 If your kids are picky (mine's not thank goodness), try making different dishes in to meatballs. We had enchilada meatballs tonight, we've had chicken teriyaki meatballs, meatloaf meatballs, orange chicken meatballs, and I'm sure a few others. They're always a hit and they're not scary looking. #parentstr #momstr #foodstr 
 I would not, have any competing, bit's of food, touching any other bit's of food, on my plate, as a kid.
That's probably just my autism though🤔. 
 I think a lot of kids are this way, and I've seen some adults do this too. I feel like this would be a good solution, entree in meatball form, sauce on the side for dunking and whatever side away from the meatball.  
 I'm actually much better now, as an adult, but I do still have reservations about certain food stuffs touching another. Where the fuck does that shit come from🤔😂!!  
 Lol, who knows. Little minds are very stubborn, I would only eat white pancakes as in just barely cooked through so they weren't brown at all on the outside 🤷‍♀️😂. Glad you've conquered it for the most part. 
 Thank you Ma'am, I should know better at my age😬😂.  
 No prob! At least you've tried 😂😂 
 How can food be scary looking? 
 Kids are weird sometimes when you're introducing them to new foods 🤷‍♀️. Maybe intimidating is a better word for something that most people consider not "kid food". I've always fed my kid whatever we were eating, but that's not always the case. If you make it fun like meatballs or putting it on some kind of crust and calling it pizza, it makes it more approachable for kids that sometimes don't like to try new things. A little bit of familiar goes a long way. 
 Oh now I see what what you mean, good that is intimidating for kids 👍🏼 
 Yes 😁

 our 3yo is so random.
something that's devoured one night is called "yuck" the next. some days are 300 calorie days, others 3000.

 It gets better and worse and better again 😂🤷‍♀️

 I subscribe to a meal planning service called CookSmarts, they have tons of recipes. I'd have never thought to make so many different kinds, lol. Creativity is in the eye of the beholder 😂🤷‍♀️ 
 I'll have to check out CookSmarts. Thanks!
