Spaghetti or Chicken Pot Pies??

I am a short order cook. I have very picky eaters at my house. Let me explain:

• The Dad: Eats only beef, chicken (only if he has to), and some pork (ham, bacon, sausage). Thinks Hamburger Helper is a gourmet meal!


• Scott: Favorite food: Chicken pot pie - Hates: Spaghetti


• John: Favorite food: Spaghetti, Pizza - Hates: Most everything else

So you can see my dilemma. If I make Scott try spaghetti he gags and acts like he will throw up. There is no making John eat anything he doesn't want to, all we get is screaming and crying and a ruined family meal time. Autistic kids just aren't flexible. John has asked for spaghetti for three days in a row. And what have I done? Fixed him spaghetti each day . . . easier than a fight.

I will eat anything and I'm tired of all the pickiness . . . I just want to eat fish!!!
