[quote=Anonymous]My kid won't eat pizza, pasta with anything but a simple butter or cheese sauce, quesadillas or anything with grill marks or visible signs of cooking, and kind of meat (texture and smell aversions), or any kind of leafy green unless blended into a smooth (and not a green smoothy -- she lets me put greens in a berry smoothie as long as they don't turn the smoothie green and there's no bitter flavor from them).

Oyakadon? In my dreams. That's the kind of thing we make often but DD won't touch. If the food is strong smelling (especially if there is meat in it) she sometimes can't eat the more basic foods we prepare for her even at the same table. She has a diagnosed disorder, it's not just stubbornness. But it is hard -- we love food and cooking and it's tough not to feel like we can share that with our DD. We bake with her a lot to make up for it, and try to experiment with recipes that work within her sensory limitations. But yeah, the idea of being able to serve her shawarma or steak tacos or even just pasta with kale or spinach or like a chicken parm or just any of the many, many foods we love sounds thrilling.

Last night I made a pesto sauce out of arugula and pistachios and served it with fresh pasta and crisp pancetta. It was so good. DD has the pasta with some butter and parmesan on top, and some apple sauce since she wouldn't eat the served vegetable. It's fine but internally I'm so sad.[/quote]
