my kids actually kind of stink in the vegetarian food they like, too. they're all ridiculously picky eaters, although at this point the oldest (almost 9) will force herself to eat stuff she's not crazy about out of pity for me when everyone else is complaining about the dinner i cooked.
for example - i made the honey-baked lentils a few nights ago. omg, they were soooo good! i mixed it up with brown rice and chowed down. did the kids like it? nope, none of them did. they all moaned and griped about it.

i really hate mealtimes with my children. sad, but true. they take all of the joy out of dining together. i am not a short order cook and refuse to cook 4 different dinners just so everyone gets what they want. the result is 3 whining kids at dinnertime - really makes me not look forward to dinnertime. sorry...went off there. this should probably be in the steam room.
