[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is what she served any different from serving Mac and cheese, or PB&J, or any of a dozen other kid-friendly, easy to prepare meals that someone is likely to have the ingredients for on a last minute basis?

Who goes to someone's house after running into them at the park and expects a freshly prepared, multi-course meal?[/quote]

People have said that they would have added some carrot sticks or asked if the kid wanted the sauce or a sprinkle of cheese.  That does not amount to a freshly prepared multi-course meal.

Both Mac and cheese and pbj have more than one food group.  I would probably still put some grapes or something on the table, but I think those are better meals.

To be clear, I wouldn’t have said anything to any of these meals.  If you served my kids pasta with butter they would have eaten it and said thank you.  But OP seemed to be asking whether what she served was a common meal.  In my house, I almost always serve more than one food group at a meal.  That doesn’t mean that every kid eats everything I serve but the foods are there.  So, pbj with milk and applesauce, or pasta with a choice of butter or vodka sauce and some cutie oranges.  Nothing fancy or time consuming, just some choice.  I would hold myself to that standard with guests over too.
