Senior Cook
DH and I like most foods, and have very similar tastes, so I just cook what I fancy at the time, and DH will very happily eat it. Occasionally I ask him if he has any 'special requests' - if I'm stuck for ideas!
Our kids are another matter - despite making all my own baby foods when they were little, and despite introducing them to many different ethnic foods and tastes when they were very young - they have still sadly deteriorated into a typical kid 'Pizza & Hot Dog' preference. My youngest is more willing to try new things than here older sister (who lives, I swear, on Lean Pockets, Pizza and Macaroni Cheese....). I try to compensate by serving them the same vegetables but with a different protein source (a small amount of mac 'n' cheese with lots of peas, corn & mashed potatoes is better for them than just a big bowl of mac 'n' cheese on it's own). Or I'll serve the same pasta, but with a different sauce. I then encourage them to just try a bit of what we are having....
