Aw, look at you being all Betty Crocker ‘n shit. Good on yez. Stick with the tough love. Your 405 month old may still skimp on the cooking, but at least you’ll have given her something she can discuss with her therapist. I’m sorry to say my 924 month old is lazy and truculent. If there is cheese and gluten-free seed crackers in the house, she believes she has hit the gourmet menu jackpot. Throw in a couple of cookies, and that’s the 4 four food groups. Seeds count as veggies. The old toddler actually does know how to cook healthful meals. In fact, she cooks up very healthy food about every 5 or 6 days. She puts 3 lbs hamburger or chicken, 30 oz. green peas, 16 oz. raw matchstick carrots, a cup of frozen spinach, 1/2 c. minced parsley, and 1.5 cups fresh sliced apples or blueberries in the Insta Pot and cooks it for 35 minutes. While that’s cooking, she puts 3 cups brown rice in the rice cooker, and cooks it. When both pots of food are ready and cooled enough, she puts all of it in a huge bowl and mixes it together. Then she feeds it to her dogs twice a day. She hasn’t figured out yet an easy way to make cat food or she would. On rare occasions she digs around in the freezer and cooks an actual, healthy meal. Or at least, maybe adjacent to healthy. So, provided your 405 month old has the constitution of a recalcitrant jack ass and the genetics of people who live into their 100 and are immune to COVID, German Measles, and other nasty things, which I do and am, she should live long and prosper.
