I’ve made my fair share of fancy, healthy foods for Kai, only to have him snub meal after meal after meal. Like, a warm, creamy bowl of butternut squash risotto? Rejected. What about some grilled brie and apple sandwiches? Kai would eat only the bread–the piece not touching any cheese. So basically, just fried bread. Okay, well how about some whole-wheat, zucchini pancakes with flaxseed meal? Sounds a little hippie, but it’s good…for being whole-wheat zucchini pancakes with flaxseed meal. Kai will actually eat this, but only if drenched with butter and syrup, of course.

Feeling desperate (and exhausted and/or lazy) the other night, I sat Kai down to a dinner of sliced cheddar cheese, frozen peas and corn straight out of the freezer, and some plain, NON-whole-wheat angel hair pasta, and guess what? He feasted like it was a Thanksgiving meal.

Now if only the husband were this easy to feed.
