Re: What does your LO love to eat?
Robbie has become a picky eater as well. He used to eat pretty much anything but for about the last 6 months or so nada. Here is what he will not eat, Meat(chicken, beef, burgers) most veggies.
He will eat cheese, pasta ( including filled raviols), most fruit, jello, fruit smoothies, yogurt, peanut butter and jelly, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, canned green beans, soup (somtimes not all kind), Cheese sandwiches and Tomato soup, Mac & Cheese, oh and Pizza somtimes.
It is a battle at meal times that I am so annoyed with.
Oct 2011 3 1/2 years old.
Robert Williams Birth date 5/16/2008
Fruit (esp apples, grapes and watermelon), Crackers/chips, Chili (I was shocked! It is not spicy though), grilled cheese, fish sticks, cheese, cheese roll ups, veggie nuggets.
All things must have a "dip" of some sort though. For fruit she dips it in yogurt, every thing else gets ranch, tartar or ketchup.
He eats these mostly
Breakfast:
Pancakes, bananas, apples, grapes, watermelon, waffles, blueberry bagels with cream cheese, cantaloupe, strawberries, pears, biscuits.
Lunch:
Chicken Nuggets, goldfish, (fruit mentioned above), Mac N cheese (shapes not noodles), cheese, quesdillas,Peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Dinner
Cheese burger, noodles (penne) with red sauce, chicken, potatoes usually chopped up baked or boiled, fruit, carrots,
He is pretty picky too and eats about the same thing daily. Usually if I try something new he will love it for one day and not eat it again.
he won't eat hotdogs, nuggets, or PB&J like most kids!
I make biscuits with ground sausage and cheese and call them rolls,
Tuna casserol and call it mac n cheese
chicken burgers from TJ"s ($3.50 for 2 and they are delish)
Pizza crust with cheese and veggies as long as he gets to help and we call it pizza
If Walter thinks he will like something he'll eat it. I have to play games with him but after enough prodding he will try it.
Of course we are only 1 and a somewhat picky eater...but
Breakfast: bananas, scrambled eggs (I sneak in tomatoes/spinach/cheese), french toast sticks, crumbled sausage, blueberry pancakes, diced plums, chai seeds soaked in milk (high fiber-looks and tastes like tapioca), strawberries, yogurt, multi-grain cheerios
Lunch: 1/2 pseudo grilled cheese sandwich (no butter), soft carrots, rice with orange chicken, spinach ravioli, applesauce, shredded cheese, diced avocado, tofu, pinto beans
Dinner: World Baby Jarred foods (tummy thai esp.), spinach lasagna, bread, turkey meatloaf, salmon, coconut red curry over rice, diced potatoes, pizza crust, soft carrots, mashed cauliflower...and sometimes a banana again!
...and blue frosting of course...we LOVE blue frosting!!Breakfast- wholegrain blueberry or cinnamon eggos, danimal little yogurt, cinnamon toast, fruit, homemade pancakes/waffles, cereal, oatmeal.
Lunch-pb&j, pb&honey, just pb, tuna, turkey/ham w/cheese, grilled cheese, peppers, leftovers from dinner.
Dinner-whatever we are eating...
She loves blueberries and yogurt and will eat a few bites of just about anything to get some blueberries. So I work that angle a lot
The biggest thing with her is that she gets bored very quickly and won't eat something more than 2 days in a row.
She loves chili and black bean soup. Sometimes I put crackers in soup and that helps - especially if they're goldfish.
She will eat just about anything if it's wrapped in a tortilla - eggs, chicken, beef. I call it a burrito and she loves it.
She loves chicken quesadillas
Just about any fruit.
PB&J
Rolls with jelly and cream cheese
Edamame and Carrots are about the only veggies she eats anymore. Sometimes I sneak some purees in her soups and smeared on her quesadillas.
ETA: She loves hotdogs. And she ate Ham the other day when I told her it tasted like a hotdog

Cruz loves those blueberry and strawberry cereal bars from TJ's and he LOVES The applesauce that comes in the packets they suck out. I have to limit him on two of those or he would eat the whole dang box in 1 sitting!
Cruz doesn't really like meat either so its just deli ham or turkey or hot dogs. He loves subway but just wants ham and bread (nothing else) The other night we did get him to eat a couple bites of flank steak and a few bites of rice a roni. He likes canned green beans and raw baby carrots(sometimes) He still loves edamame.
He loves the ham and cheese lean pockets, pizza, and recently chicken noodle soup but it has to be either in Cars shapes or toy story shapes (maybe she would like the princess shapes)
sometimes he will eat bites of my bagel and cream cheese, though I'm going to try sticking some little bagels with cream cheese in his lunch box for school since lunches are tough to pack and we can't do pb. he loves raw top ramen and cooked and pretty much any noodle around but no sauce except for mac and cheese. Phew I think that is it.
Breakfast - maple and borwn sugar oatmeal is her current fav. She also likes waffles, swedish pancakes and bacon.
Lunch - Tortilla wrap (cream cheese and lunch meat), Club crackers with spreadable swiss cheese and Lebanon Bologna (you can find it at QFC - ask for a sample - the stuff is delicious!)
Dinner - generally she is given whatever we eat, but mostly she is only interested in the condiments with sour cream being her current fav.
There is also fruit and veggies in there, this is just her current fav list.
With a toddler, try putting one new food on her tray, every day for a week. Not a big deal if she doesn't eat it, but it will start to become familiar and she will be more open to try it.
During one of Luke's food strikes I could get him to eat anything if I put sprinkles on it. I wish that phase had lasted longer.
We are in a seriously picky phase, too, but it's made worse by the fact that Collin has decided that he's a big fan of ethnic foods, and things like macaroni and cheese aren't cutting it. In general, though ...
Breakfast: Trader Joe's cereal bars, sometimes a bowl of Cheerios and milk, French toast, waffles, and both milk and juice.
Lunch: Soup (he likes the chicken noodle soup you make from a box), chili (LOVES it) crackers with melted or cream cheese, PB&J on organic whole-wheat bread (no crust!), cottage cheese, leftovers from the night before.
Dinner: Generally what we eat. Loves spaghetti one day and hates it the next, LOVES chicken, will eat a little salad, low-carb pizza, whole-wheat calzones, happiest guy on earth if we get Thai or Indian.
Snacks: Spinach dip, 7-layer dip, (both with crackers) Annie's natural bunny cookies, string cheese (depending on his mood), applesauce, pudding, sugar-free jello, and he recently decided hummus was acceptable with his crackers.
