Your kids sound like my husband! He's pretty adventurous but I do have to "dress things up" for him, otherwise he gets bored and gets takeaway instead. I was brought up eating a lot of wholefoods without realising it (that's what comes of having a penny-pinching mum!) and we never had chips, store-bought biscuits or softdrinks at home, but his family has always been big on purchased nibblies, always had jars of chocolates in the pantry, etc, so he's used to super-yin or super-yang convenience foods.

One of his favourite meals I make is a meatloaf, where I take some kind of organic mince (always FAR smaller quantities than he thinks is in it) and mix it with organic falafel mix, beans or tempeh whipped up in the food processor, a bit of seaweed and various grated vegetables. It isn't super-macro, I know, but it is all natural, all fresh and organic - and he adores it. I'm hoping our future kids will be as easily fooled... or, shock horror, actually enjoy wholefoods.
