[quote=Anonymous]We do. But it's mostly because I refuse to kid-ify our meals. We eat a lot of spicy Indian food, and a lot of large salads. Both those things are no-gos for my daughter. I generally take the ingredients from them (e.g. rice, plain dal before adding spices, plain yogurt, or the cut-up veggies from the salad that she likes) and make her a special plate. But sometimes that's not enough to fill her up, so I'll microwave some turkey meatballs or give her some plain pasta on the side. I feel kind of guilty about doing this, but we're not the type of people who eat automatically kid-friendly food like roasted chicken breasts or ham and potatoes or whatever, so I do try to cut her some slack.[/quote]
