Help! I am really racking my brain here trying to come up with stuff. She seems to be super super picky as of late and everything that I give her she turns her nose up at. She has never really liked meat (lunch meat/chicken/beef).
The only things she will eat:
bananas
yogurt
oranges (sometimes)
fishsticks
goldfish
mac and cheese
apples (sometimes)
dry cereal
eggs (sometimes)
Things she used to love that now are thrown on the floor:
guacomole
cheese slices
tomatoes
bread
pickles
olives
pasta
waffles
french toast
peaches
pears
peas
peanut butter crackers
honeydew
blueberries
cantelope
sandwiches
carrots
oatmeal
Any ideas on what I can give her or try? I am really running out of ideas here.
Re: what will your toddler eat?
grapes
strawberries
raspberries
watermelon
Cheese sticks (maybe stick form is better than slices?) c likes both mozz and cheddar sticks
pizza--the real deal or english muffin pizza
peanut butter toast, with a tiny drizzle of honey if I need to bribe her
raisins
cereal bars
frozen peas just rinsed, but still cold (helps when teething, too)
dried fruit
We're having similar issues. Apparently she'll eat anything and everything at daycare. Not so much at home. Serves me right for being a picky eater growing up.
DD used to eat so much more. Now, not so much. This is the list of foods that she'll eat:
String cheese - NOT regular cheese
Frozen Pea/Carrot Mix (she won't eat carrots unless they're mixed with peas)
Bread
Noodles (without cheese or sauce)
Morning Star Turk'y Avocado Patties
Hummus
Meatballs
Rotisserie Chicken
Grapes (cut into 1/4s)
Apples (thin slices)
Pirate Bootie
Veggie Straws
Dried Blueberries
Raisins
Cheerios
GoGo Squeeze (or similar type) apple sauce - she won't let me feed her sauce on a spoon.
Pears(only if they're super ripe)
Bananas
Goldfish
Bacon
Turkey Sausage
Tofu (sometimes)
Peanut or Almond Butter (sometimes)
Animal Crackers
Pretzels
Yogurt
Turkey lunchmeat (Boar's Head low-sodium)
Chicken and cheese quesadillas (on whole grain or veggie tortilla)
Fruit (bananas, strawberries, pears, peaches, oranges, pineapple, canteloupe, blueberries, apples, grapes...basically any fruit)
Bread (whole grain)
Waffles (whole grain or sweet potato)
Pancakes
French toast
Yogurt (usually w/ applesauce or sweet potato puree)
Veggie chips
Cheese (string and regular)
Raisins
Cheerios
Crackers
Chicken nuggets
Sweet potato fries
Pasta (including butternut squash stuffed ravioli)
Macaroni and cheese
Fish sticks
Pretty much any Dr. Praeger's or Happy Baby product
Morningstar black bean burgers
Mini carrots (pretty much the only veggie she'll eat)
Puffs
Rice
Everyone who listed veggie straws/sticks - thank you! I just bought some and let her try them - she loves them!
Trying some more of yalls suggestions this week too.

Chiming in late, but I'll add (that I haven't already seen listed):
black beans & tofu
DD will pretty much eat anything if you add rice to it {her Asian heritage is strong like bull} so we make a lot of rice casserole-type stuff. I ALWAYS have rice in the fridge so I tend to mix stuff together with rice and cook it in the microwave (or on the stove if I have time) and feed it to her that way.
