I was also a picky eater as a child, although you wouldn't know it watching me eat today. I had a terrible time at the dinner table, with my mother cajoling me to eat what she had made. Because of that I decided that if my daughters didn't want to eat what was served, fine. I didn't make them alternative meals, as my mother always said, "I am not a restaurant." My oldest is now 26, my youngest os 19. They now eat like adults. They eat well, they've outgrown their pickiness, and they even eat things I refuse to eat, because they're just gross! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227972625321427309.post-79590935596313382942011-01-06T11:06:46.837+02:002011-01-06T11:06:46.837+02:00Roasted chick peas sounds great!

Great topic! My kids (ages 11, 8 and 1.5) are crazy for roasted chickpeas. I toss them with some oil, salt, garlic powder and paprika, and roast them in a single layer on a very large baking sheet, for about 1/2 hour. They get a little crispy and the kids eat them for snack or dinner. <br />Thanks for your suggestions. I love the homemade pita chips with bean dip idea. I would serve that with baby carrots, snap peas, and grape tomatoes. My kids really love dips.Rivki Lockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288838905504852656noreply@blogger.com
