Cathie, can I just check what "applesauce" is? I have the idea it's boiled up apples like you put in a pie ... is this right or can I make it different as Artemis loves boiled apple more than raw! Thanks.

[speechie]

Andi- yes- cooked apples like for pie, but without sugar. Nick loves it too!

[legend_018]

typical day, chayse who just turned 3 had a small banana, 2 packages of fruities and lots of milk so far (it's noon time). WOW huh quite the appetite.

[AshleyB]

You ladies are braver than I am feeding your child beets! I know my LO would like them, but I'm afraid of the stains!

[Colin Macs Mom]

Colin is crazy for beets, it was one of his first foods actually. And we never had a problem with stains, believe it or not. If you treat it right away it comes right out.

[speechie]

wow for my 3 year especially, that would be a wonderful day "lol"

[AshleyB]

I tried a new product last night, a frozen meal for toddlers called a Puffet. It's like a cross between a quiche and a souffle. It was carrots and rice in an eggy "puff." There was no crust. My LO loved it, and it's a good quick meal because it has all the food groups. I bought it at Target. However, I think I want to try to make my own recipe because she liked it so much, and it was expensive. Anybody out there have a recipe similar to this?

[speechie]

LOL- that must have sounded funny to you! I know,my DS is a GREAT eater. May sound silly, but I worry when he's not eating his usual, even tho' it's better than what some kids take in 3 days...eyes rolling at myself!

Ashley, that sounds really yummy! Let me know if you work out a good recipe...

Nick's still not eating his usual and threw his french toast across the table at lunch (in restaurant)...a bit OT and ouch, points of eye teeth. ugh.
he had strawberries, egg, milk at breakfast. french toast and sausage at lunch. but ate poorly (for him).

[speechie]

Today Nick ate:
Breakfast: egg, shredded wheat w/milk+strawberries, milk, grapes.
Lunch: 1/4 biscuit and sausage w/cheese, milk, pear.
Dinner: fish fillet w/tartar sauce, 10 brussels sprouts, 1/3 cup applesauce, milk.

finally able to post as hunter had awful gastro for 10 days (i'm talking 20 diaper changes on the worst day ) so obviously food was a little interesting, even had to do 24hrs with no food for the poor little guy . and then we were on holidays for a week so again food was interesting, plenty of it but all a bit random good note tho, as he couldnt have milk when he was sick his bedtime bottle has since disappeared

cathie, when did you start nick on popcorn?? did you wait til he had all his molars? mind you dont know why i am waiting since hunter was eating steak before he had any teeth

so yesterday:

wake up: 5oz sippy milk (ended up moving this back to before breaky as he would only drink 1 or 2 oz with breaky)
breaky: 1 weetbix, 1 kiwi fruit, some fried egg and bacon, diluted juice
snack: cheese stick, raisins, water
lunch: avocado sandwich (got new vehicle cookie cutters which he loves, car, truck, bike, etc), 5oz sippy milk
snack: boiled egg, 3 strawberries, 6 grapes, yoghurt, water
dinner: roast beef, carrots, potatoes, peas, garlic cabbage, plus banana custard and 5oz sippy milk
