My kids are driving me crazy

OK.....I need some feedback here.  My kids are driving me nuts.  It seems within the last couple of months, our kid's dinner eating habits have changed.  I can't make dinners any more or eat out any more without someone complaining and refusing to eat.  It seems that their likes/dislikes change by the minute.  I made matzoh ball soup the other night....used to be a huge family hit.  No longer so.  NO ONE ATE IT!!  Not one ate it. Not a one....went to waste. Was going to make sushi another night...only one kid (out of three) said they would eat it, so I didn't make it. Ordered Jet's Pizza - old family favorite.  Only one kid ate it.  The other two complained A LOT, but eventually they did eat some of it.

And now for restaurants.  Places we would go with not one complaint have now turned into complaints galore.  REALLY???  You are complaining about a free meal??? REALLY??

What am I to do??  I am so tired of hearing complaints over food.  There is no longer anything I can make or anywhere we can go that everyone smiles and says "Yeah!".

Please write here and either make me feel better by commiserating with me or tell me strategies how to deal with this.

Great, healthy, easy dinner - Chef's salad

This is a wonderful, healthy supper - Chef's salad.  I just go to the deli section of the grocery store and have them cut the meat and cheese about 1/2 inch thick.  This night I had turkey, salami, and muenster cheese.  I also cut up an onion and picked some tomatoes from my garden. I usually like to try a new salad dressing when I serve this supper.
