Thanks for watching 🥰
I’m sure we all feel better that they’re eating even if it is just pasta and bread most of the time!

These ll look delicious. My son is also a fussy eater and loves plain pasta, I make my own stock and cook the pasta in that so he's getting meat and vege but doesn't know it. Also with the spaghetti sauce once it's cooked chuck it back onto saute setting to reduce the sauce. I also love my instant pot.

Great idea! I make my own broth too but didn’t think to cook the pasta in it. I’ll give it a go next time!

Enjoyed! Simple meals are the best and I agree you need to pick your battles with kids. My boys are super fussy and don’t eat any veggies and I spent years stressing over that but it’s not worth the stress and fights to get them to try. I know there eating habits will change

Thanks so much for watching!! I was a picky eater as a child too but now I eat more! As long as they’re fed and happy then I’m happy too :)

@ exactly! My nephews would only eat mashed potato and gravy and toast as kids and now as adults eat pretty much everything!
