we serve family style and the children chose what to put on their plates or not. I never throw veggies away. Leftover veggies go to the kids who actually eat them (or me!)

We offer seconds of everything, but I RARELY put out full seconds of grain servings (most often times I see menus over feeding grain, eg a whole sandwich is TWO servings of grain for 2yo's.) so their options are a small amount of grain, veggies and sometimes fruit (we do lots of double veggie choices)
