[quote=Anonymous]My kids used to eat so many more foods when they were 2 than they do now at 5. I got tired of making several different foods at mealtimes to cater to different tastes so I make one meal with at least one side that I know they will eat - even if it is rice that they can make more appetizing by putting shredded cheese on it or a stir fry where they only eat the chicken.

We do the "no thank you bite". Where they have to take at least one bite of something new that is served.  If they don't like it, so be it, they don't have to eat it and say no thank you. But about 25% of the time they actually like it and eat more.

I also can't stand it when they look at the food I'm serving and say it looks yucky or disgusting, so we have a family table rule that instead, all they need to say is "I'm not going to eat that today".

That said, my DH is very picky as well so it's me against them so I typically end up making dishes that I like since I'm the one doing the cooking and try to vary it as often as possible. [/quote]
