We have a "two-bite" rule in our house. Basically, the boys must try two bites of the main dish (not necessarily the sides) every night. If they decide they don't like it, they're allowed to have either chicken nuggets (homemade, not storebought), a sandwich, or nothing. Most nights, JP eats the main meal. Devin rarely does, but he's got some major sensory issues with food. He's quite articulate about what he thinks of foods too. I made mac & cheese from scratch last week, and when he tried it, he said, "Mommy, I like how this tastes, it's very yummy. It feels yucky to my mouth though. May I have a sandwich, please?" So, now I know the flavor he likes...I just need to work on texture.
