I am an adult picky eater, and I don't eat most of what I cook. I didn't want my daughter to be restricted like I am, so I made an effort early on to cook whatever for her.

I'm pretty sure I have SED. My child can't live on my foods alone. I won't condemn anyone to this life. Haha. Luckily DH loves to cook and eats just about anything.

DH loves greens and grains... I'm learning to live with lettuce in our lunch and oatmeal for breakfast.

DH has it usually when we eat out, or sometimes on weekends if he grills something. There are a few things DH loves (sausage and peppers in the crockpot, for one) that I don't really like but make for him every once in a while.
