[quote=Anonymous]My kids are younger, but yes, I generally make things that are what DH and I enjoy. But I always make sure that there’s something they they WILL eat, and I try to space out the more challenging meals. So if I make a tofu broccoli stir fry, I serve it with soba noodles (which they will eat and has protein) and a sauce that they like, and then the next day I’ll do something that I know they like. I find that they’re kind of unpredictable about what they’ll eat anyway, so I figure I might as well just enjoy my meals. One of them randomly just started eating spinach after rejecting it forever. The other boycotts various foods for months at a time (examples include salmon, tofu, certain fruits, even chicken for a little while) and then suddenly will start eating it again.

All that said, I think that so much of this depends on your kids’ temperaments and your own personal tolerance level for conflict at the dinner table. Also, I was a super picky eater and now I eat everything, so I don’t think that what kids eat when they’re young is a huge deal.[/quote]
