DEL.ICIO.USDo your kids’ food favorites ever surprise you?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My husband has been out of town a lot lately, so last night I decided to make his favorite dinner, grilled lamb chops. I also roasted new potatoes until they were crispy brown and on a separate baking sheet tossed Brussels sprouts with olive oil and put them in the oven shortly before the potatoes were done.
Imagine my surprise when the hit of the dinner was the sprouts. My kids, normally averse to any green vegetables, wolfed them down. My husband and I had to fight for the few that were left.
Have your kids or partner every surprised you by eating something you never thought they would? What was the biggest surprise “fan favorite” in your house?

When my oldest was a toddler she loved turnip greens (UGH!!!!) and cooked spinach (YUM!) Right now she turns her nose up at both. However, she will likely go back to them later.
It always surprises people that neither of my children eat grilled cheese or mac and cheese. Actually they just in the last 2 months started eat mac and cheese…but for the most part cheese is something they hate.
