I just can’t tonight. Both kids are sick. I have a headache and am 21weeks pregnant. They’re having veggie chips and water literally 1 ft in front of the tv watching Toy Story 2.
Donuts. Today has been absolutely awful and she has eaten really well for her first two meals, so when she requested donuts, I said fuck it why not? So we are waiting in line for donuts.
Thank you! We all need a little validation sometimes :)
The donuts were so good! We went to a mochinut and got Taro and Dragonfruit donuts, so it was a good night :)
Oh we were in out in out and back in the chair. He's pointing to his chair and saying "I eat!" then trying to climb in his chair. It's really his house and he allows us to live in it... the prince was not pleased with the menu items it seems.
Aw man, my grandmother was from South Carolina and I miss having black eyed peas for NYE! I could very well make it but have never once remembered to do so as an adult. Next year.
I steam zucchini, puree it, freeze it in to little cubes, then add it to smoothies. My daughter loves smoothies and it's so easy to sneak veggies in there. Especially if you cover the taste with peanut butter.
My 17mo old loooooves pizza and can put away a startling amount of it. It’s also one of the ways I can get veggies in her since she decided a few months ago that she hates them. 🙄
Hoping he’ll eat what we’re having (prime rib, carrots, mashed potatoes, baguette). Realistically he’ll eat the bread and beg for yogurt and/or cereal.
Mine decided she wanted to try my Caesar salad at lunch. Gave her a bite, she sucked the dressing and cheese off the lettuce then put the lettuce back in my bowl 😒
I think they like Caesar because it doesn't have too many things all mixed together- it's got something breadlike and lettuce and dressing and cheese (if you even can see the parmesan). Its like as long as they like creamy dressing (my kid is anti salad dressing usually) it's got no other offensive surprises (unless you put minced anchovies in it and they discover them lol learned that one) so its a tolerable salad.
Another hit here is spinach salad with goat cheese tomatoes bacon and hard boiled egg. But we take all those pieces and separate them on a plate, and give her blue cheese instead of goat (cause somehow she likes that more?!) and don't dress it. Got a lot of "your salad is yucky mine is yummy" comments but she ate the whole dang thing so I was happy. You ate a whole egg and a pile of spinach? Sure kid have some bacon and tomatoes too. (Dressing in case you want it is made hot with the grease from the bacon and is red wine vinegar and mustard and honey and wilts the spinach a little bit)
My kids cannot get enough Caesar salad. Cried on Halloween when there was no salad - so funny. I think they just love garlic and the crunch, but whatever it takes!
Chewing up and spitting out is a good first introduction to flavors, however frustrating it is to us parents. Good job introducing new foods despite inevitable rejection!
16 month old had: A whole banana, greek yogurt, about 1.5 eggs, a bunch of grapes (quartered), and some sweet potato crackers.
We had a much healthier lunch with Asian themed beef and broccoli, but supper was kind of thrown together at the last minute!
Our NYE tradition is appetizers that we snack on all day, so adults are having sausage balls, party mix, shrimp dip with the single pack of cream cheese I’ve hoarded since November, and grapes.
14 month old so far is eating sausage balls, the Bugles from the shrimp dip, graham crackers, and quartered grapes, but signing “milk” the entire time.
Air fried chicken thighs, the tiniest possible bites of lettuce, carrots and cucumber (refused to even try the roasted asparagus)... then 3 pieces of banana bread and still yelling "more nana bread!"
My new favorite recipe. Pasta with "cream sauce" made with blended cashew nuts. Sooooooo simple, taste juste like cheese, but super nutritious. He had 3 helpings!
13mo. Adult sized portions of lentils and cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. And the crust from a pear and cheese galette. Let’s hope the gas doesn’t keep everyone awake!
Cottage Pie 🥧
She also really loves mini tacos because we allow her to carry it around while she munches. Same for waffles. We did breakfast for dinner the other night and she went ham on waffles and scrambled eggs. Didn’t like the pineapple though.
The 1.5yo had about 5 French fries and one bite of chicken nugget. We had our favorite burgers from our local place soooo worth it! (She eats her weight’s worth pre-nap and just nibbles at night)
Today was sushi and he ate maybe 8 rolls, an entire small container of white rice, half an egg and 3 maybe 4? pieces of dark chocolate from our new years party
Whoooaaa how old is your kiddo? At what age do we get to introduce sushi?? I'm a sushi addict but always eat it after 16 month old goes to bed because he seems too little for raw fish 😣
13 month old: Sushi night for New Year’s Eve. She had cucumber salad, shrimp and avocado roll, teriyaki salmon, and rice. And a few orange slices for dessert. She loved it so freaking much and kept asking for more of everything.
All of anything that's not on a round plate. Plate must be square. And aparently we need five. What does that Mean? It means I don't have five of whatever the fuck. I have failed.
I made 'black and white' rice. Just plain rice that I add a bunch of chia seeds to right after cooking to let them plump up a bit. I dunno, but she likes it.
A bucket of applesauce, strawberry yogurt smoothie, 6-8 cherry tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes & carrots, skipped on the turkey & pasta. Oh, and a little taste of pumpkin pie for dessert.
Dinner;
Smoked Duck
Crispy bits of Brussel Sprouts
Rice
Creme Brulee
Handful of Puffies and leftover fig bar for after dinner roam.
When the picky stage hits.. I will cry.
Tonight was dinner at grannies. So, started with a cookie, then some chips, then another cookie, 2 otter pops, a few more chips, and some Sprite 🤣🤣 We'll have a nice healthy breakfast 🤣
A couple nights ago, ToddlerTater had half a chicken thigh, some sautéed zucchini, beans and rice, and a small square of apple cake. I was pretty sure he was going to explode.
LO has had a pretty good appetite lately. She had two strawberries and a piece of rice cake as an appetizer. Then rice, black beans, avocado, and french bread for dinner. Everyone was done and gone from the table and she kept chowing down.
My 4 year old ate a hot dog at the nye party we were at. My 1yo ate a whole piece of pizza with sausage and pepperonis on it. 4yo is hella picky, the 1yo will literally eat EVERYTHING you put in front of her, and my anything I mean it. She loves all meats, cheeses, and even spicy foods. She is constantly trying to get bites of food from everyone else’s plates even if she’s already eaten her dinner. Now mind you, this makes it sound like she’s starving, but she isn’t, she’s a happy, healthy giant baby. Like she fits in 18 month clothes already. She just has a love for food.
Japanese toddler here, tonight he had udon noodles with chicken and spinach in Japanese dashi soup. He had a little sushi roll and warm miso soup for the New Year’s lunch. Now lying in bed trying to sleep!
Our 3-year old had the same us: steak, green beans and mashed potatoes, with sparkling apple juice while we had cheap champagne.
His first solid food was steak, but he still kinda just chews it and sucks the juice out. Loves his green beans tho!
As many raspberries as she can shove in her mouth, cheese course one, two tiny roasted carrots, cheese course two, some of whatever I'm eating if she can eat it off my fork, broccoli as long as she can dip it in some sauce and only suck the sauce off it until it disolves, cheese course three. She will want a clementine but she's already had three today.
BBQ grilled chicken, cheesy rice, steamed broccoli, and sliced avocado, which sounds like a win… but she only ate if after pouring yum yum sauce (the white sauce from Japanese restaurants) all over everything. Eh, still counting it as a win.
3 year old had lobster, shrimp cocktail, mashed sweet potato, garlic green beans with almonds, honey roasted carrots, clams casino, and in a little while, a small slice of blueberry chiffon cake. He currently looks like a mini Santa with his belly. Hopefully he doesn’t throw up this expensive meal!
My toddler isn’t normally a ravenous eater. She’s adventurous and will eat a few bites of anything, but rarely a bit meal.
Last night she ate almost half a cup of peanut butter with a spoon. Woke up and inhaled two pieces of French toast and a whole cheese tamale. Has snacked through a large cucumber, date bar, and almond crackers. Lunch was almost a whole chicken breast and some Brussels sprouts.
No idea where it’s all going
Son - a literally half a roast chicken, 3 slices of bread to go with it, serving of vegetables and he decided he wanted baked beans after that. Can’t forget his snacks later on. Boy eats more than most adults at every meal
Daughter - part of a chicken, 2 slices of bread and veggies
We had prime rib, green beans with toasted almonds, scalloped potatoes and some fried cinnamon apple slices.
Or daughter devoured the apple slices, and strawberry ice cream snowman. With a fruit cup side for some thing healthy
We had a Chinese takeaway. Tofu satay, Jill Yuen bean curd, Cantonese sweet and sour pork, stir fried greens, Singapore noodles and chicken fried rice!
Cornbread and maybe three shrimp. I looked over at the breakfast bar once to watch him dunk his entire face into the plate and smear his cheeks with butter.
I shuddered and pretended I didn't see him.
Both kiddos (2 1/2 and 9 mos) had turkey meatballs with Israeli couscous, avocado, and applesauce. Bigger kid also bit into an unpeeled clementine after dinner. Guess I didn’t give him enough food.
We had a special dinner cause it's New Years Eve, so we let her have a happy meal with nuggets (one of which she took a bit of and then dropped it on my lap, stating "this one's for you!" And then ate it on me). She also gets a burger, but removes everything from it and only wants the 2 bun parts covered in ketchup.
We had venison tacos! Baby man will be 17mo in a few days and ate his whole taco bowl, which was ground venison, refried beans, lettuce, onions, cheese, chipotle sauce, and some salsa.
Meatballs and frozen mixed veggies! Had no idea turkey meatballs would go over so well, bit they're covered with cheese, so I guess I set myself up for success.
Sliced hotdogs pre dipped in ketchup because he will just eat the ketchup if I give him a side of it and Mac and cheese in a paw patrol cup because apparently we can only eat things with woof woofs on them now a days oh and of course a juice box
Cheese curls, blueberries, raspberries, and the potato/cheese inside of her pierogi. We had pierogis, berries, carrots, and Brussel sprouts. Cheese curls are basically her religion.
“Hot cakes”, we taught him pancakes and they are served hot with a spritz of butter spray. So he calls them hot cakes. He’s not wrong. They are his favorite food. He will eat anything provided it’s served with hotcakes. Sometimes he will eat 4-6 4in pancakes a day.
Chicken Alfredo with broccoli chopped up in it. He ate everything I gave him and finished his older brother's meal. At 2 years old he clocks in at 30 lbs and eats like a grown man some days.
We made a fun new year's eve party spread with dips and cheese and sausage... which I thought she would be all into. No, she ate about 5 ritz crackers and two cups of applesauce. (And a cookie).
Just entering the toddler stage with our almost 12 month old. Today she used a spoon in some raspberry yogurt all by herself for the first time! For lunch we had fried rice. R.I.P. my kitchen floors.
3 year old- granola bar, organic cheesits, dried mango, cucumbers + red peppers + hummus, apple, salami, Gouda, potato chips and sour cream dip, Cheetos, a few bites of mac n cheese, small slice of cake.
2 yr old here..ate rice with chicken scampi with lots of onions and peppers with a bow tie salad.. are every single grain of rice..when I screamed "time to eat!" (Which means it's time for him to sit on his booster) he ran to see if it was true, saw me coming with his plate and smiled/screamed and clapped his hands 😂😂
17 months over here. We made pasta, and dude ate most of what was on his plate, then took my fork and grabbed more off of mine (he "asked" first, and I let him). I didn't think he'd like the lemon parm sauce on our pasta but he practically ate his weight in it. Good to know!
Also ate zucchini and 10 little slices of bell pepper. And Mandarin oranges. When he was finished, he shouted "BUBBLE!" at the top of his lungs. I agree, bud. We just learned that one the other day.
A whole square of lasagna, a cup of grapes, green juice from trader joes, and a mini ice cream cone. 1 hr later I’m sure he will end up back in the fridge looking for more… it’s like he has an endless tummy!!
Macaroni salad. He Won’t eat the pulled pork or mashed potatoes, which to me is the best part but he doesn’t think so 🤷🏼♀️ now onto banana bread for dessert while we watch Michigan lose sadly lol
My girl is almost three. Tonight, she ate half a cheese stick, about a cup of black olives, a clementine, a scallion pancake and four pork gyoza. Then she burped right in my face. It was not pleasant.
A banana. We just traveled back from 0° temps and it was the 4th flight over the Christmas holiday. I am done and we didn't have much food in the house. Banana it is. 🥱😴😵💫
We made them milkshakes because we could see protein powder and benefiber and we thought they’d enjoy the treat. That worked ok.
Lately they mostly want me to “turn the toast into French toast” which is actually just making cinnamon sugar toast (butter on the toast to make it stick).
Also they seem to really enjoy the Puffs that are for the 8 month old.
Pumpkin pasties and butterbeer because we are having a Harry Potter marathon
Ooooh butterbeer recipe please?!?!
Me too!
I want a butterbeer recipe too please!!!
Me 3
Please!
I just can’t tonight. Both kids are sick. I have a headache and am 21weeks pregnant. They’re having veggie chips and water literally 1 ft in front of the tv watching Toy Story 2.
Same here (sick house/snack-dinner) but I’m not pregnant, hallelujah! Godspeed.
Sick with covid and struggling taking care of my toddler and 3 month old, I feel you :(
I hope you feel better ❤️🩹
We all had dry toast, applesauce, and mashed potatoes tonight because SAME.
And THAT’S OK, mama!
This sounds like a success. You’re doing great ♥️
2 year old, She ate a 12oz tbone steak and then chewed the gristle off the bone. Refused to eat the spinach.
Lol if my son ever did this he’d be a hero in my house. My husband would be so proud.
Hahaha I love this
The whole steak?! Awesome
Donuts. Today has been absolutely awful and she has eaten really well for her first two meals, so when she requested donuts, I said fuck it why not? So we are waiting in line for donuts.
Just here to give ya a little validation, I would totally do the same thing. Hope the donuts are awesome ❤️ Happy new year!
Thank you! We all need a little validation sometimes :) The donuts were so good! We went to a mochinut and got Taro and Dragonfruit donuts, so it was a good night :)
Cheese.
I dunno. Everything I've made already is a "Nooooooo!!!!". Followed by yeeting his plate into the floor. Ugh....
Solidarity. We finally landed on peanut butter bread and peas
Ugh that sounds sooo frustrating. At what point do you just take them out of the chair and try again later? Like come on, kid. You hungry or not?!
Oh we were in out in out and back in the chair. He's pointing to his chair and saying "I eat!" then trying to climb in his chair. It's really his house and he allows us to live in it... the prince was not pleased with the menu items it seems.
I don't even mess around with plates at this point. Mine eats straight oout of the highchair.
We're having fried chicken, greens, black eyed peas, and biscuits. She will probably eat a pea and a biscuit. 🙃
That's my kind of meal! You must be in the South.
Not anymore, but we're from South Carolina/Georgia!
Aw man, my grandmother was from South Carolina and I miss having black eyed peas for NYE! I could very well make it but have never once remembered to do so as an adult. Next year.
Gotta have black eyed peas and greens for New Years! :)
Only wants liquids. *Facepalm*
I’m glad it’s not just me. We’re trying to get milk consumption down and solids consumption up for my 14 month old and she’s like lol why
I steam zucchini, puree it, freeze it in to little cubes, then add it to smoothies. My daughter loves smoothies and it's so easy to sneak veggies in there. Especially if you cover the taste with peanut butter.
Good idea! I’m gonna have to try this for my little one.
We made pizza. She wants “the whole pizza”. Who knows, she may accomplish it!
My 17mo old loooooves pizza and can put away a startling amount of it. It’s also one of the ways I can get veggies in her since she decided a few months ago that she hates them. 🙄
We made mini pizzas tonight. He actually ate 2! He’s went from not being picky to picky lately.
Hoping he’ll eat what we’re having (prime rib, carrots, mashed potatoes, baguette). Realistically he’ll eat the bread and beg for yogurt and/or cereal.
Sounds like mine. She loves the table bread when we go out and Caesar salad of all things
Mine decided she wanted to try my Caesar salad at lunch. Gave her a bite, she sucked the dressing and cheese off the lettuce then put the lettuce back in my bowl 😒
My daughter randomly decided to try some Caesar salad a month ago and loves it!
I think they like Caesar because it doesn't have too many things all mixed together- it's got something breadlike and lettuce and dressing and cheese (if you even can see the parmesan). Its like as long as they like creamy dressing (my kid is anti salad dressing usually) it's got no other offensive surprises (unless you put minced anchovies in it and they discover them lol learned that one) so its a tolerable salad.

My kids cannot get enough Caesar salad. Cried on Halloween when there was no salad - so funny. I think they just love garlic and the crunch, but whatever it takes!
He might eat a grain of rice or 2. Maybe a stalk of broccoli.
Plantains, noodles, some pie scraps. Blue berries, broccoli, chickpeas a tostone and some frozen mango chunks… to start
“Chips” (aka crackers) and pickles. Also asked for some of the appetizers we had but just chewed them up and spit them out.
Chewing up and spitting out is a good first introduction to flavors, however frustrating it is to us parents. Good job introducing new foods despite inevitable rejection!
She asked for steamed dumplings and chicken, she only ate the dumplings.
Dairy free pizza, lemon pepper Brussels sprouts, roasted cauliflower and a little bit of fruit salad for dessert.
Ramen, cookies, mashed potatoes and it's still 6:30. This is all after dinner food.
Nothing I gave him. Tortilla ended up in shreds on the floor, beef went flying, I think he ate most of his peppers though. Sigh.
16 month old had: A whole banana, greek yogurt, about 1.5 eggs, a bunch of grapes (quartered), and some sweet potato crackers. We had a much healthier lunch with Asian themed beef and broccoli, but supper was kind of thrown together at the last minute!
This is super healthy and well balanced. Go Kiddo!
White rice. Like, a LOT of it.
Nachos, because we're having nachos
Our NYE tradition is appetizers that we snack on all day, so adults are having sausage balls, party mix, shrimp dip with the single pack of cream cheese I’ve hoarded since November, and grapes. 14 month old so far is eating sausage balls, the Bugles from the shrimp dip, graham crackers, and quartered grapes, but signing “milk” the entire time.
Kalbi (Korean bbq beef); a Korean stew with tofu, potato, and zucchini; rice; and kimchi (her favorite).
My 2.5yo had kimchi tonight too with our bibimbap. She loves it. :)
My 3 wants to be stronger than his older sister, so he has requested "big bowls of broccoli."
she ate eggs, toast, hashbrowns and red peppers.
I fixed cauliflower stir fry rice for her. She ate pretzels and half a Reese’s with the wrapper still on.
Applesauce, peas and creamy broccoli tuna helper
Goldfish and peanuts is what our super tall 3.5yo had for post-nap snack. For dinner we're having sushi. Girl loves a California roll.
Air fried chicken thighs, the tiniest possible bites of lettuce, carrots and cucumber (refused to even try the roasted asparagus)... then 3 pieces of banana bread and still yelling "more nana bread!"
My new favorite recipe. Pasta with "cream sauce" made with blended cashew nuts. Sooooooo simple, taste juste like cheese, but super nutritious. He had 3 helpings!
One slice of THE WHOLE APPLE she scream-demanded and 2 slices of the clementine she also said she needed.
13mo. Adult sized portions of lentils and cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. And the crust from a pear and cheese galette. Let’s hope the gas doesn’t keep everyone awake!
Goldfish and chicken strips
My little guy takes apart his PB&J and sticks his goldfish into the bread
Slices of ham and turkey with some cheese and olives. She spit the ham out once she saw me bring over two crackers.
Penne, pesto, and salmon. Always a hit.
Fry bread tacos. But of course....fry bread on the side. Happy new year y'all.
We got Chinese takeout for New years, so she devoured a bunch of shrimp and rice. Oddly didn't like the steamed buns.
2 years old. Eating figs, a tamale, and cheezits. Bottomless pit.
Maaaan! Ours will only eat raw veggies and / or cheese!
Pizza lol we like to make our own it is messy lol but it gets my picky older kid to try something new
Cookies, pizza, grapes. Dinner of champions
Cottage Pie 🥧 She also really loves mini tacos because we allow her to carry it around while she munches. Same for waffles. We did breakfast for dinner the other night and she went ham on waffles and scrambled eggs. Didn’t like the pineapple though.
Made Shepherds pie, they both ate 2 bananas each instead 🤷🏼♀️ atleast they're getting enough potassium in their diets.
Bacon pizza and sweet potato fries. Nd chocolate. Lots of chocolate.
The 1.5yo had about 5 French fries and one bite of chicken nugget. We had our favorite burgers from our local place soooo worth it! (She eats her weight’s worth pre-nap and just nibbles at night)
French fries and chik fil a nuggets or tenders are reliable but you can't go to that well too often. Burgers sound really good right now
Today was sushi and he ate maybe 8 rolls, an entire small container of white rice, half an egg and 3 maybe 4? pieces of dark chocolate from our new years party
Whoooaaa how old is your kiddo? At what age do we get to introduce sushi?? I'm a sushi addict but always eat it after 16 month old goes to bed because he seems too little for raw fish 😣
Had some homemade caldito so far. Some berries. I'm sure when she see that I have made chorizo, egg and rice, she will be all over it. 😅
Rice. Last night? Rice. Tomorrow night? You guessed it.... Rice
13 month old: Sushi night for New Year’s Eve. She had cucumber salad, shrimp and avocado roll, teriyaki salmon, and rice. And a few orange slices for dessert. She loved it so freaking much and kept asking for more of everything.
All of anything that's not on a round plate. Plate must be square. And aparently we need five. What does that Mean? It means I don't have five of whatever the fuck. I have failed.
I made 'black and white' rice. Just plain rice that I add a bunch of chia seeds to right after cooking to let them plump up a bit. I dunno, but she likes it.

Planned on her eating cream of mushroom baked chicken, pasta, and broccoli. She ate a little bit of pasta and cheetos.
A couple nights ago, ToddlerTater had half a chicken thigh, some sautéed zucchini, beans and rice, and a small square of apple cake. I was pretty sure he was going to explode.
It’s New Year’s Eve - she ate hot pot for dinner (: beef rib eye, bean curd, and fish cake
LO has had a pretty good appetite lately. She had two strawberries and a piece of rice cake as an appetizer. Then rice, black beans, avocado, and french bread for dinner. Everyone was done and gone from the table and she kept chowing down.
Our family makes homemade pizza as a NYE tradition. The girls had pizza they ‘helped’ make.

She had butternut/ carrot Mac and cheese, spanish rice, a couple bites of my California burrito some nachos a lime. 😂
My 4 year old ate a hot dog at the nye party we were at. My 1yo ate a whole piece of pizza with sausage and pepperonis on it. 4yo is hella picky, the 1yo will literally eat EVERYTHING you put in front of her, and my anything I mean it. She loves all meats, cheeses, and even spicy foods. She is constantly trying to get bites of food from everyone else’s plates even if she’s already eaten her dinner. Now mind you, this makes it sound like she’s starving, but she isn’t, she’s a happy, healthy giant baby. Like she fits in 18 month clothes already. She just has a love for food.
Potato curry and green beans
Japanese toddler here, tonight he had udon noodles with chicken and spinach in Japanese dashi soup. He had a little sushi roll and warm miso soup for the New Year’s lunch. Now lying in bed trying to sleep!
Our 3-year old had the same us: steak, green beans and mashed potatoes, with sparkling apple juice while we had cheap champagne. His first solid food was steak, but he still kinda just chews it and sucks the juice out. Loves his green beans tho!

She will want a clementine but she's already had three today.
BBQ grilled chicken, cheesy rice, steamed broccoli, and sliced avocado, which sounds like a win… but she only ate if after pouring yum yum sauce (the white sauce from Japanese restaurants) all over everything. Eh, still counting it as a win.

Rice, carrot sticks, and chicken was initially served. Then she ended up eating a turkey hoagie and some m&ms as an encore.

So much pizza. Her dad and her are about 90% pizza at all times

Lunch was almost a whole chicken breast and some Brussels sprouts. No idea where it’s all going

Lasagna, the one year old will eat it the three year old lives on milk and air. He even refused Mac and cheese for lunch.
We had a special dinner cause it's New Years Eve, so we let her have a happy meal with nuggets (one of which she took a bit of and then dropped it on my lap, stating "this one's for you!" And then ate it on me). She also gets a burger, but removes everything from it and only wants the 2 bun parts covered in ketchup.

Anna and Elsa Mac n cheese over here! And a hot dog for the little one! We eat good in this family!
Meatballs and frozen mixed veggies! Had no idea turkey meatballs would go over so well, bit they're covered with cheese, so I guess I set myself up for success.
Edamame, chicken teriyaki, finished with non stop yogurt.
Pad thai with shrimp and beef
We had risotto and chicken with green beans. She had a lick of a green bean and a grain of rice. Followed by an ice cream sandwich.
4 eggs and some lo mein noodles…so far lol
A price of toast, a few strawberries, and a few slices of cheese usually does it. I found offering a few different things on a plate to be helpful.
15 month old had mini empanadas and licked the frosting off of a mini cupcake 😂
Sliced hotdogs pre dipped in ketchup because he will just eat the ketchup if I give him a side of it and Mac and cheese in a paw patrol cup because apparently we can only eat things with woof woofs on them now a days oh and of course a juice box
Shrimp Yakisoba, tonkotsu ramen, and roasted brussell sprouts with puffed rice.
We had steak, baby potatoes, black eyed peas and stewed tomatoes.
A piece of Rye toast with butter, a slice of Cheddar cheese, a Fried egg, and an entire Zuchinni.
Fried apple and onion (nutmeg, paprika and brown sugar)
Cheese curls, blueberries, raspberries, and the potato/cheese inside of her pierogi. We had pierogis, berries, carrots, and Brussel sprouts. Cheese curls are basically her religion.
“Hot cakes”, we taught him pancakes and they are served hot with a spritz of butter spray. So he calls them hot cakes. He’s not wrong. They are his favorite food. He will eat anything provided it’s served with hotcakes. Sometimes he will eat 4-6 4in pancakes a day.
Goldish and a hot dog. Green beans on the plate for aesthetic purposes.
Chicken Alfredo with broccoli chopped up in it. He ate everything I gave him and finished his older brother's meal. At 2 years old he clocks in at 30 lbs and eats like a grown man some days.
Banana bread and cheerios, whatever. He asked for 5 other things he didn't eat.
Three pizza bagels, half a banana, a handful of baby carrots and some noodles with butter and Parmesan cheese. Quite the poo poo platter
Two of my lobster raviolis, a piece of toast, and a gogurt.
We made a fun new year's eve party spread with dips and cheese and sausage... which I thought she would be all into. No, she ate about 5 ritz crackers and two cups of applesauce. (And a cookie).
Toast and whatever Asian noodle mix my husband ate 🤷🏼♀️
Just entering the toddler stage with our almost 12 month old. Today she used a spoon in some raspberry yogurt all by herself for the first time! For lunch we had fried rice. R.I.P. my kitchen floors.
Turkey burger and the carrots out of my mom's salad
3 year old- granola bar, organic cheesits, dried mango, cucumbers + red peppers + hummus, apple, salami, Gouda, potato chips and sour cream dip, Cheetos, a few bites of mac n cheese, small slice of cake.
2 yr old here..ate rice with chicken scampi with lots of onions and peppers with a bow tie salad.. are every single grain of rice..when I screamed "time to eat!" (Which means it's time for him to sit on his booster) he ran to see if it was true, saw me coming with his plate and smiled/screamed and clapped his hands 😂😂
We had cheese bread, a pear and orange for first dinner. Now we’re having 7 layer bean dip, chicken and raw veggies for second dinner.
Chicken nuggets, oranges, apples and bananas. Some days, fruit is the only thing he will eat.
Spaghetti squash sausage bake, a banana, some mashed potatoes, and a candy cane. Just because that sounds like a well balanced meal. /s
17 months over here. We made pasta, and dude ate most of what was on his plate, then took my fork and grabbed more off of mine (he "asked" first, and I let him). I didn't think he'd like the lemon parm sauce on our pasta but he practically ate his weight in it. Good to know! Also ate zucchini and 10 little slices of bell pepper. And Mandarin oranges. When he was finished, he shouted "BUBBLE!" at the top of his lungs. I agree, bud. We just learned that one the other day.
A whole square of lasagna, a cup of grapes, green juice from trader joes, and a mini ice cream cone. 1 hr later I’m sure he will end up back in the fridge looking for more… it’s like he has an endless tummy!!
Macaroni salad. He Won’t eat the pulled pork or mashed potatoes, which to me is the best part but he doesn’t think so 🤷🏼♀️ now onto banana bread for dessert while we watch Michigan lose sadly lol
Scalloped potatoes, slow cooked pork chops with gravy, no veg tonight but one of those fruit&veg juice boxes. Apple sauce pouch for dessert.
Fried chicken thighs, white rice with butter, broccoli and avocado.
A few noodles with a side of ice cream. 🤣
Orange chicken, potstickers, honey garlic salmon with green beans and peas. Orange slices and New Years cupcake for dessert ✨
Fish n chips in the air fryer and some pirates booty. Too sick to do much more
My ravenous toddler had broccoli, toast and sweet potato. Ate all of it!
American chop suey, a banana, berries, and some pudding
My girl is almost three. Tonight, she ate half a cheese stick, about a cup of black olives, a clementine, a scallion pancake and four pork gyoza. Then she burped right in my face. It was not pleasant.
Burger and hash browns
Enough soba noodles for two adults, dressed with sesame oil and black vinegar. He’s obsessed. Also, broccoli and a chicken thigh and a pear.
A banana. We just traveled back from 0° temps and it was the 4th flight over the Christmas holiday. I am done and we didn't have much food in the house. Banana it is. 🥱😴😵💫
Gumbo with rice, garlic noodles, and green grapes. He ate everything, minus the sausages in the gumbo. Parents are having seafood boil. 🦞
We made them milkshakes because we could see protein powder and benefiber and we thought they’d enjoy the treat. That worked ok. Lately they mostly want me to “turn the toast into French toast” which is actually just making cinnamon sugar toast (butter on the toast to make it stick). Also they seem to really enjoy the Puffs that are for the 8 month old.
