Sometimes, kids latch onto a particular way of having their food prepared or served, and suddenly, that’s the only acceptable way to eat it. While I can’t claim to understand the psychology behind picky eating habits, I’ve always been fascinated by them. So tell me: What’s the one dish or recipe that always gets a free pass from your kid in their picky-eater phase?
Maybe you discovered that your kid enjoyed a particular combination of foods. There are some mash-ups that only a child’s imagination could invent… like Oreos and peanut butter, a la The Parent Trap (1998).
Or, maybe your child’s cleaned plate depends on the specific way some food, like chicken, is cooked.
Could it be as simple as a condiment saving the day when your kid is putting up a fight with veggies at the dinner table?
