Good question. Some days it is so frustrating trying to get him to eat! It's like he turned 5 and he became ultra picky.

He will rarely eat meat... forget hamburger, bbq, steak, meatloaf, and just about anything else in that catagory. He also hates mashed potatos, hash browns, bake potatoes, and lettuce. He also hates beans now. Sometimes he says he hates spaghetti and just wants to eat the plan noodles no sauce.

I usually go grocery shopping alone but just happened to take him with me this weekend and he was actually asking to buy different vegtables to prepare instead of buying canned or frozen. We bought corn and green beans. He had fun shucking corn and helping me put it in the pot to cook. Tomorrow we'll do the greenbeans. He loves to help cook which I don't do enough. I am hoping this summer to let him pick out a recipe for us to make to get him to try new things.

The foods that he never seems to refuse are tacos or burritos, cheese manacotti, cheese quisadilla, cheese ravioli. He loves grilled cheese, cheese pizza, sometimes pasta salad, mac & cheese (I'll put ham and brocolli in it sometimes) soup, he loves wonton soup. He will eat breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs, grits, fruit) He also loves rice usually. We have salad night every so often. He doesn't eat lettuce but he'll put the other fresh raw veggies, cheese, and boiled egg in a bowl and eat that. The other night we made our own subs and he liked that... he did ham, cheese, tomatos, pickles, and olives.
