Instead of preheating the oven, try a cold start and postheating

Kid's today

sure love those chicken nuggets. We didn't have those when I was a kid.
Fish sticks on occasion. We ate what my mom cooked, period! Some things we had to learn to like. My mothers food was seldom boring. Some families ate ground beef 5 nights a week.
Mom never made burgers inside the house, ever. A Spanish style burger/rice pie though. Even salads varied, with endive one day, escarole the next, etc.
Never more than one starch in a meal, and always two green items.

"Some families ate ground beef 5 nights a week."

 

 

Perhaps they believed Dr. Salisbury (for whom the steak was named) when he claimed that from teething age to 12 years, a child needs nothing more than Salisbury Steak and water to grow fit and healthy.

 

Seems Dr. Salisbury believed the t-shirt slogan "VEGETABLES Are What FOOD Eats."
