Change Things Up!
Changing side dishes can completely change the tone of a meal. If you serve black bean cakes with a side of rice and avocado one day, try serving them for breakfast with fried or scrambled eggs the next time. Once you find something that your child likes, you can expand on that by serving the favored dish with different foods.
