Beleive me, I've tried everything trying to encourage my kids to have a balanced and varied diet. But they flummox me on every turn, it seems the longer time I spend preparing a meal, the quicker and more vehemently it is rejected.
Trying to get veg down them is a nightmare, I have to literally puree every tiny evidential piece of veg before they deign to eat it (and they're 7 and 3!)
Currently, all I can convince them to eat is pasta with pesto, tuna, spag bol, chilli, chicken curry and baked potatoes. Sandwiches are limited to tuna, marmite or jam - they won't eat cheese, so pizzas are out.
So I just stick to those options and rotate them as much as i can, but, holy crap, I'm getting fed up.
I would maske the effort- I really would- but it's not worth it.
Rant over!!
