Since they were babies they have always eaten pretty much everything. <br /><br />When we were living in India, they were willing to try more exotic foods than I was. I've tried to raise them not to have food discriminations like I do. Even if it's a food I don't like, I never show it because I want them to try it at least once. So far this technique works. <br /><br />Since they were tall enough to stand on a stool and see over the counter, I've also included them in cooking with me. My grandmother did this with me and it's how I learned how to cook. I want them to see the ingredients and watch and learn the techniques. It's also a great time for us to chit chat.Alisahttp://www.blindianlove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-54242871489794234992009-10-12T03:29:34.173-07:002009-10-12T03:29:34.173-07:00Can someone explain to me why only in America do y...Can someone explain to me why only in America do you find a "kids" menu? And usually it's filled with junk food (chicken nuggets etc.)<br /><br />In Italy, France, the Caribbean, etc. kids will eat a less spicy version of whatever the adults are eating.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-50307777349448992632009-10-07T10:26:37.770-07:002009-10-07T10:26:37.770-07:00My kids live and breath a strict diet of noodles a...My kids live and breath a strict diet of noodles and bread. Not seriously, but they do prefer certain items over others. My kiddos have the bad habit of smelling everything. We do have one rule; You must taste everything. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-43809501578250227042009-10-06T08:10:50.440-07:002009-10-06T08:10:50.440-07:00Kate,

I think the key is that they keep an open mind to try new things.<br /><br />Olivia,<br />Thanks for the advert.

Her idea is to give easy, quick (and affordable to boot) meal tips for you and your family and follows Lori's idea that you should just feed your children the same thing you eat. I'm happy my son eats lentils and shrimp, but it's definitely because we eat them as well and just serve them to him.<br /><br />So enjoy: http://www.whatareyoufeedingyourkidsthesedays.com/<br /><br />OliviaOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308921132214932014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-80537826339398940942009-10-06T00:36:26.648-07:002009-10-06T00:36:26.648-07:00Um, yes, food causes trouble in our home-- sometim...Um, yes, food causes trouble in our home-- sometimes. The boys actually do eat a pretty good variety of veggies, legumes, meats, etc. so I can't complain, but sometimes it's a struggle. Anyway, I recently finished a memoir/cookbook by a former chef mom of four, which discusses, among other things, the very issue of kids eating off the kids menu vs, adult foods. It's pretty neat-- you might want to check it out: Too Many Cooks, by Emily Franklin.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975826433125245969noreply@blogger.com
