What did your toddler eat today? Part 5

[mumofalice]

Frying times of 12-2pm??? What about if you want fish later on? I think you may have found a very strange chippy indeed!!!

Dinner refusal - yes I did think that maybe it was time to drop the afternoon snack, but when she's in child care I don't think it's really possible as it wouldn't be fair when all the other kids are eating to say no to her - or maybe it would  Also, on the days she's at home she asks for a snack as soon as she wakes from nap so am thinking she must be hungry . . . will see how we go as she did eat well last night - think it just depends on if she fancies what's put in front of her 

Ashley - Chandler really does make me laugh. Love the fact that she refused her dinner because it wasn't souffle or chocolate - maybe that was the problem with Alice too, but she just didn't tell me 

Monday:
B: THREE bowls of rice crispies - can't decide if it was because she was hungry or just the fact they're her new fave thing!! Innocent fruit smoothie
S: Toddler group: refused grapes, but had the biscuit, juice
L: baked beans on toast, water
S: (at Grandma's) organix cereal bar, juice
D: maybe one bite of parsnip & butterbean risotto cakes, asked for fruit - ate a banana and and orange, warm milk

Tuesday:
B: slice of toast - half with marmite, half with honey, kiwi, OJ

At CM:
S: Biscuit, milk
L: pasta bolognese, yoghurt, water
S: raisins, water
S: chocolate bun, milk

At home:
D: parsnip & chickpea curry with pilau rice (left a few bits of parsnip), yoghurt, small pot of fruit in juice (pears & peaches), hot choc with a few marshmallows, shared a gingerbread man with me

Bernie - they fried up all the fish during frying times so if you wanted it later you had to eat soggy fish from the bain marie - ugh! It wasn't my local one, can't remember exactly where it was but up north somewhere - glad to hear it wasn't normal!

Today Ds2 and I tried t omake muffins - was a mixed succes because he wanted to take charge!

B: boiled egg and toast, apple slices, MSPI milk
MT: fruit puree pot
L: leftover middle eastern beef and rice, pineapple and apple muffin, MSPI milk
AT: another muffin, whole grain "crisps"
D: pasta bows with tomato & chicken, apple slices, MSPI milk

Chandler was hungry when I picked her up from daycare yesterday because all they had for snack was mandarin oranges, so we stopped by one of my favorite pastry shops on the way home. We had homemade chocolate creme sandwich cookies and milk. We were both very happy with our special treat. Chandler would take a bite and say to herself, "delicious," then take another bite and say, "yummy,yummy, yummy," then repeat.

For dinner, she had: spaghetti and meatballs, foccacia dipped in olive oil, strawberries

[mumofalice]

I think I would have been responding in the same way as Chandler to your treat  Yummy and delicious indeed!

Lan - ugh indeed to soggy fish! . . . still when you've had a skinful of beer then anything tastes good 

Today:
B: 2 bowls of rice crispies (addicted or what?  ), OJ
S: fruit toast, half a small bottle of innocent smoothie
L: (at Great Gran's) scrambled egg, bit of toast, bit of salami, other half of smoothie
S: yoghurt coated raisins, half an iced bun/cupcake (my friend's DD picked them out for our playdate!), water
D: chickpea & parsnip curry with pilau rice (again - bad Mummy!), same success as yesterday ie ate all rice and chickpeas, ate a couple of bites of parsnip - but as I'm convinced she really doesn't like parsnip then she's doing well. Home made rice pudding, hot choc with few marshmallows and organix gingerbread man

B - porridge and honey, humzinger bar, water
S - oatcake, water
L - lots of swedish meatballs and peas, 3 chips, half a yoghurt, watered down apple juice

Ashley - that is so cute! And the cookies DO sound delicious!

Bernie - have to admit I am not a fan of parsnips, the only way I can eat them is in a mash with potato, pumpkin and/or sweet potato  -worth a try?

DS2 was at childcare today and DH picked him up so no idea what he ate in the day!

[AshleyB]

Chandler has pretty much stopped drinking more than a couple of ounces of milk a day and has been turning her nose up at proteins. So, we've started giving her an Odwalla chocolate protein soymilk "shake" in the afternoon instead of her juice. Does anyone think that is a bad idea--to serve grownup drinks to toddlers?

[mumofalice]

Not sure about the 'grown-up' shake Ashley - TBH I'm not sure about a lot of things  I don't know when toddlers become old enough to have certain things at all . . . not much help I know - am sure someone else will have a better idea than me.

Lan - I do mash parsnip in with carrot / potato / etc (root veg mash  ) and A does tend to eat it like that and when I make parsnip crisps too  - think she just doesn't like roast parsnip or when it's served 'big'. I'm just a cruel Mummy tho and serve her whatever we're having . . . and as you know DH and I eat pretty much everything and anything!

The rice crispie addiction continues . . .

Yesterday:
B: rice crispies, bit of mango, OJ

At CM:
S: raisins, water
L: spaghetti hoops on toast, yoghurt, water

D: shared starters and main courses with DH and I which included bits of the following: black pudding, scallops, mash, deep fried brie with cranberry sauce, bread, pork, salmon, risotto rice, mixed vegetables (mini corn cobs, green beans, carrots), water with ice cubes - another favourite thing as she likes to crunch them!

Here's the weekend food intake - not particularly healthy or well-balanced as I had to work at an NCT Nearly-New Sale on Saturday (and DH took an extra shift) so A had to come to with me - and yesterday we had a day at the Races so we did a bit of grazing!

Sat:
B: porridge with dried apples and raisins, OJ
S: humzinger bar, home-made carrot & pineapple muffin (bought at sale - not made by me!)
D: cheese cubes, chunks of salami, black olives, pimento stuffed green olives, few organix corn snacks
S: few more organix corn snacks
D: SC chicken & leek with rice, yoghurt, hot choc & organix gingerbread man

Sun:
B: poached egg and toast, OJ
S: yoghurt coated fruit flakes
D: cheese cubes, chunks of salami, black olives, pimento stuffed green olives, oatcake, bites of cornish pasty and cheese/potato/onion pasty, few chips in gravy, bit of malt loaf,
S: ice cream
D: few bites of pizza (vegetable one and pepperoni one), hot choc and 3 mini malted milk biscuits

There seems to be a distinct lack of fresh fruit this weekend - despite the fact I've carried it around with me . . . maybe the love affair is over
