I have a little boy who refuses to eat any combined foods, even just a sandwich. He's been here for 3 years so I've gotten used to him, but will be so happy to serve casseroles when he's off to JK this Sept. Just today when I was preparing roast beef, potatoes and broccoli for lunch the two oldest children asked me for hot dogs. Ummmm, I only serve hot dogs about twice a year, but they get crap like that all the time at home. I believe they get all their nutrition at my house! I was a busy Mom at one time with young children too but I never served all that crap!

Anyway, I'm rambling. I've told his mother that once in a while he is going to be starving at pickup time because there are going to be days where I just want to serve a casserole or crockpot dish when I'm over-busy and she completely understands. I agree with the 'I'm not a restaurant' line.

My newest baby won't eat any veggies so she's driving her Mom and me crazy, but we both serve all organic produce and non-packaged foods so we are at least working on it together.
