[quote=Anonymous]This is a good idea. DD's teacher always talks about "Taco Tuesday" so for awhile we were having them at home on Tuesdays until she completely rejected tacos, lol. But books about different foods sometimes sparks interest - like Dragons eat Tacos. My DD loves helping out in the kitchen and will help cut fruit and stuff which helps a little with her eating or makes her at least more willing to taste something.

quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are picky as well and we feel your pain. My 7 year old also does not like nuggets, burgers and a lot of other "kid food". He will eat the pizza we get every Friday and is slowly getting willing to try other pizza places. That said, he does like Indian butter chicken, steak, and a few other unexpected things, so we just keep trying.

What I try to do is think of something they like and then try to think of a tiny twist on it. So, they like chicken thighs, so we tried this chicken thigh recipe with a honey sauce. We made some plain as well. But the kid likes honey so he tried the honey sauce. Of course, he liked it twice and now is back to plain, so who knows....[/quote]

PP. The other thing we do is indulge any perceived interest in any food. They got this game "tacos vs. burritos" for Christmas from my MIL and my son said something about doing a real tacos vs. burritos challenge. He's extremely lukewarm on tacos, but as soon as possible after that, we got ingredients to make burritos. Same with Chinese bao; he got a book about a girl making bao from the library and showed an interest in it so we made bao. He tried only a tiny bite but it was something. It's veeeeery slow but hopefully it'll pay dividends at some point. [/quote][/quote]
