I also don't cater to picky children. They all come around in time. I serve all kinds of food, and try to shake it up with new flavours and ethnic foods. I usually do my lunch prep at supper the night before (chop veg, roast meat, grate cheese, etc) so that lunch is quick to cook. Snacks are a fruit or veg, with a side (apple and peanut butter, grapes and cheese, berries and yogurt, veggie sticks and hummus, etc)
