[quote=Anonymous]Roasted butternut squash pureed with some chicken stock, roasted garlic, and heavy cream (s/p). Serve thick as soup or pasta sauce. We also throw butternut squash into a nice risotto. Looks similar to mac n cheese, so DD has no problem giving it a go, and it's now her favorite meals. We don't hide things. DD see's us eating the meal and tries everything at least once. She likes 99% of what she tries, we just don't make a big deal out of it. I threw broccoli on her plate this week, which we don't eat often (I cook and I don't like it), but she took a nibble and ate most of it. If I left dinner up to DD she would request meatballs with squash pasta and peaches every night (possibly a turkey hot dog or crab cake as well). Start setting the expectation that there will be one dinner, everyone will eat it, and if they want to have some sort of choice. You're giving them control over the meal. Either you're a short order cook or not. They won't go hungry.[/quote]
