Feeding my chil'ren

Any mom can attest to the maddening frustration that surrounds trying to feed your child healthy food that they will actually eat.  There have been sneaky attempts at filling your child with good food, like Jessica Sienfeld's "Deceptively Delicious" and probably lots of other less sneaky attempts.  Like my parents threatening to use the "food stuffer" on me if I didn't eat.  I think that is probably not AAP approved.  Well, I don't have food issues, so no harm, no foul.

I have one child who has food allergies of every kind, and so has pretty much eaten her own special diet these past three years.  Then I have another child who has been an avid fan of all things food her whole, short life. Until now. She is starting to snub all foods previously loved, including cheese toast. CHEESE TOAST??  Oh the horror.  What am I doing wrong?  Well, for starters, preparing three separate meals.  This is just generally exhausting for me.  Lately, we have been trying diligently to start preparing meals that the allergic child can share with us.  It has been working pretty well, and she is actually eating more new foods.  But it isn't like these carefully planned and prepared meals have been met with resounding joy and relish.  More like begrudging hunger.  And now I have to figure a way to work my 15 month old into the meal.

Problem #1: Food allergies in only one person
Problem #2:  The 15 month old is ready for dinner at 4:30.  Husband doesn't return from work until 6, on a good day.
Problem #3: Hubby is hungry and a little picky himself.
Problem #3: I'm a busy mom and really tired in the evening.

So needless to say this is a work in progress and I'm looking for all healthy and feasible options.

I came across this website, and it looks promising.  Thought I would pass it along in case there are other moms out there who have the same problem.  You know you do.  :)  Enjoy and Bon Appetite!
