Yeah, ideally, I am looking for something that I can "prep" on. . .and then pull from the fridge or freezer and prepare in under 20 minutes. . .not b/c I dn't have the time per se. .. but trying to entertain/keep after the toddler and cook in a small place is hard, esp. when their toys aren't near.
I am struggling/adjusting but I am getting better.
I like to cook okay. . .even if I am not the greatest. . .kinda like most golfers,lol.
But I suppose the problem is most kids, even ones who are trained to eat healthy foods aren't adventurous. It's a hard call as a parent.
Is the child just being "normal" when they won't eat baked/grilled fish? My s-t-b-x would have said, "Look, kids aren't going to eat it." but I can recall liking it when I was small.
Or are tehy being a fussbudget?
Or is it "Dad's marginal cooking?" lol
No doubt my kids are fussbudgets. . .wouldn't deny it. . .the problem is deciphering which it is only given meal situation - fussbudget, cooking, or normal kid.
Maybe I'll bite the bullet and just make them swallow down a basic salad and since I know when they are coming - buy a salad prep kit and some tomatoes. MY parents have an old rotisseire too. . .could learn the knack of that, I guess. Then it's mac-n-cheese with it.
I suppose this is a huge organizational issue with me, and something I would tip my hat to my s-t-b-x had over me in bunches. Thanks for letting me talk it out.
