of milk is fine.

Or, I'd make those spiced chickpeas, and serve them over brown rice, with caesar salad (which for some reason my kids would eat), and my kids would have rice and salad and milk.

I always packed a protein in their lunch that I knew they'd eat, even if that meant my youngest took sunbutter and honey sandwiches for an entire school year, so I knew they'd get something besides milk for protein, and I usually included a few types of fruit/veggies/legumes, and aimed for one they'd eat.

They eat almost everything now as teenagers, hence the past tense.    [/quote]
