Mary
1. She loves spagetti and pintos and cheese from Taco Bell. I know...bad mom.

2. Probably breakfast.
3. Meat of any sort lately.
4. Yes, very. That's why I let him eat whatever he wants...within reason, of course. I figure he needs the calories.
Cute story: The other day, DS absolutely refused to eat his dinner, so I took him out of his high chair to play while DH and I ate. He went through our pantry, pulled out a box of Ramen noodles I often make for me, and begged for it. He ate it all up with a vengeance!!
1. Turkey dogs, cheese sandwich, cheerios, peas
2. He eats well at all meals but proably dinner since we all sit down together.
3. He does not care for red meat.
4. Not yet and I hope that he wont be.
2. What is his/her favorite meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner? - probably lunch, i think its just the timing
3. What is a food that your toddler won't eat? - not a big fan of meat but will eat it depending on how its made, what its with
4. Do you think your toddler is a picky eater? - not really, just moody like we all are!
2. What is his/her favorite meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner? All of them! LOL. I think dinner just because daddy is with us then.
3. What is a food that your toddler won't eat? The only 2 foods I've found that she won't eat is pastina (too grainy, I think) and scrambled eggs.
4. Do you think your toddler is a picky eater? Not at all. She's a little piggy!
I have made an effort not to give her more stuff if she doesn't initally eat what I put in front of her. I want her to get into the habit of eating what she is given.
1. What is a meal that your DC will eat every bite of? Homemade pot roast and all the veggies I make with it (carrots, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, and anything else I put in front of her that night) She eats so much of all of that sometimes that it makes me feel full just watching her. She also loves bananas and always eats a whole one in one sitting.
2. What is his/her favorite meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner? Dinner.
3. What is a food that your toddler won't eat? Honestly, I can't think of anything she doesn't like.
4. Do you think your toddler is a picky eater? Not at all. She eats everything and loves everything.
I don't have any real tips though. She's just a good eater and she always has been. I try to offer her a variety of foods every day.
1. What is a meal that your DC will eat every bite of? Pretty much anything that we give him!
2. What is his/her favorite meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner? Honestly, he seems to love everything at all times of the day.
3. What is a food that your toddler won't eat? The ONLY thing that we've found so far is babyfood spinach. **Edit-I forgot that he also doesn't like scrambled eggs.
4. Do you think your toddler is a picky eater? He is the opposite of a picky eater.
1. What is a meal that your DC will eat every bite of? Homemade macaroni and cheese with broccoli. She also loves plain tofu.
2. What is his/her favorite meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner? Lunch, because that's when I give her the cheesy foods she loves.
3. What is a food that your toddler won't eat? Meat. I don't eat red meat, and I haven't put much effort into trying to get her to eat it either.
4. Do you think your toddler is a picky eater? Somewhat. She eats a good variety, but she's not one to eat whatever I put on her plate.
My picky eater tip: add fruit or cheese! Those are DD's favorites, and I can usually get her to eat anything just by adding those. I give her turkey with applesauce, chicken in cheesy mashed potatoes, broccoli or peas in macaroni and cheese, and spinach underneath the sauce and cheese on English muffin pizzas.
2. What is his/her favorite meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner? All of them
3. What is a food that your toddler won't eat? Avocado, he makes hilarious faces but spits it out every time.

3. What is a food that your toddler won't eat? I am not sure she has one. I have yet to find anything.
4. Do you think your toddler is a picky eater? Taylor, NO WAY. She eats well and she eats alot. Alex is a healthy eater (requests carrots, celery, apples, oranges. but doesn't eat well at meals.)

2. She probably loves dinner most because she gets to try new foods and eats with the family.
