[quote=Anonymous]This is really funny. I only serve appetizers before a formal holiday meal like Thanksgiving or Christmas/Christmas Eve. If I served my little kids appetizers, I can guarantee that they won't eat a bite of dinner. And dinner is normally more nutritious than cocktail hour. I often set out a big tray of crudites like olives, cut peppers, carrots, celery and the kids eat that instead of nagging me for food or sneaking food while I'm still cooking (like the cheese I need for dinner). My parents would say something like this though. I think my parents (who are overweight) eat dessert every night of their lives whereas we have it once a week and it's more of a special thing.
