My ten year old daughter is a fairly picky eater.  She wrinkles her  nose at the thought of quite a few meals.  However, for a picky eater, she will eat foods that many kids won't touch, such as broccoli, asparagus, salads.

She always has enjoyed being my assistant in the kitchen, but recently she has expressed more interest in helping.  As she is more capable, I offered to have her make a whole dinner.  She gladly accepted.
