Kids are tricky when it comes to figuring out what they will eat and what they won’t eat. One reason so many of us call our children picky or finicky eaters. How many of you have a picky eater?
Tonight I decided to introduce my children to a new meal, I’ve come across a few tips for you:

Tips to Introducing New Foods:
1. Make sure it isn’t too spicy. Tonight I made chili with actual fresh chilis in it, apparently it made it a bit too spicy for my kids. They could not eat it.
2. Be prepared. Be prepared that your kids may not take to the new meal. You may want to have a side dish or a second meal just in case this one isn’t approved by your kids.
3. Leave Your feelings at the door. When it comes to kids they will be completely honest with you. If your kids don’t like the way it tastes they will either make a face, try to hide the food or simply tell you. Oh and if it looks nasty or like something that came from a dog they will let you know.
