With all of the things that you can't do because
of someone's allergies or dislikes, it sounds like
your family is just SCREWED.

Many people here have given you good ideas and
solutions that THEY use, and it works for them.

You spend more time looking for excuses as to why
something won't work than you spend trying to make
an idea work.

Make your picky daughter(s) and hubby fix their
own food for a couple of days or maybe even a
week.
See how long they stay picky about things that
they "don't like".

I don't have daughters. I have one. I am a picky eater. I came from
parents that are picky eaters. Once picky, always picky. Clearly you've
never been one.

I was a picky eater. I gave it up when I went to college because I
didn't want to look unsophisticated.

I have yet to meet someone who said they used to be a picky eater and no
longer are.

Well, I went to school with a boy who ate only junk--candy, cough
drops, ice cream. I know this because we shared a pediatrician
and mom somehow found out. When he proposed to his wife, she said
he'd have to eat normal food. And now he does. So there's an
example of an extremely picky eater who no longer is.

I was extremely picky when I was a child up until I was in my 30's.
Now I'll eat just about anything.

Hello. My name is Felice and I am a former picky eater.

Obviously you don't get out much. Growing up many of my school
friends were very picky eaters, as they matured so did their palates.
Where I witnessed first hand the greatest palate maturing is in the
military... a stint in the military would have done you a world of
good in many areas, Julie.

Back to topic... last night's dinner was a delicious pasta salad:
http://i53.tinypic.com/11sjott.jpg
Red leaf lettuce, broccoli (including barked stems), bok choy (leaves
and stems), cucumbers, carrots, celery, green bell peppers, grape
tomatoes, garbanzos, and pasta. Dressing; EVOO, apple cider vinegar,
black pepper, white pepper, dijon mustard, honey, Penzeys Italian herb
blend, salt. Julie needn't comment, I realize that she
wouldn't/doesn't eat anything on that plate.

Thanks. And it couldn't be easier to prepare. I like to prep enough
veggies for four big platefuls, may as well while I'm at it... makes
four full meals and uses the full pound of pasta a fourth for each
plate. Then I vary the additions and dressings according to mood and
what's on hand. I actually prefer to eat pasta as this type of salad
than as the typical in tomato sauce style, especially during warm
weather... I use no recipe or measurements, salad is limited only by
ones imagination. And that's one of the four new every day dinner
plates I picked up at Walmart for $1.78 each, really very nicely made
plates, and they look as elegant as dinnerware costing twenty times
that price. I have a full set of service for 12 Alpico that cost me a
mint that I rarely use... but at $1.78 I don't even think about
breakage.

Thanks. I relized too late that I should have cleaned the plate edge,
but the picture wasn't planned, was a last minute decision to show
Julie how easy.

I'm a picky eating and I've eaten octopus. Can't say that I liked it
though.

I grew up in a house of picky eaters and married into a family of picky
eaters. To me it's no big deal.

It's not genetic, you know, and with that attitude it will never
get any better. I wouldn't brag about it if it were my shortcoming.

Wellllll....if we take it beyond the individual and specific to the
general.....Mankind is about the pickiest eater on the planet. At least
in the machinations, ritual, and down right whimsy it goes through to
acquire and prepare, let alone consume it's food with ever increasing
ritualism.

True, some life forms have a single form of nourishment that renders
them more exclusive than the human mammal, but that is less picky than
it is they way the life form is constructed, with no choice in the
matter. Even some Pandas and a few other mammals as well as other
species have very restricted diets. Especially compared to Mankind's,
which, it seems to me, will eat just about anything not actually harmful
to it and even then, arguments about sugar and coffee can be made with
as much vehemence as about alcohol.

I'm not bragging and I certainly don't see it as a shortcoming.

Well, I do. I'm a picky eater myself, and I see it as a handicap.
