I must say I think that I am a pretty good cook. My family all have different eating styles that make my cooking a nightmare. I have terrible headaches and have to eat a special way to keep my headaches under control, Dan has gone to eating almost completely natural, Marlee (7years) is a vegetarian OK really a carbavor because she doesn't eat a ton of vegetables, Sam is just picky and Lizzie my 4 year old is a carnivore and eats mostly meat. I am not sure when we became dinosaurs but this really makes cooking meals hard. Sometimes it is more than I can take. So guess what has happened?.......I don't make great meals anymore. Today I made BBQ chicken with funeral potatoes and blueberry muffins. I am the only one who ate it. Dan had chicken (no sauce), the kids had muffins and I have a lot of potatoes left over. I want my family to be able to eat the way they believe (Marlee doesn't eat meat because she loves animals..etc) but it is making me feel like a bad cook. It makes me tired. So for now I will be a short order cook and not put my energy into big meals that I eat by myself. Pancakes anyone?

Oh, Katie. That is miserable, but your dinner sounded delicious! I wish I could come over and eat your leftover potatoes...those are my favorite! But I agree with you, if nobody will eat it, I'd put my foot down! Miles is probably the pickiest kid ever and I have worked and worked and worked and he has gotten tons better. So don't give up with your kids! Good luck, Love, Rindi
Katie, I always feel like a short order chief during lunch. It seems like I have about 10 different orders when the grandkids are here. I did the same thing when you were all little. I still hate lunch. Dinner would be ever so much harder. Good luck, Mom
