Wish my kids would eat. I have a 6 and a nearly 3 year old. Picky as all get out. I finally got my oldest to try meatloaf the other night, he loved it.
I do a lot of homecooked meals, they eat trees, aka broccoli, any type of fruit, salads, peanut butter on a spoon, chicken nuggets homemade, ravioli/spaghetti, my little one loves chicken and dumplings where my oldest will get sick if he eats one. I feel like a short order cook some nights, but have recently put my foot down on that. Add a picky husband that will eat veggies, as long as they arent in chunks (think thin spaghetti sauce, pureed salsa, yup, I can only shake my head) Muffins....they dont last long here.
Wish I could get everyone on the same menu. Cooking wears me out sometimes.

That is exactly how my little DD is! If it's a vegetable, then she wants it!!! She like baby carrots, broccoli, baby spinach, corn, eggplant, etc...
Did I hear someone say "won't eat".......... they will if they get hungry enough. I had 2 that tried to be picky eaters and when they weren't given any choice in the matter they became much less picky. Granted it took holding our ground for a little while but now even if they don't like it they still eat a small portion........ cause I'm mean and they have to. My DH tells them that they eat what the pot cooks and that's that! No option of going hungry either, unless they misbehave then that might be possible too.

No I meant kids, I got 5 of them. One will eat everything. One doesn't like meat, she loves sweets and she's skinny as a green bean. My 2 yr old loves bread, crackers, and noodles. They all love grilled cheese sandwiches. They are crazy.
The biggest sellers are cheese (especially expensive types
), any kind of fruit, any kind of noodles, most veggies except the 4 yr old won't touch onions and the 1 yr old won't touch potatoes, and anything involving tortillas.
Oh, and banana or pumpkin(squash) bread. My 4 yr old can practically make that from memory now
