At one point I was cooking dinner and making him a grilled cheese or a pb and j and he wasn't eating that. So, it was dinner at the dining room table and I made whatever I felt like making. He had to try things. I didn't force him to finish. Now, at 15 he eats a pretty good range of foods.

It's just the 2 of us so I cook what I like to eat, and most of the time she eats it, sometimes she even comes back for more. If she doesn't like something she will at least try it and can usually explain why she doesn't like something. And she LOVES vegetables and salad.
