I do find I make the same things over and over.....and over, sigh. But they eat plain foods. Noodles with nothing on them except butter and parmesan. Plain chicken, not even barbecued chicken. How on earth would I ever get 16 weeks of menus out of that, I'd be lucky to get 2 weeks of different things they'll eat. I've spent too much time trying to make new, different, yummy meals for them only to be throwing 95% of it away. I feel like I'm giving into their habits but it's what they'll eat. I keep foods separate, always offering lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
The ole frustrating meals dilemma never seems to end.
