LOL.  We don't have times for sizes of snacks, we feed when hungry, because all too often, she isn't hungry LOL.

For the Pear Q - instead of puree why don't you just stew it? Stewed pears with some yoghurt would be really yummy.

Thanks Rina!

Breakfast - A very naughty cereal Cookie Crisp  ::) Thats the only time of having that one.  A Banana and some blueberry juice.
Snack - small biscuit
Lunch - Cooked as off to nursery this afternoon and always a battle  ::) Cucumber and Pepper sticks with humous and a muffin split in 2 to make mini pizzas. Topped with pizza sauce, pastrami, olives and parmasen cheese (ate about half and had to really get him to eat it). Cup of Orange smoothie, yogurt (strawberry, ate half)
Tea at nursery is sandwiches, cakes, custard, milk or water to drink.

LOL.  Most days I can't post, because I can't remember what she ate (very tired and busy mummy here LOL).  Will try to pay attention tomorrow.

Guys, can't remember all the food from yesterday, but made a new rissole (meatball) recipe that was delicious.  DH LOVED it, and so did Zara, she ate 3 for dinner plus veggies, and Hugh ate most of 1 too.  They have some grated veggies in also.  Let me know if you want me to post the recipe!

Hi girls,
Dominic (2 this month) has suddenly gone really fussy at mealtimes but I got some advice from my HV and today he's eaten much better:
Breakfast: cornflakes, half a slice of toast
Snack: small banana, 2 tangerines
Lunch: (not so good) ate the ham out of his sandwich, yogurt, biscuit
Dinner: Sausage, mashed potato, broccoli & carrots, small amount of apple rice pudding

He drinks loads of milk throughout the day, as well as diluted fruit juice.

Today was a great day, there is something so satisfying when your baby has a full tummy!

Please post Rin:D :D :D :D
Sounds yummy.

Today: 1/2 of mommy's oatmeal, raisins, 2 or 3 spoonfuls of cereal

At the Sitters (not sure how much of each...she just writes down for me what she served her)
Snack: orange, goldfish
Lunch: apples, celery (she never eats that for me), french fries, turkey
Snack Graham crackers, grapes

2nd Snack (we went on a play date)
blueberries, strawberries and a million teddy grahams

Dinner
3 bites of carrots, grapes, 1/2 slice of pizza, 1/2 yogurt (shocker)

Pretty good eating day, I'd say.
She ate better at the sitters and the play date.
Why is it that they tend to be better when they aren't eating at home?
I am so in love with my husband and adore my precious Grace

Rissoles - from the Womens Weekly Babies and Toddlers recipe book

500g beef mince
1 small carrot grated coarsely
1 small zucchini grated coarsely
1/2 small brown onion grated coarsely
1/2 cup stale breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon tomato sauce
2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil

TANGY SAUCE
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to moderate.  Using hands, combine mince, carrot, zucchini, onion, breadcrumbs and sauces in a large bowl.  Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into balls
Combine ingredients for tangy sauce in a small bowl.  Heat oil in large non-stick frying pan; cook rissoles, in batches, until browned all over. Transfer to meduim shallow baking dish; cover with tangy sauce.  Cook, uncovered, in moderate oven about 20 mins or until rissoles are cooked through.

I used fresh bread that I grated for the bread crumbs, and I made a double batch and froze the cooked leftovers, so that I can quickly reheat for Zara's dinner if need be since she has dropped her nap most day and needs to be in bed pretty early to compensate.

Those meatballs sound great! DD has been eating pretty good for breakfast and lunch lately and not great for dinner - although at least two nights ago she had a fair amount of homemade meatloaf and corn on the cob and some apple slices. Last night she refused fish, ate a few bites pasta and a bit of salad and then wanted cheerios.
