If they refuse to eat what's on the table, what happens?

I think it all sounds yummy. Do you have a recipe you'd be willing to share for the shepard's pie?

BTW, I'm asking this not because I want to critique your parenting but because I'm looking for alternatives to what I do (which is say "you know where the peanut butter is.")

You'll have to ask naomikritzer, because she made it for us.

Recipe is here; substitute 1/2 c. tomato juice + 1/2 c. red wine for the beef stock if you like, and use hamburger for the "beef mince."

They get to make bread with peanut butter.

We go through TONS of peanut butter.

Ah. Obviously we both went to the "I'm not running a restaurant" school of dealing with picky eaters.

Go team you.

I used to work in the kitchen of a private school. We used the "if you don't like what is being served, there is bread and peanut butter (and jam and honey)" solution, too. How much peanut butter and bread we went through in a given meal was a pretty reliable measure of whether it was worth serving again in the future.


Can I eat at your place, too? It all sounds yummy.
