OK, remember this is a debate board, and I am going to play devil's advocate here, so please let's play nice.

Dd likes fish and dh loves it. When dd was little, it was hard to get her to eat meat (ok, pretty much impossible), but she would eat fish, even things like anchovies and canned sardines (which many people find repulsive). As a result, fish was for a long time our default protein, that or eggs.

If you want to try again, one thing that most people can handle is fish cakes. This is also a good use for for frozen fish fillet. Buy sole fillets with no skin or bones. Defrost, run through the food processor with 2-3 tablespoons of flour and an egg per pound of fish, salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Fry spoonfuls in butter, olive oil or a mixture of the two.

An example of homemade dinner: lasagna. It is homemade in the sense that I don't buy a frozen lasagna or a kit but rather boil the lasagna, make the red sauce with tomatoes, meat, use ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese from a wheel not pre-grated. I don't make my own pasta out of dough nor am I a cheesemaker (which is a rarified skill anyway) but I think that still counts as homemade. Then for lunch is the rest of the lasagna.

I agree with those examples and those are things I make too.

Wow. How cheap can you get mozzerella cheese?

I'm surprised in this thread that your family eats only healthy things when I know you have mentioned in the past them eating junk food at times and finding candy wrappers in their room when you had to move the beds.


Which one is it, do they eat only healthy foods or are they like most kids who have a variety of both?

Do your kids eat left overs for lunch?


My kids don't eat left overs very well.

I only have one kid which is doubtless why there actually are leftovers. DD actually seems to prefer chicken cold (blerg!!) and also lots of other things (like lasagna) that I personally heat up. If we have fish there are no leftovers just because we've all agreed that leftover fish is...nasty. So then she has a sandwich (technically home made, although one wouldn't call it cooking) or yogurt. I don't make my own yogurt, for the record. My parents often did, but maintaining the stock culture is too much of a PITA for me.
