Eating. This has been a not-so-fun adventure in our home recently. Our kids were not picky eaters and now they are. Phooey! We have discovered that they will eat almost anything if we simply add the word steak. I do not know why steak works but it does! I think Chicken is the only thing we do not call Steak.
Earlier this week we were eating Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. They were gagging before they sat at the table. Then a few nights later I offered them Meatball Steak and they gobbled it up and asked for 2nds!! Meatball steak is (you guessed it) leftover Meatloaf! Steak is also code word for ground meat, cut up burgers, and of course steak is steak. They do not have steak unless it is on our plate, which I am thinking I haven't had in awhile. Sounds yummy!!
Do you have any tricks that provoke your kids to eat?
FYI: The picture is one I found on the good ole' world wide web, it isn't a picture of our meal!

Our best trick? Serve it with ketchup!! :D
LOL everything in our house is chicken right now, so I'm there with ya! I don't call the food anything and let them come up with their own names for it right now... seems to help the situation! lol
btw, for WFW, do you have a program you edit pictures with? I use paintshop pro and than I just add the text on top of my own photographs. (you can get a trial version at www.corel.com if you haven't used one before). Most programs have an option to put text on pictures (actually, don't think I've seen one that doesnt lol). Than I "resize" it the pictures down to about 1"X1" so it's not a big download.
Anyhow, I hope that helps.
That is so funny! Lydia's too young to "trick" yet...I'll remember steak for later!
