It was tough for her but I'm glad she gave me that choice.<br /> It might be worth while checking out the vegetarian society. I am however wondering if this is new and a faze or if she just doesn't like meat. Will she eat fish? Oh and if she doesn't like the texture of tofu try the silken one or tempeh.Maddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-57331619704881757222012-08-29T23:06:57.694+10:002012-08-29T23:06:57.694+10:00My youngest is about to turn 9 & has only beco...My youngest is about to turn 9 & has only become more adventurous with trying new foods this year! Thankfully his big brother is really into a wide variety of food & always has been. The Donna Hay kids annual (just out this month) always has good tried & tested dinner/snack/lunchbox recipes. There are lots of kids cookbooks but not all are created equal! The WW & family circle books are good - FC do a great couple of books with step by step pictures, terrific or kids to read. Out of print now but sometimes turns up at clearance sales.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144180266896805067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-21671037873346563292012-08-28T13:18:21.208+10:002012-08-28T13:18:21.208+10:00Yep, it's all about pasta, sauce and cheese in...Yep, it's all about pasta, sauce and cheese in our house at the moment (at least the boy still eats everything!). If I try to introduce something new I'm met with an almost panicky "I don't like it, I don't like it!!" I try not to let it get to me and hope she'll grow out of it.Ferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868596428499218246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-35285063620075208722012-08-28T09:24:34.009+10:002012-08-28T09:24:34.009+10:00I have fussy eaters too, although mine are meat ea...I have fussy eaters too, although mine are meat eaters, I have trouble getting them to eat anything remotely looking like vegetables and fruit. That is my constant battle.<br /><br />I used to love cooking too, then as thte kids got fussy I just stopped being adventurous. I recently started up a new blog to try and get me "re-inspired" about cooking. I am working my way through all of my cookbook/recipes. It has been on hold after our recent insterstate move but now am thinking I need to start it up again and try out some of my recipes once more.<br />That pasta looks so yummy,,,,,I have been thinking of getting a pasta machine like yours but don't know if it will just be a novelty for me and then gather dust in the back of my cupboard lol.OurGangof7https://www.blogger.com/profile/11112909755671690941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-92172818128269750562012-08-28T08:06:40.012+10:002012-08-28T08:06:40.012+10:00Ahh, Lisa M above me's parents must have known...Ahh, Lisa M above me's parents must have known mine, they had the same philosophy, although as a teen my mum did concede to stop making me eat liver and kidneys (I mean really, who has to concede to that?!) Sounds like a good plan to encourage the eating though, and it's always fun to play with your food :oDKaty Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-59408292857783333272012-08-27T23:41:43.476+10:002012-08-27T23:41:43.476+10:00Oh I admire you.

I have always given my children the same choices I was given as a child, being:<br />1) Eat it or go hungry<br />2) If you don't eat it now, you can have it for breakfast<br />3) It's a pity you will miss out on ice-cream because you didn't eat your dinner.<br />I recently was tired of the 'I don't like that vegetable' and allowed my 3 children to pick one vegetable that they never have to eat again - I now just serve them something else and expect it to be eaten.<br />Lucky for me though, none have decided to be vegetarian - this is because I told them (when they have raised the subject) that they could no longer enjoy (if that's possible) cheeseburgers from McDonalds! No conviction.<br />Good luck, you are doing well. I wish I were as patient.<br /> Lisa Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839539332559824489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-24819699040566204252012-08-27T23:11:30.886+10:002012-08-27T23:11:30.886+10:00Yum - looks good.

Some of our 'stock' recipes included homemade vegetable soup, vegetarian stack ( no cheese) vegie burgers, anything with light soy sauce, cous cous, with lemon, peas and broadbeans ( precooked and popped out of their skins}, Christmas pudding made without eggs or butter ( or added sugar) pesto with garlic,chilli and pinenuts, home made nutloaf etc etc. I keep a separate cook book filled with vegan recipes that she likes and we have a cookup when ever she visits :O) stuffed mushrooms are another favourite. Think of it as a challenge, it gets easier.Breakfast Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-417284160920862232012-08-27T20:16:24.159+10:002012-08-27T20:16:24.159+10:00Oh, a vegetarian who pulls out the green bits.
