I got down on myself and thought that I wasn't a very good cook. So, one time recently when I was very busy, I decided I would hire a graduate of a culinary school to cook some basic meals for our family. They would be pre-done and delivered so all I'd need to do was heat them up. The meals were very basic, like lasagna with garlic bread and salad.
What I found out was that my kids are just super picky. Maybe all kids are, I don't know. I didn't find anything wrong with the foods that were delivered. In my opinion, it was all great. Then the kids told me that they like MY cooking better!
Well, you'd never know it now...but what it did show me was that it's not that my cooking is bad, and it's not my fault. So now I just cook what I want, and they can eat it or not. If they don't like it, they can have a bowl of cereal or a peanut butter sandwich, but the dissenter has to fix his or her own substitute meal. I'm not going to be their short-0rder cook!
PS Don't worry, I'll have a new recipe soon!
