I have 3 very picky eaters living in my house. I am always looking for "kid-friendly" recipes, but the truth is you can only make so many butterfly sandwiches and "bumps on a log." (otherwise known as celery with peanut butter with raisins on top) We have found that 1/2 the battle is in our advertising. If we can make it sound exciting- we usually have a better chance of getting them to eat it with minimal screaming.
For example:PITA POCKETS are really BOATS (Can you bite a hole in the bottom and make it sink?)
PENNE PASTA are really TUBES (Look, they look just like the slides at the playground... Can you eat a slide?)
CHICKEN POCKETS or CALZONES are really PILLOWS
BREADSTICKS are really SWORDS or SPEARS (No fighting at the table, though!)
BOW TIE NOODLES are sometimes called BUTTERFLIES
BROCCOLI are really miniature TREES
MASHED POTATOES & GRAVY are really MOUNTAINS with LAKES
BURRITOS are really SLEEPING BAGS
Are we just crazy or does anybody else rename their food to make it more appealing?

Hey! you figured it out. :)
My girls love "Baby trees" even more when they are covered in snow--or Ranch
