Thanks for all the suggestions and please keep them coming! You all have great ideas. My basic problem is that my kids eat too well at home. Almost every meal is home cooked, from scratch, with fresh ingredients. After that, the move to eating meals made from dried or freeze dried ingredients is a hard one. I suppose I don't set a very good example either (see signature) I make real steamed rice, pancakes, bake biscuits, and generally manage to keep up with my by line during warmer months but haven't found a way to make that work when the temperature never rises above 20F (sometimes never about 0F-this is after all Minnesota )
