Just try it.....please

I'm not a cook. I don't find it fun, never did. I like it less now with food allergies. I spent 6 hours in the kitchen on Sunday to make food for Passover. Not fun. Exhausting actually. It was all worth it though at the Seder last night where the meal was well received by the family. All but one that is, the youngest of my picky children, yes the one with food allergies. The one who I always worry about, the one who I keep in mind with every meal that I make. Yes, the one that I have to rearrange the charoset for. No nuts and apples here, it's remade with pears and raisins. She wouldn't even try it! Same as last year. No interest.
Is your child picky? Mine are. Both of them. I know they get it from me but I at least would try stuff as a child. Sometimes they won't even try. My youngest ate mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce last nigh. Oh, and one bite of turkey.
Any tricks for getting the picky eaters to eat?

inspired

As I take a break from Passover prep, I found something that inspired me. It always amazes me that most of my inspiration comes from food allergic children. Their strength and courage will always stay with me.
A very talented, food allergic, young man named Reed Pake has released two songs. One is about his life with food allergies. He is amazing, check it out!
