Today, my kids told me that for the FIRST time, my cooking was delicious. I made Kraft dinner that night. FML

At least they enjoyed it...and it's easy to make!

If your husband likes your cooking, don't sweat it. Kids are naturally scornful of stuff that doesn't have fat or sugars or some such thing that tastes good to undeveloped taste buds. Try to convince your man to help with meals if not cook them himself, and in the meantime seek some advice or try a cookbook. Don't make wacky dishes or try anything with a strong flavor to it, as a remotely picky kid will hate it. Avoid veggies that are naturally spicy or tangy. And, as much as it may kill a health-conscious mother to do it, don't buy low-fat, low-sodium, low-etc anything. They really do taste worse than the standard. Also consider making stuff like pizza, which is much healthier homemade than from a chain.

I wouldn't take offense. Most kids would rather have hotdogs in macaroni and cheese over a gourmet dinner. They usually outgrow it.

Hey, but Kraft is pretty amazing.. and I guess it requires SOME skill to make it taste good...

next time make them home made mac and cheese see what they think about that. If they dont like it just buy thewm boxes of kraft and tell them toi make it themselves. Itll give u some extra time lol.

Don't expect to be an expert at taste if all you do is read the box and think it tastes fine yourself.

Hey, if my mom made me KD, it would be an amazing meal. Hand me a beer with it and it'll be the best. So your kids are easy to please. I wouldn't complain

Even Nigella Lawson writes that her kids won't eat most of her food and that kids in general have limited palates. Don't take it too personally.

STOP RUINING FMLs....here is a good one that I couldn't submit and I am going to put this comment on all the others.. "Today, I looked at the top FMLs for the day. FML"

Why does everyone assume the OP is female? Men cook as well...

Because under her post it says, "woman." ^.^;

Well Kraft dinner IS delicious. Learn to cook.
