This one hits home! Like Zesty’s son, 2Chili is also very fond of Kraft Dinner (and ketchup on said mac ‘n cheese, of course). These tips from Zesty are good, and many of them I have already employed around our house. The biggest one I could add is simply to serve what you want to serve. All I ask from 2Chili is he try whatever it is I’m serving. If he genuinely doesn’t like it, out comes the Kraft Dinner. It’s an agreement that works for us!

In my sauce I put veggies of everykind....Tomatoes, Tomatoe paste, peppers (red, green, yellow and orange) mushrooms (often chopped super fine and fried with hamburger) Celery, Onion and Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots.....when you throw broccoli, cauliflower and carrots into a food proccesor and chop til super fine, noone knows they are there:) I then add spices to suit the taste buds of my family....and they eat all of it. As for the kids, I take the sauce throw in a hint of brown sugar and puree it until it looks like it came from a can....slightly overcook the whole wheat noodles and toss it all together, they have no idea it hasn't come out of a can:) and it is totally healthy:) I agree that getting kids involved in the cooking and shopping process does wonders for having them try something....my son has done both with me since he was born and you can feed him anything:) Good luck:) I watch kids in my home who would rather eat processed pre packeaged food and I would rather not….I make an awesome homemade sauce and could never figure out why the kids would rather eat canned spaghetti instead.

I agree that getting kids involved in the cooking and shopping process does wonders for having them try something….my son has done both with me since he was born and you can feed him anything:)
Good luck:)
