Part Time Vegetarian

TunaTown

LO will eat meat at school, but she won't have anything about meat at home.

Our meals at home primarily consist of cottage cheese (she's on a big cc kick), veggies (loves fresh steamed broccoli and green beans), fruit, mac & cheese, waffles, pancakes, and almond butter sandwiches. I try to give her meat, but all she'll eat is turkey (Applegate organic). She'll also drink milk. No eggs.

Anyone else's LO like this?

Yes Yes Yes!! DD eats like a champ at school...but home- eh, not so much. I'm right there with you mama!

That's pretty much how DD's life is going to go. H & I are vegetarians, but we don't plan on making DD be one unless she decides to later. She eats meat at DC and I'll occasionally offer her something simple at home, but I won't be making meat for her otherwise.

DS eats EVERYTHING for my sitter, but jack for us. I'm home for the summer, so I'm worried about his eating. Today he ate cheerios for breakfast, shredded mozzarella cheese for lunch, and crackers with goat cheese for dinner I thought I could get away with sneaking some beef into his rice and carrots at lunch, but he wouldn't touch it. At dinner he wouldn't touch the couscous with chicken either! WTF am I going to do all summer? Gah!

My youngest won't have anything to do with meat. I am having a hard time finding ways for him to get the nutrients he needs that he misses from the meat. I need to do some research. He eats pretty healthy in every other way though.

Have you tried meat on the bone? Olivia eats the most meat when it's drumsticks or ribs or something. Also, it's funny to watch. But yeah she generally eats more at daycare or grandma's house than at home. Maybe I'm a bad cook.

My middle child will only eat meat in spaghetti sauce and chicken nuggets.  She's 9.  When she was a baby/toddler I'd try to hide it in her food.  If a bite made it into her mouth she'd swish her food around and spit out the meat!

My LO is a voracious carnivore!

Ours will be. DH is a vegetarian and we never cook meat at home, so LO will never have it there (except for fish sometimes). But we won't try to prevent him from eating it when it is available.

I think I'll try this! If anything, for the entertainment factor.
