Pickiness of the Plate (And How to Avoid It)

During my childhood, I had a brief, dark moment in which I never wanted to stray from PB&J. I was stuck on the tried and true staple of my lunches, but if it were up to me, they’d fortify every meal - not just those served in a brown bag, eaten in a school cafeteria.

If kids are sliding down the slippery PB&J slope much too quickly, though, here are a few tips to help them get excited about trying new foods.
