Ready When You Are: 5 Slow-Cooker Meals Kids Love

It looks like most posters had the same reaction to these recipes that I did. My kids wouldn't eat any of these recipes because they all have 'weird' food in them: artichokes, barley, cabbage, spices, etc. I would probably like all of them, but even as a kid I would have turned my nose up. I cook a wide variety of dishes and offer them to my kids, but they are kids-their palates are not as 'seasoned' as ours. I was disappointed that none of these recipes fit the title of the article.

I wouldn't even eat this.

tried this recipe and it was AWEFUL! My husband and I love indian and this ended up in the garbage.

my kids were given every food since they were little, then if there is something they don't care for I know its not because they weren't exposed to it. I ended up with one that doesn't like mushrooms and one that doesn't like raw tomatoes, everything else is on the menu. I believe that we limit our children's palates by not offering enough variety until they are older. my kids loved this dish I served it with a Moroccan chicken to bump the protein even more. thank you

I am curious about the "eat what I give you or no food" approach. I love to cook but both of my picky eaters (2 & 5) would rather go to bed hungry than eat a plate of something new. They'll try it, gag, then refuse to eat the rest. No snacks or other food is offered. They go to bed complaining they¿re starving. I feel like a dictator! The oldest was more adventurous as a toddler, but now declares everything to be GROSS and the youngest is picking up his bad habits. Any tips would be great!
