Summary

The website content humorously details a week's worth of unconventional and unappreciated dinner recipes for picky eaters.

Abstract

The article titled "Feeding Picky Eaters" satirically presents a series of unconventional dinner recipes that are likely to be rejected by family members, particularly children. It humorously describes the creation of dishes such as eggplant balls, tofu tacos, anchovy Caprese paninis, octopus chili, and cran-turkey kale pizzas, which are intended to replace traditional family favorites. The author playfully acknowledges the predictable under-appreciation of these meals, the likelihood of them being refused, and the eventual resort to ordering takeout, leading to additional expenses beyond the initial $35 planned for the week's meals.

Opinions

The author expresses a humorous disdain for the traditional Meatball Monday, suggesting a playful twist with eggplant balls that are likely to be unpopular with the kids.
Taco Tuesday is mocked by proposing tofu tacos, which the author sarcastically implies will be a hit with the family.
The author pokes fun at the idea of a rushed Wednesday panini night by suggesting an anchovy Caprese variation, predicting that the family's reaction will be less than enthusiastic.
Octopus chili is presented as a sarcastic solution for a hearty meal at the end of the week, with the expectation that it will not be well-received and lead to ordering out.
The traditional pizza night is humorously disrupted with the introduction of whole wheat cran-turkey kale pizzas, which the author jokingly predicts will end up in the trash, resulting in the family ordering pizza delivery instead.
The author facetiously congratulates themselves for making the week's meals "creative" and easy, despite the high likelihood of the food being rejected in favor of more conventional options like PB&J and fast food.

FEEDING PICKY EATERS

Easy Dinners Your Family Will Never Eat

Cooking for the family has never been more unappreciated

There are plenty of quick and easy dinners and websites that will help you plan your meals for the month. Trying to spice up the evening dinner plate is a constant challenge for parents worldwide.

Luckily, we don’t have to suffer the boring Taco Tuesday any longer! With these quick and easy dinners, you will keep your Uber Eats driver happy, and your pocketbook empty all week.

Be prepared for the plate push. Enjoy the gag reflex. Things are about to get real.

Eggplant Balls

It is usually Meatball Monday at our house. The standard white pasta, bottled sauce, and meatballs made with things like meat were getting mucho predictable. I spiced it up a bit with this humdinger: eggplant meatballs containing no meat so, technically, they were eggplant balls.

Sounds yum? Wait for your kids’ reaction!

With this divine combination of eggplant, eggs, breadcrumbs, and spices, your 60 minutes of sautéing, rolling, and seasoning will be an under-table treat for the dog that will later be found in the living room, untouched.

Tofu Tacos

Is Taco Tuesday getting boring with all that beef and cheese? I know everyone loves them, but wouldn’t the family freak to try tofu tacos instead?

Start with extra firm tofu and your favorite seasoning package. Then place the whole thing in the trash. Enjoy!

Anchovy Caprese Paninis

Wednesday is a bit of a rush at our house, so it is traditionally grab-and-go panini night. Instead of the chicken and cheese we normally enjoy, I tried to expand our palates with an anchovy Caprese panini.

The salty tears really complimented the capers.

Octopus Chili

When the end of the week is near, my patience for making a good hearty meal is shortened. I often turn to the trusty can opener for chili to get us through the night. The slow simmer warms up the house and makes everything smell delicious.

Try this variation to ensure you will be ordering out:

Octopus Chili With Potatoes

Peel the Yukon Golds
Open a can of navy beans
Add a can of octopus in olive oil
Grab the phone for backup

Dinner will be at your door in 30 minutes or it’s free.

Cran-Turkey Kale Pizzas

Friday is pizza night. Everyone loves pizza!

We have tried the traditional cheese and even spiced it up with a slop of pepperoni on occasion when we’re feeling feisty. But this Friday our kids will not be eating wholewheat cran-turkey kale pizzas.

Start with whole wheat pitas, top with Alfredo sauce, plenty of chopped kale, and cooked turkey breast. Adorn with brie cheese — be sure to keep the rinds attached — kids love those. Add some cranberry sauce for a hint of sweetness on the finish. Heat your garbage at 400 degrees and throw it out and open Uber Eats.

Your weekly meal plan is complete! Cooking for the family has never been easier or more creative.

The week’s meals cost a mere $35 to feed a family of four. The replacement pizzas, PB&J, and fast food will be $82.99 extra.

You’re welcome.
