For example, he always said he didn't like spaghetti when he was younger. I didn't worry much about it because everyone has food preferences. However, several years later I found out that it was the texture of the long spaghetti noodles that he didn't like. When different shaped pasta was used, there was no problem. Who knew?<br /><br />Sounds like you son (and family) are eating pretty well. No need to worry at your house in that area.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-41256598438895557082014-02-21T16:21:33.028-05:002014-02-21T16:21:33.028-05:00Umm, if I were to list his top 5 most hated foods,...Umm, if I were to list his top 5 most hated foods, meatloaf would be at the top ... chili is about 3rd or 4th ... I think he doesn't like those mixed textures. So ... I adapt. He has to take a couple of bites of whatever the main course is and then can fill up on other healthy stuff (remember when I told you we eat a lot of cottage cheese around here??). I want him to choose to eat healthy food when he's an adult and so I try to avoid alienating him from food now. I don't care what form he eats it in as long as he DOES eat it. :)Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-35088833560178170742014-02-21T15:47:24.452-05:002014-02-21T15:47:24.452-05:00Mmm...I really like quiche, and that one looks goo...Mmm...I really like quiche, and that one looks good!A Place to Residehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039003410869195300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-31818455940136911662014-02-21T13:55:56.090-05:002014-02-21T13:55:56.090-05:00Overall, spinach has a fairly mild flavor, so I pu...Overall, spinach has a fairly mild flavor, so I put it into a lot of things for added nutritional value like chili, meatloaf, etc. Have you ever tried it cooked that way? I do know that cooked spinach can have a slimy texture sometimes and I wouldn't blame him if he didn't like that. However, I find that frozen chopped spinach avoids this problem. But it doesn't matter. He likes it raw. Good for him.<br /><br />Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-51106373092281338882014-02-21T11:25:23.937-05:002014-02-21T11:25:23.937-05:00The quiche looks delicious.

He will eat raw spinach (we're working quickly through a bag before it goes bad--I swear that spinach multiplies exponentially as soon as you open it) but cooked? Highly unlikely. <br /><br />Have a good weekend.Krisnoreply@blogger.com
