My son is a picky eater as well and he loves this recipe, I make it all the time.
PASTA WITH ROASTED EGGPLANT AND TOMATO SAUCE
This is a Vegetarian Main dish I love.
1 med Eggplant
1/2 lb Penne, rigatoni or pasta (shells)
1 1/2c Tomato sauce
4 Garlic cloves -- finely minced
2 tbsp Capers -- rinsed and coarsely-chopped
Pinch Hot red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tsp Dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Prick the eggplant in a few places with a
knife.
Place on a baking sheet and roast for about
40 minutes, turning occasionally for even
cooking, until the eggplant is tender but
not falling apart.
When the eggplant is cool enough to handle,
peel it and dice the pulp. Place the pulp in
a colander to drain away any bitter juices.
Discard the skin.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Drop in the pasta and stir the eggplant and
the rest of the ingredients and warm
through. season to taste. Adjust salt,
pepper, and hot red pepper to taste. If the
tomatoes are tart, add a pinch of sugar to
compensate.
When the pasta is al dente, drain and toss
with the sauce.
Serve at once.
Serving Size: 2

Fettucine Alfredo
Ingredients
(6 servings)
1/2 c Unsalted (sweet) butter,
1 lb Fresh Fettucine noodles
1/2 c Light cream (or diluted Creme Fraiche),
1 c Freshly grated parmesan cheese,
1 Pinch of nutmeg,
1 Pinch of fresh parsley (optional),
1 Little pepper (optional).
Instructions
Put water on to boil for the noodles. As the water comes to a boil, start preparing the sauce. In a separate pan melt unsalted (sweet) butter over very low heat - DO NOT LET IT BROWN!!
Once the butter has melted, stir into the butter: light cream (or the diluted Creme Fraiche), freshly grated parmesan cheese. Beat this with a whisk to keep the sauce from clumping. Once the sauce is smooth, season the sauce with a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of fresh parsley (optional), and a little pepper (optional).
Turn the sauce down to a simmer and add fresh Fettucine noodles (or a batch of homemade noodles) to the boiling water. When the noodles are cooked al dente, drain and toss gently with sauce. Serve immediately.
The order of these steps is important, as it is better to make the sauce wait for the noodles than to make the noodles wait for the sauce.

Yes, I'm typing up some ideas for you.
You may like to bake the fish in a white sauce.
heat gently a spoonful of biutter and a spoonful of corn flour (corn starch) til it foms a single lunp. continue to cook for a couple of minutes, without letting the buuter/ flour go any darker. Then stir in gradually abouyt 1/2 pint of liquid - milk,is good and you can add grated cheese to it for flavour. Cook long enough for the sauce to get thick and for any cheese added to melt. A little mustard (made up or powder) brings out the flavour of cheese.
[ If the sauce goes lumpy blitz it with a "wand " liquidiser or another kind if ytou have to. Now that liquidisers exist you never have to live with lumpy sauce.]
Put the fish into a greaed pyrex dish and into an oven (350F / 180C) til the fish flakes apart when prodded with a fork.
If you don't like milky sauce, you can use juice - I love orange with salmon and if you like pineapple, try some pineapple juice to make the sauce.
Serve a big salad with this made of the veggies you do like.
Tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce (Cos / Romaine lettuce has things in it which are supposed to be good for you)
If you enjoy fruit, put some of that in the salad too.
If you don't like canned beans, have you ever tried fresh green beans (French or Scarlet Runners)?
If you don't like olives, what about a pickled gherkin?
If you see something new in the veggie department at the shop, go on.....try it, it may be better than you fear.
good luck with your cooking

You need to broaden your eating taste. You will be darn hard to live with as a family in the future. One of my young relatives eats only macaroni and cheese dinners out of a box. Of course her weight is going up, up, up.
1 Cup Bulgar, 2 Cups chicken broth, 1/4 C chopped onions, garlic. boil in sauce pan till liquid is evaporated.
