What Did Your Toddler Eat Today? Part 7

[~Sara~]

The toddler ones are circles rather than the surfboard shape, and have some flavoured stuff drizzled on them. I am sure it is mostly sugar water, but I mean... they are rice crackers. They need a bit of flavour! Although you can also get plain ones.

Ahh, okay.  So, they're pretty much the same texture-wise, just flavored.  Aaron would probably really like those--he loves to crunch through them.

Yesterday went like this:

B: Cheerios
L: garden veggie pizza
S: banana, yogurt
D: four cheese hamburger helper...it's the first time we made it with him, and he picked out all the pasta   Oh, and some green beans and applesauce.

So, they're pretty much the same texture-wise, just flavored.

Exactly the same texture, yes. Nathan holds them in both hands and nibbles away like a baby chipmunk. It is really cute! I think that he likes the sound.

[Mom to M&M]

Breakfast: Scrambled egg with cheese, toast and grapes although dh figured out quick enough that once you give the toast she won't eat the eggs

Funny cos once you give DS the egg he won't eat the toast!

What are triscuits?

We had DS weighed today and he has moved up to around the 83rd percentile!

Today
B: Marmite and butter on toast, porridge, some dry cheerios

Triscuits are a type of cracker.

S: cherries and papaya
L: cucumber, cheese, and tortellini dipped in Greek salad dressing
S: these little ju-jube things made out of fruit juice (made by Gerber Graduates)
D: homemade pizza with onions, mushrooms, orange bell pepper, and cheese with pesto for the sauce

[Mom to M&M]

So after all I posted before, DS still ate a whole piece of pizza (adult size) and some cantaloupe for dinner. Hungry boy today! Allergy testing is tomorrow. Ugh.

Made these granola bars today that I adapted from a nut free website. They came out really good - DS inhaled one! Next time I may add 1/2 cup chocolate chips - but I wanted to try first without, plus the chips I had are made in a facility with peanuts so had to go without. Yum.

½ cup AP flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
½ cup butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cups oats
¼ cup wheat germ
¼ cup flax seeds (whole, not ground)
2 cups rice krispy cereal
1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 in cake pan.

Whisk together the flours, cornstarch, cinnamon, and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large glass bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Blend in honey, vanilla and applesauce.

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Fold in the oats, wheat germ, flax seeds, rice krispies and raisins. I find that using clean, damp hands work best for this job!

Pat dough into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 min until golden brown. Cool COMPLETELY and then cut into bars. Store in airtight containers or ziplock bags.

Not sure if this is the beginning of being fussy, or teething, but these are our dinners for the last 3 nights

dinner - Wed - rice, roast beef, and broccoli (all faves) - 1 bite - finished with 3 strawberries and 1/4 grilled cheese

dinner - thurs - salmon patties (home made), potatoes, beans (usually loves these) - 1 bite each, finished with a small plum, 2 berries, and 2 bites of my dinner

dinner - Thurs - ribs with bbq sauce, salmon, potatoes, mixed veggies - a couple bites - again, gave dd a few strawberries, a plum, and 1/2 toast right before bed

We've never had this fussiness before - not grouchy with the eye teeth coming, and they've been near surfacing for > 1 month, so I'm not sure if this would affect her appetite?

Breakfast and lunches quite good.

Sorry your LO is off her food marilyn73. DS has also been teething and was not keen on things he normally loves for a few days. I think somethings are uncomfortable to chew and warm things don't feel as good as cold things on the sore areas of the gums. Plus if your LO has a runny nose like DS has had with his teething it can take away from the taste as well as making it more difficult to breathe when eating. I'm sure it will pass soon. Your food sounds delicious and I would have eaten it!

DS has lost his appetite and found a donkey's! He finished absolutely everything he was offered.
Today
B: Tropical fruit porridge, crumpet with butter and marmite, apple
L: Big chunk of duck breast, red cabbage, chips, mushroom and vanilla ice cream
D: Sausage casserole, pot of fromage frais, strawberries
