Sigh

Why do I even bother trying to make delicious, creative meals? All they really want is chicken nuggets and pretzels, or perhaps pizza. 
Tonight I made Mini Greek Meatballs, Stuffed Tomatoes, and Baked Sweet Potato Fries, all from the Quick and Easy South Beach Cookbook. I knew better than to try to offer stuffed tomatoes to the kids, but I really thought I had a shot with the meatballs. Gabe refuses to try them - my little carnivore! - and Sam took a teensy bite, made a face, and nearly spit it out.
I just offered the sweet potato fries, last out of the oven. Gabe thinks they’re carrots and won’t try them. Sam took a bite, made an odd face, and declared, “They’re both good and bad at the same time.”
Whatever. I give up. 
I found it all delicious, so I guess it’s more leftovers for me.
Eric’s in Missouri for another week. I’m already having a blast.
