I have a sandwiches and cold sausage daughter myself and have just about given up getting her to eat anything else (she has a gastrostomy though so I can cheat and shovel things down there!). <br /><br />Our family favourites though - macaroni cheese with bacon and hard boiled eggs in it. <br /><br />stuffed marrow (large zucchini) rings - you can tailor those to tastes if you like - we put savoury rice in them or a bolognese sauce, sometimes tuna and cheese. Bake them with cheese on the top until the marrow is all soft. Even if the child then picks off all the marrow and refuses to eat it, the stuff inside must have taken on something from the marrow (that's my theory and I'm sticking to it!)<br /><br />TiaTiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360092874754466982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-6526311921822983942009-06-02T16:26:52.648-04:002009-06-02T16:26:52.648-04:00Sounds like my house.

They all like fruit of some sort. SO summer is better for that. They will all eat pizza so I keep the mini-pizza crust and a jar of pizza sauce and then cheese and pepperoni. Then I can make the pizza to their liking. Other than that, they eat PB&J or grilled cheese or corn dogs or nuggets. I feel like such a bad mom. I make the veggies and stuff for Randy and I but for the most part they won't eat it. Two of mine will eat noodles with a small bit of pizza sauce on it. The other 2 won't eat noodles. 2 will eat plain rice, 2 won't. (Not the same combination that likes noodles) They all like mac-cheese. In fact, that may be the only thing all 4 can agree on.<br />Good luck,<br />JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-28808204939676874022009-06-02T13:31:04.647-04:002009-06-02T13:31:04.647-04:00Tator tot casserole. 1 lb hamburger cooked (bell p...Tator tot casserole. 1 lb hamburger cooked (bell pepper and onion mixed in if you like), mix with cream of mushroom or chick soup, put on bottom of casserole dish, layer with velveeta, and then top with tator tots, bake till tots are golden brown. I also do lots of stir frys with chicken breasts, ms dash, and zucchini and squash. It takes like 10 minutes.Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946129852495881105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-66216569346599390432009-06-02T12:44:28.748-04:002009-06-02T12:44:28.748-04:00Mer, have you tried dishes that you could somewhat...Mer, have you tried dishes that you could somewhat modify to those who are more picky, without having to make a separate meal? SO your one meal can easily be tailored a bit to accommodate picky eaters. That way you're all kinda eating the same thing. Like pasta for instance. If you make a nice pasta with sauce, chicken, veggies, whatever, you can pull out some of the plain cooked pasta before you add all the "stuff" to it and give that to the pickier ones with some butter on it and maybe grated cheese? You may even be able to mix in some pureed zuchinni (peelied of course) or cauliflower with the plain pasta that will give the kids some veggies without them knowing. Zuchinni and cauliflower don't have much of a taste so they shouldn't be able to discover it....especially if you grate some cheese on top.<br /><br />Quesadillas would be a good thing too...very simple, and you can fill them according to each person's liking. Some may only have cheese in them, but again you should be able to sneak in some pureed veggies without them noticing....like purreed carrots or sweet potatoes.<br /><br />Just a couple of thoughts.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519879301526309089noreply@blogger.com
