A very fussy family!
Hi, I'm a newbie here and would like some advice about feeding my very fussy family! I have been vegetarian for 20 years, since I was 11; my husband has a phobia of fruit and vegetables (he starts shaking if I eat an apple next to him!) and has an exceptionally limited diet of cheese, potato - mashed or baked but not roast or boiled, pepperoni pizza, pesto and pasta, curry from a jar - always the same type, cheese on toast etc. I have an almost 3-year-old who is becoming fussier (he has a pretty varied diet, I think, but he demands waffles every dinner time and will only eat a few bites of anything else. I don't give in to this: I don't offer anything else and he doesn't get anything else to eat but this rarely works) and an 8 month old who is pretty much OK with everything except savoury foods!
Cooking meals, as you can imagine, is a nightmare. I do cook meat for my oldest son and my husband (although I don't like it) and am prepared to do pretty much anything to get us all eating the same thing but with variations. I cook spaghetti bolognese for us all, using beef mince for my son and Quorn for my husband and me but that's all we can eat together except pesto and pasta (which my husband's starting to go off - sigh).
Has anyone got any recipes I can cook for my very fussy family? I feel like I'm trapped in the same few meals: spaghetti bolognese, pesto, waffles and whatever, and jacket potatoes!!
