Even though I am a 22 year that doesn’t plan to have kids in the near future, watching your video taught me new things by making me think of the way I cook. You simplified adult foods for you daughter, yet I was focused on how you elevated simple key ingredients into full on meals. I will definitely incorporate this approach into my cooking, thank you as always 🤍

Best advise-take a risk. My daughter got a take of spicy grilled shrimp at age 2 and loved it! I restricted her to just a few bc I was concerned for her tummy but it taught me a lot about my daughter’s 2 yr old palate. I gave her a taste of everything we made from then on. I never assumed again that my two yr old didn’t have a palate for seasoning!

Honestly, this has been my experience with my son. We started food with him at 6 mo, as one does, and he wouldn't eat ANYTHING. He hated purees, hated all the suggested recipes, nothing (except banana) was good. The pickiness continued until he was just over a year old and was REALLY reaching for my plate of udon noodles one evening. Lo and behold, he liked it! He likes some spicy food, Japanese curry, bao buns, any Asian dish with noodles, really anything with lots of flavor, though he definitely favors Asian-style cuisine (which is good, because that's 80% of what I cook). Rule of thumb is, if we like it, he probably will too. It makes dinner a lot easier, and I get to keep cooking the same stuff I always have.

Around age two my daughter was eating ANYTHING I put in front of her. I’m talking escargots, bone marrow, oysters. Then something changed with her taste buds and she became much less adventurous until age 14. She’s starting to expand and try new things thank goodness. Luckily she’s always loved green vegetables. She’ll eat an entire plate of green beans, or spinach or Brussels sprouts. But phases are a thing. Parents be ready.

At your daughters age, few kids eat everything, feel good that she knowingly eats so many veg already! When my kid hit less than 10 accepted foods, we instituted the one bite rule (he was around 3). He's a tween now, and he will literally try anything. His little sister is a little more picky, but also very competitive, so if he eats it, so will she. The important things to keep in mind - consider nutrition over a week rather than a day, and kids have to try a food something like a dozen times before they can definitively say whether or not they like it. You're doing a great job, dad! Keep it up!

These techniques worked well for us, too--and, as our kids got older, the "assemble your own" meals were also big hits (tacos, mezze platters, nachos, salad bars, build your own pizzas, etc.). Seemed like they were willing to take more risks when they got to make their own choices & combos. Everybody got to participate & customize their own dinner--win/win.

Taco nights were the best nights when I was a kid. We always built our own. Some of us like soft shell, some wanted nachos, some wanted a taco salad. Everyone was always happy.

For me, when my son was little but able to "help", I pulled a stool up to the counter and had him taste the spices and components of a recipe. I allowed him to add the ingredients. He had a groundwork for cooking and it expanded his pallet. Touching raw meat was the big hurdle.

I do this now.

I'm a grandma and I love watching your videos and seeing your sweet precious daughter enjoy her meal. She is adorable! Thanks so much for the quick tips and great meal ideas. I enjoy!

Cooking for one's family is a privilege not granted to many and I am grateful to have that.

i am 19, learning from now;so when i became dad hopefully i am ready to pull these things out of sleeve.

Where were you 37 years ago? My daughter loved and still loves broccoli. I couldn't get my son to put any veggies in his mouth. Today, he eats everything. BTW, your daughter is adorable. Treasure every phase of growing up. The best photos are those in your heart and mind.

I love that you covered flavour and texture, because that was my biggest issue as a kid. I had a lot of texture issues and could never communicate why it was wrong, and even as an adult my parents still like to insult things like me only liking firm pickles.

Great ideas. I was a very picky child and being allowed to eat deconstructed meals reduced a lot of mealtime stress. Burgers are one example I can think of, I would eat each component separately. Then one day I thought hey, if I like all this stuff separately why not try them together? And this is the story of how I came to eat burgers like a normal person. Giving kids some control and “safe” foods I think makes them more open to trying the “scary” things on occasion

My 1 year old loves deconstructed food as well, including burgers. The interesting thing is that she focuses on different parts of the burger depending on her mood. Some days she will devour the cheese first, others she goes to town on the meat. Presenting the components separately gives her freedom of choice (absolutely key with toddlers!) and ensures she eats at least something

I exclusivity ate deconstructed food well in to my 20s. I still do it sometimes when I don't love something or know I won't eat the whole thing.

That "mmmMmm" from Marley says it all! Great tips. Using the same ingredients in different ways is the easiest way to diversify a meal for multiple palettes. Also, items that don't need much attention, like baked potatoes, helps the chef focus on other things and still be productive.

You're right about taking risk. I figured out my daughter likes Japanese style curry and raw or steamed broccoli very early on. My family likes a lot of flavor and she is no different she will often eat salsa with me even through she is only 2 haha.

We have 4 kids and they all were raised more or less on the same foods, but it's amazing how different their preferences are. One hates sauces, another loves tomatoes while the other cringe, another hates mashed potatoes, another will straight up drink ranch, etc. Kid's palettes still have preferences and take time to develop! I appreciate that you acknowledge this!

These crossover ingredients when you're explaining two recipes might be an awesome way to impart some value to home chefs who want to develop some variety at home without making things difficult

Such a cool video that I didn't know I needed! I've had really good luck with fried rice for my 2 year-old! He won't eat chicken/pork, or some vegetables separately but throw them all together in a friend rice with whatever is lying around and he will eat it all. Note: Rice is super messy but at least he is eating!

I love this video! As a mom of 4 who has been cooking consistently for both toddlers and adults for about 10 years, these are absolutely the most realistic tips I've ever seen for cooking for a family with young kids!

My kids are all adults now but I've had to de-construct again over the years for a daughter diagnosed with Celiac at age 15 and other family members with various food allergies/intolerances. Its definitely a great skill set to have! BTW I love your videos, especially your airfryer ones!

These are actually really good tips. I've been stuck in a food rutt for years and and since finding your channel a few months ago I have a good amount of ideas for how to jazz up my meals so thank you for that 😊

I love you meeting your kiddo where she’s at and appreciating the fact that she’s not ready for certain flavors and textures (but someday she will!). What a great dad ❤️❤️❤️

My go to is "nope - this is dinner" but I do like to see my kids happy with dinner when possible. I appreciate the time spent on this topic.

As the cook in my house and mother of a 1.5 year old, this video really hit home. Cooking for a toddler is soooo much harder than cooking for an adult. I think you could make an entire cookbook out of this video concept.

This is so helpful. I have some tough critics in my house also lol. And I am the cook, that is right- the one and only cook in the house! So these videos are much appreciated

Using freshly picked ingredients from your garden has some real "Jamie at home" vibes, which I think is still his best series ^^

Finally got my kids to start branching out on new foods when they were 9 and 11 years old....then had another baby. So the whole "start the whole g-d damn process over again" hit me 😂

This actually works guys! I have 4 kids 13-2yrs old and this is how to properly introduce new flavors to kids. With time their taste will evolve and they will be open to try new flavors

I’m a mom of 2 years old and she recently became so picky 😩 this video is exactly what I needed to watch, I learned so much🥹 thank you❣️❣️

Your daughter is spoilt with such a terrific chef of a dad!

I'm approaching 50 and I still love butter noodles. LOL. Your kid's got good taste. Your toaster intimidates me. LOL

I am pregnant now and I’ve been thinking for years about how when I have kids I will make sure they eat healthy. This video right here is like the BEST encouragement for me…because so many people shut me down when I tell them how badly I want my child to eat well and not settle for crap food all the time. Now I have more confidence that it can be done. Thank you!

We have a 3 year old and 1 year old and both work full time. Having quick dinners that are kid friendly and NOT happy meals was awesome! I would love more of these videos!!

I love the change when you moved to this environment from the NY studio, Mike. I think/hope It serves you and your family well! :-)

Awesome advice. My kids are adults & we have 1grandson. I used the deconstructed meal tip all the time. I would offer a taste of the adult meal & if they liked it then I would add some to their plate. As they got older I let them pick the meals that we had for the day. I had a “what to eat” note pad on the refrigerator. It had the days of the week with breakfast, lunch & dinner sections. They had access to all my cookbooks so they could get ideas. Even our youngest could look at the pictures with his sister. They got to help win the prep work. I found that if they helped plan & make the meals they were more open to try new things. The meals weren’t always hits but that’s what pizza delivery is for. Some of my favorite memories are of all of us in the kitchen. I let them add notes in the cookbook about what worked or didn’t work. I love seeing those notes now. I’m working on a handwritten cookbook for them as a Christmas gift.

Your videos are a joy to watch. It is great to see your progression from the Brothers Green to a man with a growing family and different needs.

I wish I had seen this video 20 years ago when my kids were little. I will recommend to any new parents! And I will recommend your channel to my kids now that they are cooking for themselves.

when my daughter was young, I would give her one thing she really liked , 1 new thing and something she didnt liked as much or hated . I told her you need to eat at least 1 bite of everything then you can choose what you want in your plate. When she hated something, I would try again a few months later, with the same rule. Now she 10 , she learned to appreciate some product she used to hate, other not so much but she is always willing to taste!

I loved this video, I had gastric sleeve surgery and trying to simplify foods I'm used to as an adult, to basically down to a toddler size portion... took me a while to figure out too!

Advice from our house with a young toddler is to serve food 'family style' from the middle of the table. Partly because my daughter always wants what's on my plate instead of hers 😅 and also so she can exercise choice, which she loves. Also, if you have any space indoors or outdoors, to grow something edible, kids love picking their own food from the plant. Completely transformed tomatoes from no-go to favorite food

You might have just saved my sanity! PLEEEASE do an entire series on this subject PLEEEEEEASE!

Want you to know that my 2 (nearly 3) year old son absolutely loved your quick 15 minute pasta with the penne and tomato sauce. I changed it up just a bit by using golden grape tomatoes and adding a little mozzarella. You've inspired me quite a bit to get back in the kitchen and really make it mine.

Yes, never a dull moment with kids. Watching the deconstruction, learned how keeping it simple led to many variations & how simple it is to make sauces & dips to tie the components together. Thank you.

This a fantastic concept for a video. I’m sure VERY helpful for young families. ❤️

Both my kids love their veggies early on but not so much later. I always had to sneak some veggies in their nuggets or spaghetti sauce. I think i’ll borrow your idea for the broccoli dip w/ tofu instead of ricotta & a bit of nuge would be delish. And it feels surreal to see how big your daughter is since she was practically born right before the pandemic hit right? Love watching your content Mike. Missed watching you cooking w/ your bro.

I've loved broccoli for as long as I can remember -- thankfully I don't have the genetics that let you taste the negative compound in broccoli or cilantro, so broccoli doesn't taste bitter and cilantro doesn't taste like soap! But how my parents taught us is they didn't actually serve us veggies! They just made plates with veggies and dip (sour cream with onion soup mix), and just sat around eating them until us kids were all like "Gimme gimme!" and stealing them off the plates :D I also converted one girl from a broccoli hater to a broccoli lover in the course of a single meal, while I was babysitting her neighbors; she said she hated broccoli, I asked if she'd ever tried it with melted cheese, I included her in the meal, and then she said she loved it! It's a bit sneaky, but sometimes you need to get them past the mental block to where they're open to the new thing. My nephew's mom used to claim that he would only eat white bread, but that was an issue at *her* house, not ours. He'd eat anything we served him! It seemed like his mom's unrefined palate was limiting his, so long as he was within her periphery. *She's* the one who couldn't stand anything but white bread, couldn't enjoy seafood, couldn't appreciate anything unusual/unfamiliar or ethnic (no Chinese food!). I'm so glad my nephew didn't internalize her limitations; the only thing is that he'll order hamburgers with only ketchup, and that's perfectly fine!

I loved this video! I remember being traumatized as a kid over rabbit on the menu. We had watched Bambi the night previous on Sunday Disney family time... I couldn't bring myself to eat Thumper. I was about seven. I wouldn't eat it, so I sat with my plate. Mom cleaned the kitchen and moved me to the other kitchen with my plate. I went to bed and when I got up guess what was for breakfast? The plate of rabbit from last night! Well, mom said she'd send it in my lunch box and I snapped back "great, I'll tell my teacher I haven't ate anything since yesterday at lunch and they'll give me something better"! Mom caved finally. I promised my future children right then and there, that I'd NEVER force them to feel that bad over a plate of anything ever. I was pretty lucky with children who tried almost everything, but also would make revisions like these. Thank you for reminding me that our kids deserve the love and respect to learn the love of food that our adults do. xoxo

I love how much you respect everyone in your family enough to allow for food preferences.

Please PLEASE more vids like this. I desperately need it.

Great tips! Remember you can infuse your pasta water itself (or any grain) with vitamins by blanching your veggies in the same water or using homemade veggie/bone broths. Blenders are a parents best friend! Sometimes a veggie with a troublesome texture (like squash/greens) can be pureed into something they do like. Try multiple cooking methods as well! Roasted veggies are a hit because anything resembling a fry is always going to be more tasty than soggy mushy veg. Good luck out there parents! ❤

"Start the whole damn journey over again.....!" 😂😂😂 said like a man in the trenches. Believe me, I get that. But also love you see the progress your daughter is making, and it just continues getting better. I guarantee that you are right. If you don't help them overcome initial reluctance when they are young it will limit them later on, depriving them of so many joys in a good food life! I remember the day I saw my young son sneak some mushrooms out of the fridge like he was sneaking candy. I pretended i didn't see-- like what parent is going to scold a child for stealing mushrooms! Pay day!

I have always had a picky palette starting as a baby, having the rule to try everything every couple months/years was important for my parents to get me to eat regular food as i grew. To get me to eat veggies my mum would great or blend veggies into everything and it hid the flavour until i would eat it... examples: Cauliflower or celiac root into mashed potatoes, grated Zucchini and eggplant under the cheese in pizza or equal parts grayed veggies and ground beef for tacos or pasta sause, and now there are a tun of veggi dessert recipes like Zucchini bread or sweet potato brownies. If you are an adult with a narrow diet these tricks also help add nutrition to your meals

My kids are 7 and 4, so we're a little past the buttered noodles and chicken fingers stage, but far from being at "adult menu". Usually this means I back off on my use of heat (ie spicy). This video was great in giving more ideas and acknowledging those of us with families that need to cook for everyone and not just ourselves (and quickly). Adding to the aspect of balancing and what works for one's own household, I find I also try to gravitate towards keeping the mess down. Too often on cooking shows we're seeing the awesome food being made but not the mess of cookware that needs to be cleaned afterwards. This is where one pot meals are great as is anything that can go on the outdoor grill.

Love the cauliflower quesadilla idea!..and the chicken tenders...and love how colorful the kid plate is...every kid should eat that way.

Cooking for my step son is a huge point of anxiety for me with the extreme picky eating. Needed this so much & thank you for sharing!!!! It’s relieving to hear it can be a challenge for you as well. Thank you!!!

My friend had a child who would not eat veggies. Dad was vegetarian and was really confused how his child hated veggies. My friend, a chef, could not find a way to get her young child to get veggies. He liked crackers, store bought, so I told her what to do. She knew how to make crackers. Get veggies steamed by colour and portion into sizes that fit her cracker recipe. Freeze the portions. Now, get him to pick a colour to make the crackers. Send kid away, add vegetable that matches the colour, or cauliflower, and make the crackers. Roll out and bring in child to dock the crackers. Ask about pepper and sesame seeds and more and then bake. Let child taste first one. The crackers disappear during the day and it’s time to pick another colour. She did this. He loved it.
