#HOW TO MAKE MAC N CHEESE IN DONT STARVE MAC#
For example, for about 2 years he would not eat cheezeburgers, odd I know, but I would make it with something he loved like mac and cheeze. I'm conscious of what he does and does not like and tend to mix and match. I have never given him a second option so he never expects it. To conquer my dinner battles with him I use a very simple and easy tactic- what I make is what he gets, period. To make up for whatever he isnt' getting vitamins are always a good option. To this day the only veggie he will eat is corn. My son tried refusing to eat certain food when he was little. Consider having them help you choose a "mystery fruit/veggie" (one the kids are not familiar with) every shopping trip for the whole family to try. Involve them in shopping, especially in the produce isle. Talk about nutrition with your kids, how different foods have things your bodies need to help them grow and stay healthy.

He loved them until he got used to the texture of meat. take firm tofu, cut it into bars, soak it in broth (beef, veggie or chicken) overnight, coat the marinated tofu in shake n bake (or breadcrumbs) and bake (I think at arounf 300 for 10-20 minutes). My son, when he wouldn't touch meat, liked tofu nuggets. the change of routine may make them more likely to taste the veggies. spread out a sheet or tablecloth on the floor, and enjoy a picnic inside. Have a "picnic" tasting party dinner - serve baby carrots, bell pepper strips (yellow, red and orange are sweeter than green, and are preferred in my house), grape tomatoes, and a little veggie dip of some sort. And they're getting used to fruit tastes without much added sweetness. They think they're having a milkshake, not fruit. Make fruit smoothies with yogurt, a bananna (you can freese peeled banannas for smoothies), milk and fresh or frozen bagged fruit (the frozen fruit lasts a while longer then the fresh). Peas, diced tomatoes, spinach and broccli pieces go nicely with kraft dinner. So, don't make the PB sandwitch or the bowl of mac and cheese until they've tried a bite of the real dinner. We would let him have an alternative meal for a while, if he tasted willingly at least a bite of other things offered. Okay, although my son would eat some veggies (broccli steamed and raw tomatoes)- he wouldn't eat meat for a while, and has been awful about tasting new (to him) things. That is why they have parents in the first place. Also remember that younger children don't have the reasoning to know what is good for them or not. Beleive me, when you show your kids who is boss, they will get it. Time in the day is too short to be fixing special meals. Unless there is an allergy everyone should eat what is prepared. My current husband was married to a woman that had a daughter and he said he was a "short order cook" to everyone. When I was young we all ate what we were cooked.

Having both parents back each other up helps. They know they can get away with it so they do it. Honestly, you people are letting your kids run you. If he still won't eat it, we put it on the fork and tell him to open up. He usually likes what we give him once he tries it. When he comes here my husband and I don't put up with the tantrums. Not sure if it helps but just maybe something for later My friend, til this day, her daughter is 15, makes 2 seperate meals. but we have made the rule well known, first and foremost. We all get in the mood for things and i respect that the same might go for her. Now sometimes, if she comes home and says she wants breakfast for dinner or something i didnt plan, i will put away what i was going to make and have a "treat" and she knows that we are doing something special for her. I was told, and i can see how it would easily happen if i let it, but if you give the option of other things, then they will always think they have that option and refuse to eat what they dont know or maybe not what they are in the mood for.

now if i am making something "differant" or maybe a little spicey, i will give her a back up. mussels, shrimp, even a liver or two.īut i also i only have 1 kid and i was advised very early on, only make one meal. I will say i am lucky, my girl eats almost everything. when we offer her food, we never say " oh you might not like it" or have any opinion one way or another". I know that all kids are differant, but my experience is that we have a 4 yr old.
