[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 486045, member: 11791"] Yes, you do have to figure out their tastes. My kids (both of them!) absolutely hate flavored yogurt, for example... and vanilla is about "the worst" in their opinion... they would much rather have PLAIN. (no problem... healthier and cheaper? I'll buy into that) Leave sweet-but-healthy stuff lying around where he can "snitch" it. Like some GORP (good old raisins and peanuts), or even just some dried fruit (apple slices, dates, apricots, etc.) Sure its high-calorie... but is also high food value and high fiber... definitely a better choice. Know where you want to end up... but be prepared to take the long way around. K2 will eat any squash going... except spaghetti squash. K1 will NOT eat squash at all... except for spaghetti squash! But both will eat squash, which is health, and husband doesn't care what kind it is. So, one night, its K2's kind, and leftovers get frozen in small containers. Next week, its K1's kind, and K2 gets a reheat of the one she likes. Even pumpkin pie is better than, say, pecan pie... at least you're still getting that beta-carotine! Also, get creative... if he doesn't like veggies, will he eat them [I]still frozen[/I]? say, some frozen corn or peas or carrots, as a snack? (because they don't have much taste that way...) [/QUOTE]
