    frozen peas? It's still a veggie right?
    nothing wrong with frozen peas atall! better than fresh peas cause they are snap frozen and keep all the goodness in them!

    DD wont eat dinner if she is too tired. cold platters go down well here too! Pizza. Make the base your self, super easy if you have a bread maker. Make the red sauce, tim tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, oregano and grate veggies into the sauce as your cooking it, carrot or capsicum, or anything really and then blend it so its smooth. then top with ham, pineapple and cheese. or other toppings. goes down a treat in this house!

    edit...M21SB...you beat me too it.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. She doesn't nap during the day so she could be well past it at dinner. Will try swapping lunch and dinner, giving her a meal and lunchtime and trying her with a sandwich for dinner.

    She's not a fan of pizza, wish she was!!!! We've even had her make it with us, put her ingredients on it and watch it go into the oven. She still didn't eat it. I might make some dip or something too, see if I can entice her with some carrot sticks during the day. She knows what all the foods are, we offer them all the time, she just won't go there. So frustrating.

    Thanks though and keep the suggestions coming!

    Guarantee every night without fail my DD and DS will turn their noses up at their own plates but once DH is home and trying to eat his dinner (exactly the same as what I gave them) they will down it faster than he can shovel it into them I just load up his plate with extra now

    But an absolute never fail in our house is lasagne. I grate hidden veges into it and have even made a couple with cauliflower and broccoli puree and they were none the wiser.

    Good luck
