Good job!

My teenager, who I call "mini-diva" because she really is a mini version of her Mom, is a vegetarian and does not like tomato or tomato sauce. This eliminates about 80% of the Italian food ideas that I come up with for her. The only thing that she will eat with my veg tomato sauce is eggplant parmesan when I make it for her. Then she can eat that for days and never tire of it.

Go figure.

Thank you Sun. I was thinking of it as spaghetti soup.

What is it with kids huh? LOL, I am far pickier than The General. She doesn't like food that smells "hot" (she means spicy). So for enchiladas I add pureed carrots so the sauce doesn't smell hot. Then she'll eat them up and they are healthier for me. Luckily, cumin is not hot smelling .

The General also does not like meat much. She will eat roasted chicken and beef in stew. Otherwise no thank you.

Tomatoes are one of those foods that The general loves fresh and canned. I can my own tomatoes which means they are always a part of some dish/sauce. Mini Diva is missing out, but maybe they are just too strong of a smell/taste for her. Lucky for her you keep trying.
