[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to [b]generally eat the same meal but can make variations. 
Mine doesnt like veggies mixed in her dinner but will eat them on the side, so I cater to that for example[/b]. 
If you have leftovers, you and DH eat them and let the kids have something easy. So maybe Tuesday and Thursday are leftover days  and the kids know on those days they can have a snack plate or a sandwich and fruit. 
I wouldn’t make a battle over meal
Time but they doesnt mean they get nuggets or mac n cheese every night either. 
I’d say a fruit or veggie is required to get dessert if they’re bad about those.

+1 we all have the same meal but generally I serve things "deconstructed" so everyone can customize to their preference. And I always have fruit and bread on the table so the kids might eat only that. Leftovers don't go to waste because I or DH will usually take them to work for lunch. Also, Friday night is always a hodgepodge clean-out-the-fridge night. I think the main thing in combating food waste is to plan for the leftovers in your meal planning/shopping.[/quote]
