Thanks for the photo Bernie, they look a bit like the "musk sticks" we used to get as a kid. Obviously I am not the only one confusiong them with turkey twizzlers!

Today" boiled egg, toast, MSPI "milk"
Snack: banana. Ate some dry rice and a kidney bean he found on the floor - luckily spat the kidney bean out!
Lunch: turkey and avocado sandwich (he pulled the turkey out and ate that, left the bread and avocado!) apple slices

i too need to jump back on this thread as im struggling for lunch ideas as D will not eat sandwiches/bread that well.i mean she eats a little but not enough to fill her so curious to see some lunch ideas.

Also we have a huge snacking problem..she is asking for food all the time,and by 4pm is screaming for her dinner.im then looking thru the cupboard trying to find snacks that wont affect her dinner.
Anybody else's lo's wanting snacks so close to dinner?

Today was:
B-porridge with blueberries
S-breadsticks and raisins
L-cheesespread and ham tortilla wrap,(actually went down really well!),yoghurt
S-fairy cake (we had just made them)
S-4pm(screaming for dinner!)cheesey crackers,satsuma
D-chicken,pot wedges,roasted veg,rice pudding

[squeakersmum]

B - readybrek, strawberries
S - humzinger, few left over 'american' snacks
L - chicken, onion and apple 'sausage', cheese, bit of bread and marge, 1/2 an apple, um - and something else but I can't remember what!
S - mini chocolate chip cake made by his aunty
D - vegetable risotto, sponge and custard, few strawberries

.....I've only just noticed how much cake he ate today!!

Lucy, will she take a drink instead of food? It would fill her up just a bit until dinner. Milk or a small yogurt smoothie, especially.

We had another weird food day; he refused half of what I offered him and didn't drain his bottles. He was also a Senior Fussypants. Ahhhh... wheh do they have all their teeth, again? He is getting his first molars now.

B: a few chunks of banana, a few of my multigrain Cheerios, a few raisins, and an entire fresh apricot (he loves it)
S: refused snack of arrowroot
L: a few bites of quasedilla (cheese and turkey) but refused most of it
S: frozen blueberries for the first time, which he *loved* (and tried to feed me half of!)
D: a *huge* portion of pork stew with lots of veggies in it (I ground it up in his food mill, to make it easier for him to eat with his sore gums), plus half a slice of whole wheat bread with butter (in chunks, and dipped in the stew broth from my bowl), plus extra chunks of the soft veggies from DH's bowl... wow! He ate a lot there.

If he refuses food, I don't usually offer something else. I figure at this age he is refusing because he isn't hungry or (like today) because his mouth is too sore to eat. What do you ladies do?

[Mom to M&M]

Mmmmm cake...

Today was:

B: oatmeal with applesauce, some dry cheerios
L: two salmon stix with cauliflower and chick peas, blueberries x15
S: goldfish crackers
D: meatball with hidden spinach, cantaloupe, animal crackers (ran out of whole wheat fusili and he wasn't impressed with the linguine replacement)

Berni - think I'm going to make that cauliflower/anchovy pasta later this week!

What is a humzinger?

[Yazzie]

Adam turns 1 in about 10 days, so marking my spots, as realllllly need some ideas

[~*Nicole*~]

 Thanks for the welcome back!!

Today:

B-vanilla yogurt with blueberries and Special K cereal (dried strawberries and some plain flakes, bran perhaps?) mixed together. Ate some blueberries out but was otherwise unimpressed. I, on the other hand, enjoyed my bowl of the same --also had diluted juice
S-at my mom's, not sure
L-some fish but not sure what else or how well she ate
S-cheese crackers
D-ham and cheese slices rolled up, broccoli and some milk. DH fed her as I was cooking our delayed stuffed peppers (which she likes but I was behind and it was too late for her to have them) and he says she ate alright...but not great.--had some milk

Lucy-Ava doesn't eat "sandwiches" well. pulls them apart and eats bits of the inside but not much. She does a bit better with peanut butter and jelly, but I am with you there.

I'm adapting this recipe to try tonight: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/chicken-and-pineapple-skewers-recipe/index.html

Not doing skewers, subbed in boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into chunks) instead of thighs. Have the chicken marinating in the sauce since this morning and will bake it in the oven (thinking 375 for about 30 minutes), adding in the pineapple and some green pepper strips for the last 10 minutes or so. And then serve over brown rice.

If it comes out good I plan to make some also for guests on Saturday! Hopefully the kiddos eat it as I don't have much else planned for them. Though DS doesn't do rice so maybe I'll make him some sweet potato "fries". Have all the stuff to make that cauliflower penne - plan to try that tomorrow night (though with fusili since DS really prefers it).

[Khalam's Mama]

Amy if you look back several pages I asked what the humzinger bar was and did get an answer but can't remember exactly what it was!

yesterday:
B: porridge with CM (lots). Refused blueberries (usually a fav)
S: 1/2 Cheese omlette
L: Jersey royal buttered potatoes, mozerella, tomato (out)
S: Cheerios
D: Lasagne and garlic bread
S: wholewheat rusk in milk (as didn't eat much at lunch or dinner)

Today - didn't eat well in the evening maybe because it is very hot here - drank lots of water
B: Few spoons porridge with apple sauce made with CM
L: Lasagne - lots
S: 1/4 turkey ham sandwich at playgroup and loads of water
D:  grapes, humous, pitta, mince/tomato/veg mix left over from lasagne making yesterday
S: Apple and blueberry semolina cereal with CM (as ate very little dinner). Few sips of warm CM from sippy cup (as nearly 1!)


Amy - I have been offering something else to eat when DS doesn't eat well but not straight away so he gets into refusing in the hope of something better. e.g. when he ate poorly at dinner at 5pm i offered a supper at 7pm which i don't normally. I also find he will eat more BM if he doesn't eat solids well but my DS is still under 1 (just).

[teilvnav]

Thanks, I will go and look for that. I am curious. And good for you for still nursing!!!!! I had to qut at 8 months with Nathan because his biting finally drew serious blood. I was heartbroken; I wanted to go until he was at least 1 year old.


Today has been a much better day than yesterday. I actually got more food into him than normal, because he was so distracted/fascinated by the guys working on our house outside that he just kept chewing on whatever I slipped into his open mouth!

B: half a slice of whole wheat toast with butter, peanut butter, and blueberry jam, and an entire fresh apricot
S: the other half of his toast with the same toppings, a few cubes of cheese
L: the rest of his quesadilla from yesterday (cheese and turkey inside), raisins, cherry tomato
S: a handful of dehydrated fruit (banana and strawberry), one organic toddler biscuit (Maple flavour)
D: assorted steamed veggies, wagon wheel pasta with hummus on it
