Have It Your Way

I think every person who has a child knows that at some point their child will not eat anything they cook. Seriously, nothing. Since my oldest child is only 5 I still consider myself in the realm of "new" parents and it seems like there is something new to learn almost every day. My general rule about meals is "eat what I cook or don't eat" but occasionally I have to admit dinner really sucked and I'll make them something else. One thing I have learned, however, is that they will eat anything if it starts with the words "Make Your Own". They happily ate their "Make Your Own" turkey sandwiches the other night and "Make Your Own" sundaes are of course a no brainer. "Make Your Own" tacos or pizza are always a hit. I think next I may try "Make Your Own" pork chops or worse yet "Make Your Own" chicken breast with green beans and see how those go. For some reason I don't have high hopes.
