For the majority of their life- their mother didn't cook at all- so it was left up to my fiance - who kind of was on his own with them, and didn't give it much thought about how to expose them to new things, and not cook them separate dinners.

I guess he got used to them like that and since everyone around them accepted it- he didn't question it too much. His ex-wife always said she was a picky eater as well- and it was left at that.

I think I will just cook a regular dinner. I will make sure there will be a variety of foods- and they can see how a dinner is prepared as well as everyone sitting down to a meal together. The shocking thing for me is that they don't know or have been taught that when you go out to eat to someone's house (especially being teenagers) you have to be polite and eat what you can. They have never seen a person come home from a hard days work, and actually cook a big meal for them. My son knows how to go to someone's house, and be polite, and do the right things- but I guess those kinds of manners were important for us to teach him, and I think the boys need to see how a meal really works- and you can't just eat bread and butter and be polite. I will take it easy and slow- thanks for your wish of luck!
