There’s somewhat of a running joke in our family. My husband used to be the pickiest eater I knew. Not my kids.
In fact, it would be easier to list what he WOULD eat (his mom’s fried chicken, steak, and authentic East Coast pizza being his three main food groups) than what he wouldn’t.
Why did he change his tune? Recipes that taste delicious every time will do that for you.
