What did your toddler eat today? Part Two!

[RyansMum]

Ryan and I both have colds so he has had more treats and snacks as he hasn't wanted to eat a big meal. Today wasn't too bad though.

Breakfast - Scambled eggs and toast with milk. Ate all the eggs and half the toast. Bite of DH's Strawberry jam on toast and a cheese string!
Lunch - DH being a bit adventuous but Ryan not really playing! Panini with mozzerella, tomato, advacado, and bacon. Ate all the bacon, half the bread, most of the cheese, tried the advacado but did not like it, did not touch the tomatoes! He is like me as a child, loves sauce or soup that is tomato based just not the actual fruit! Watered down cranberry juice.
Dinner - Filled fresh pasta with bolongase and spinich and ricotta with tomato sauce and pesto covered gnocci (sp). Ate half the pasta and sauce, tried the gnocci but not keen. Strawberry and rubarb smoothie. Cherry raisins for pudding.

Sharon - I love pasta with tomato-based sauces/etc, but you couldn't pay me to eat a tomato

Yesterday:

Breakfast: 1 1/2 Weetabix with ground flax seeds/rice milk, banana smoothie
Lunch: scrambled eggs with cheese and spinach, baked beans, bread and butter, raspberry soy yoghurt
Snack: chocolate raisins
Dinner: an obscene amount of homemade lasagne, which he had helped to make . Ate too much to have anything else.

Wow!

Will have to try my mum's on Oscar next time we go back to the Emerald Isle!
Our St. Paddy's Day was atypical!
Cheerios and mik (by choice)
Bread sticks and squeezy fruit pack
Spag bol, humzinger (hooray from trip to UK) and fromage frais
peanut butter sandwiches on wholemeal, milk and another humzinger
more milk going to bed...

so not a very green day nor very Irish! But anyway, a good day eating-wise so I'm not complaining! lol

Big hugs for all the Irish Paddys out there!

Good job peeling the grapes.

[Caroline-Charlies Mummy]

I keep meaning to ask - what's Ranch Dressing?


Today:

Breakfast: Weetabix with ground flax seeds and rice milk (original ), mango and passion fruit smoothie
Lunch 1: red salmon mixed with finely chopped red pepper sandwiches
Lunch 2 (down to pure gluttony ) toasted ham and sweetcorn pannini, ate about half
Snack: chocolate buttons
Dinner: slice of ham, baked beans, scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese
Snack (b/c he was STILL hungry ): toasted teacake with butter (raisin bun)


Hollow legs today b/c we've been to the zoo, he's done a lot of walking, and they've got a great playground there

[Caroline-Charlies Mummy]

holy!

I know! Life would be much easier if he did that every day

ranch dressing is a salad dressing, creamy one.  Lots of people use it to dip all sorts of stuff into besides on salad

thanks, always wondered, hear it a lot

[shivi]

Yes...I love humzingers....very handy fruit snack but unfortunately unavailable in this country....always the frst ting I ask for, along with Weetabix, when anyone travels to UK or Ireland!

sorry for late reply! Hadn't a second all day, with Easter Bonnet Parade in the snow!!!

Hi girls,
not sure if it's coincidence or not but since the hv gave me advice on Dom's eating (he got really fussy overnight) he's been eating great. I'm also making a real effort to get more fruit and veg into as I know most days he wasn't getting anywhere near 5 portions...
So today:
Breakfast - peanut butter on toast, bit of my porridge with honey and dried fruit in
snack - grapes and an orange
lunch - dairylea & ham sandwich
snack - biscuit
dinner - chicken (minute amount, he's not very good with meat) in a white wine and cream sauce, mashed potatoes, sprouts, carrots & swede. Yogurt & fruited malt loaf for pudding. 


I want to start cooking different things for him tho, I feel like we are really in a rut. When I get a minute I'm going to get some new ideas

Caroline, you can get Ranch dressing over here but it is no where near as good as the stuff from the states. DH always makes a beeline for it in Mum and Dads fridge when we visit 

Ryan had an ok day today but stil has this cold.

Breakfast - peanut butter toast, and milk, ate half.
Snack - Biscuit at messy play group and juice
Lunch - Ham, mayo and salad sandwich, ate all ham left most of the rest, 2 cheese strings, strawberry and rubarb smoothie, olives. Half a pot of custard.
Snack - banana and organic biccies, some juice
Dinner - Potato wedges, fish fingers and beans. Ate most of this, had a little treat, mini eggs. Water to drink.

[Grace's Mom]

Mmmmmm, Ranch.
Grace's favorite thing ever.
She dips everything in it and it's the only way we can get her to eat somethings.
I love ranch but now that she eats it so much kind of am starting to get grossed out by the smell.

So far....
Breakfast, cantelope, cereal
Lunch: bagel w/ Creamcheese (DH)
Snack: (about to get her up for this)..applesauce, cheese

[shivi]

We can get dried fruit here no probs but not in the foil-packed multicoloured style of a humzinger!

My friend's DS who is now nearly 3 refuses al other varieties from UK, even those in brightly coloured packages, if they are not a humzinger!!! Oscar went through a phase of calling everything packaged "choccie" but is not as naive now...but still loves these as a treat!  LOL!

Wow, thanks for the ranch dressing recipe, sounds really unusual. This is my favourite salad dressing, goes really well on gutsy things like tomatoes, melons and goat's cheese (my fave salad )

3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
pinch caster sugar
salt and pepper (freshly ground)

[Mom to M&M]

DH and I make what we call pepper salad - so good. After making your tossed salad and throwing in croutons if desired, you pour in a little olive oil, a fair amount of red wine vinegar, a handful of seasoned breadcrumbs, some garlic powder, some salt and some pepper and mix/toss it all around. SO good (sorry I don't tend to measure much of anything)!
