[quote=Anonymous]We spent years reading Kids Eat in Color and Ellyn Satter and whatever else in an attempt to get our youngest to eat what we eat. I no longer hold out hope that she'll try something 9 times and then finally accept it, or diversify her diet because those are the foods we offer, or eat well because we're good role models or whatever the hell else.

I make a huge thing of protein pasta (MUST be rotini) at the beginning of the week. I put everything family style on the table and if the spirit moves her she tries what we have. This rarely, rarely happens. Otherwise she eats only pasta and the rest of us eat in peace. My older two started to dread family meals where her preferred food wasn't available so something had to change.

Dinners last week:

Monday: NYT baked panko crusted fish with homemade tartar sauce, crispy roasted baby potatoes, green salad with dill vinaigrette
Tuesday: grilled chicken thighs marinated in mojo sauce, black beans, roasted sweet potatoes or rice, pineapples
Wednesday: baked ziti, salad, strawberries (rare thing the whole family ate)
Thursday: Burger bowls or burgers, oven fries, kiwis
Friday: takeout thai/pizza
Saturday: leftovers/snacks/two kids were out
Sunday: orange glazed salmon over salad
