People often ask me if my kid eats the same things that we do. The answer is NO. Heck no. Well. Mostly No.
I’ve talked about this before, but since we’ve been on summer break and spending a LOT more meals with my kid, I thought I would re-visit this topic a bit. 
One thing I try to teach (an re-teach) my kid about food is that our taste buds change, so trying things again makes sense. You could totally end up liking something if you are older or if it is prepared in a different way. 
Aside from meal planning and cooking, I am not big on giving advice. I am a big fan of leading my example. My husband and I eat a lot of greens, we eat varied items, we hold back and are not having oversized portions, we drink a lot of water and go easy on the sugar. That’s not to say we don’t ever indulge (because some Saturday nights = brownies and wine), but those are not every day. 
My kid eats many things (I wish she ate MORE veggies though), just not as many as us. She will try just about anything for $1. She will honestly let you know what she thinks of it. Not surprisingly, She will ask for more when she loves it! 
My #1 tactic to sneak more veggies into her meals is to hide them in cheese or pasta. Ravioli works the best. Thank you Trader Joe’s for having a a cheese and veggie filled option year-round! 
If your kid eats mostly “kid food” try making it the best version of that “kid food” that you possibly can.
