We use Ronzoni (sp?) whole wheat lasagna and spaghetti noodles. A little more expensive but worth it. You can’t really tell the difference except maybe a bit in the texture of it.

Our older two (now 21,18) were excellent eaters. They would try anything we put in front of them. However, our youngest (now 10) was a horrible eater. He would only eat a couple things for weeks at a time and then all of a sudden switch foods on me. Grrr! When he was little we had the rule where the new veggie would have to touch his tongue before he refused to eat it. Then when he got older he had to put a small bite in his mouth and chew it once before he ran screaming to the trash can . When he was around 5 or 6 I would tell him that he loved a particular food when he was 3 or 4 and then he would eat it. Once he hit 7, I started getting him more involved in our grocery shopping. He was never too interested before that. I would have him pick out one new fruit and one new veggie each week to try out. He still isn’t a great veggie eater but he at least tries stuff now without having a fit.
