Eat creatively

Creativity. It can be an activity for a rainy day or it can be a way of life. 

If you are serious about creativity and the richness it can bring, then bring creativity to every decision, including dinner. 
For me, creativity requires an openness to different. Different ideas, different experiences, different combinations, and yes, different meals.
Meal times provide endless opportunities for experimentation and exploration. Sadly most households rotate around no more than five core dishes. Hardly the foundations of an intrepid culinary explorer...

You don't have to be a master chef, you don't have to cook, you just have to expose kids to variety and to the unexpected. The more they do it, the more they crave it, and the more you have created an open minded, inquisitive little human.

Activity: add a different, new, interesting food to try every week. They don't have to eat it.  But they have to try.
