You'd be suprised at what kids will eat. My DH and I are on the Beach, and

we have an 8yo son who is on the Beach by default. He eats sandwiches for

lunch, and the occasional cookie at church, but mostly he eats what we eat.

The food is really tasty, and I've found that a lot of family favorites are

either already good for the Beach or easy to tweek and make them so. Try

looking at some of your family's favorite dishes and see if you can make

them South Beach Friendly.

You don't have to go by the Menu plan in the book either. Most of what

We make is tweaked. I took the " approved " foods, and made it for the

entire family and played with things.

We have pork chops, chicken, Turkey, veggies, salads, eggs, yogurt, etc.

etc. I guess I'm also one of those parents who doesn't have the time,

energy or the will power to be a " short Order " cook for my family. If

I'm making a meal, the family can either eat what I cook for dinner, or

they can make it themselves. LOL

I have a 14 year old and a 6 year old by a previous marriage who live

with their dad right now. When my 14 year old daughter was 8, I taught

her how to cook simple stuff so that if she decided that she didn't want

what was for dinner or breakfast, she could make something different. By

the time she was 9, she could make pancakes, regular cakes, scrambled

eggs with veggies, real mac and cheese (Not the boxed kind) and

spaghetti with red sauce. LOL.
