Back when I was married, I complained that it seems like every time we had pasta, green beans went with. Not just at our house, it seemed to be a universal consensus that green beans with with spaghetti and red sauce. But it always seemed wrong to me.
I like green beans, just not with pasta.
Apparently, my alternative is just as repugnant to my only child. Except she wouldn't like sprouts no matter what I served them with.
Two sprouts. And I had to offer the specter of ass cancer and the prospect of not going down the street to play after dinner in order to get those in her. Holy jeez.
I couldn't get her to eat the salad at all.

My daughter, Lydia loves sprouts and salad probably because her Father is a real food Fascist. Yesterday she said "I like cabbage because it's like big Brussel sprouts."
Cabbage is just a big Brussels sprout! Perceptive kid.
I told Em the sprouts were like baby cabbage because she occasionally likes cabbage, but she wasn't having any of Dad's crazy theories.
Sprout cousins, from Belgium :-)
My husband makes Lydia sit at the table until all her food has gone. I thought it was a bit draconian but it works. She eats everything including fish!I am not saying she likes it though :-) She's just 8.
Your kids look cool and sane.
