Maybe even vegetarian type meals? I have a few picky eaters and on some weekends we have all the kids so there are 7 plus my husband and myself so it would need to be relatively easy and of course healthy, low fat and nutritious. I have one kiddo who hates almost everything except pasta, sandwiches and cereal(of course, it could be also that he just prefers his moms cooking which I can respect). I feel guily trying to make my kids eat foods they don’t like but for the sake of their health they need to eat veggies, beans, whole grains, proteins, etc.
So anyone with good recipes for picky eaters would be appreciated.
And please don’t just say ‘make them eat what you serve’. I’ve tried that and it seems cruel to watch them sit there so long and then leave the table hungry because after awhile I tell them to just go if they refuse to eat their veggies or whatever. I also have tried withholding any snacks or desserts if they won’t eat their dinner – doesn’t work either.
Thanks!

is there any dish I can prepare using salsa? I had to buy two bottles to get a free lb of ground beef and don’t know what else can I do with it.
