My nephew hates eggplant so he grilled a pork tenderloin to eat with the salad (minus the eggplant). He shared the pork with his sister and my husband got a little bit too. My niece usually likes eggplant but disliked this recipe because she said it was too spicy. My husband, sister, and I thought it was a tasty meal. It's hard to please everyone in this house!
Well I love your attitude when it comes to feeding those that you love.
I hated having to eat what was put in front of me as a kid. First of all my mom was an lousy cook and secondly meal time should be enjoyable for everyone and not a big fight over being forced to eat something one doesn't like. I'm not talking about being a picky eater either. I hate carrots to this day.
We had a rule that Matthew had to taste something new before saying he didn't like it. And if he didn't like something he didn't have to eat it.
It was easy to cook something that Moe and I liked and and something for Matt, and usually the sides were something everyone liked.
I vowed I would never make dinner time a battle, forcing someone to eat a food they disliked.
Life is too short.
