I remember being a 15 yo kid and being a super picky eater! I also worked in the kitchens of "higher" end campers ( teens ) and they don't really eat a whole lot of different unless they have gourmet cooks at home.

Most of these parents work so the kids are at the mercy of housekeepers or cooks or whatever is in the freezer or they have the number of a great pizza delivery service.

Don't over think this one, remember yourself at 15 what you loved or would've loved to eat and go from there.

(PS: Most 15 year old girls won't eat ...much...and are too embarassed to eat in front of boys! Just a heads up..lol)

But, the suggestions sound great...especially if you are trying to impress the parents!

I think you are right, Risque. I ran the proposal by my 17 yr old and went with offering them 3 possibilities to choose their 2 meals form: Remember these needed to be veggie/dairy -Option 1: Veggie Subs with fruit, chips, cookie
Option 2: Choice of Tuna on roll or humus wrap with same sides. Option 3: Minestrone Soup woth roll, string cheese stick & cookie.

Dinner options - They wanted chicken -
Option 1: Chicken Cacciatore, Pasta, Salad, Garlic Bread, Brownies
Option 2: Roasted Chicken, Salad, Mashed, Green Beans, Brownies

My son was really clear about what the kids would eat. And yes, I know the girls will eat little in front of the boys!

Thanks for all your help!
