My toddler does not eat much. At all. Which seems to be normal for her age. She's 18 months. But I've gotten lazy. I usually make her tator tots, fish sticks, and peaches for dinner. Not the best meal ever. We offer her a tiny portion of what were eating but she usually throws it on the floor. Then she only eats 2 tots and maybe one fish stick. Barely Anything! When she was 4 months old the doctor said she could have Stage One baby food. I was so excited! What could I make her? What would be her favorite? I couldn't wait to make homemade baby food.
I made pureed squash, roasted sweet potatoes, mashed up avocado, and pears. Then I would freeze little servings into an ice cube tray. That way I could thaw out just 1 or 2 cubes at a time for her. She loved it! Then once she started eating Stage 2 I felt like I couldn't keep up with all the varieties I would see at the store. Then I caved in one day and bought her Gerber Macaroni and it was all downhill from there! Just Kidding, well sort of. Cheese is her favorite food. She loves cheddar cheese, string cheese, macaroni, and cheetos. Of course! What kid doesn't.
So, I'm on a mission to get her to try new foods and LIKE them. I want her to enjoy eating fruits and veggies.
These little eggplant pizzas look good...
If anyone knows of a kid friendly recipe site, send it my way!
