My DH is away until next Monday or Tuesday, and he's been gone since last Sunday. I am tired of making just stuff the kids will eat, so I made crock pot potato soup and bread bowls. I was very proud of them and I thought the novelty of eating the bowl, the uncomplicated flavors, along with the cheese and bacon garnish, would entice my picky children.

No. It did not.

This guy got down on the floor and started an all-out tantrum without even tasting it. So he spent dinner in his bed.
K ate a little but he acted like he was doing me a favor. "Ooh, see mom? I'm eating THIS much for you." Corbs ate the bacon off the top and dipped the bread a little but barely ate anything.
I miss cooking for someone who likes food.
Quoting heydooney:I stocked up on pasta today :/
At least they will eat vegetables!
Quoting Bradensmommy719:
Mmm that sounds soo good! I hear yea on the tired of cooking for just kids. I am glad hunny is home this weekend but last week while he was gone we ate so poorly. :-(
That looks yummy. Kids amaze me how just the site of food is a natural No I am not eating that. My daughter does that and when I make her taste it she is amazed to discover he likes it.
Those look yummy! My older two kids are just now getting where they are more willing to try lots of new things and eat a greater variety.
You can come prepare those for me any day of the week, they look amazing! And you made bread bowls, very cool!
