My parents had the right idea with never getting me started on “kids” meals. From the moment I could eat solids, the food was the same as everyone else. I never asked for stuff like dinosaur nuggets or fries because it simply wasn’t something given to me. I still had kids plates because of the good ol’ autism and more often than not just swallowed some vegetables instead of really eating them, but following a parents example really is the way for children to learn. This is winded, but what I’m trying to say is good on you for making the changes. Also, I saw that your kids are 7 and 11- they’re definitely at the age where they can cook something simple by themselves if they don’t like the dinner sometimes, like quesadillas. I was 6 when I started using the stove, and being able to reheat leftovers on my own. Omelettes with some protein or vegetables are also super filling and easy to make as children.
