We try to have family meals together at least three nights per week. This means preparing food that everyone can eat, at least in some form. I also try to make a new recipe at least once every week or two.A couple of weeks ago, I chose a recipe for Tibetan-style noodle curry from my Passionate Vegetarian cookbook. It has noodles, chopped vegetables, tofu . . . lots of Nora's favorites. During the cooking process, I must have thrown in a little too much cayenne powder because it turned out spicier than I intended. But having worked hard to get everything together for a nice Sunday dinner, I figured we might as well try it anyway.
To my surprise, Nora loved it. She not only loved it for dinner that night, but she loved it for lunch for the next two days. She just kept shoveling it in. And I thought it was pretty good myself.

Julia loves spicy food too! I'm always suprised when she tries something spicy (Jim loves spicy food), and wants more. I couldn't even handle pepperoni or hot tamales (candy) until I was a teenager.
Although my baby's a meat eater, she likes a lot of the same things you've tried with Nora. One of her favorite is macaroni and cheese, I make it was homemade Tillamook Cheddar sauce. Safeway has these great whole wheat bug-shaped noodles. We use them in a lot of different things. When she was about Nora's age, she really liked plain noodles with chunks of firm tofu, cheddar cubes, and tomato chunks with cilantro and lemon pepper.
