My daughter can be a picky eater at times, but telling her she has to stay at the table until she eats it usually works. I remind her that it won't taste good if it gets cold. (I only do this with things I know she likes, but doesn't want to eat because she wants to play.) When it comes to trying new foods, sometimes she thinks they look or sound yucky (or pretends to, lol), so I tell her they taste like something she likes - then she'll at least try it. Even if it doesn't taste like whatever I said, she usually laughs and says No it doesn't, it taste like... And then whatever she thinks. But she's learned she likes a lot of different foods this way

Being Italian, I grew up on Barilla Pasta. When I started my diet, one of the things I was unwilling to let go of was my pasta, so we tried Barilla Whole Grain! OMG you can barely taste the difference! It's delicious! One of the house's favorite dishes is when I make the Penne with tuna. It's the only way I will eat Tuna! I saute onions and garlic with a little EVOO add a few fresh tomatoes, add the tuna, top it with about 2 cups of water, let it get to a boil, add some fresh basil, let it reduce, toss with the Penne! You'll never hear your kids complain about tuna ever again! Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

My wife is all about the whole grain pasta, and Barilla is good stuff.

I love Barilla and have used Barilla Whole Grain for a while now. Way better than pretty much any of the other brands' whole grain offerings. Nom.

OH yummy! I hope I win!
My favorite healthy recipe uses whole grain pasta, fresh spinach, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper, and diced cook chicken, all tossed together. We love to use whole grain pastas in place of "regular" ones in all pasta dishes! YUM!

Onions and peppers tossed with some olive oil and whole grain pasta is great! Throw in some grilled chicken for the meat lovers.
