Fussy Eaters
Hi
I posted a response a few days ago, but it never showed up. Anyway, DH
complains constantly that we need to eat more healthfully. He's right,
but he doesn't care for most healthful foods :-) I find that annoying.
He's allergic to chicken and I'm allergic to turkey, so that rules out
a LOT. (We also get sick from garlic, which we both used to like a lot)
He doesn't like real fish (just Gortons and whatnot) and I don't like
soup. And I don't like spicy food and DH and our son do! My family
likes whole wheat pasta, but by the time we add sauce, and usually meat
or ricotta, it's not healthful at all.
Our four year-old would like to have PB&honey, ham or shrimp every
night. He will eat chicken and turkey and any kind of fish, but
doesn't like beef!
So we (too often!!!) end up with three meals, with two on most nights!
And Zander won't eat ANY vegetables, no matter how they're glazed,
mashed, sauced or otherwise hidden. Of course I try to make items that
will have leftovers, so I am really cooking one meal per night.
(I was forced to sit at the table for HOURS many childhood nights; so
we give vitamins instead.)
