Oh it's already in the rotation Sara! Well sort. Twice a week (usually) we have a pasta dish - either that one or pasta primavera or pasta with spinach and sundried tomatoes or pasta with meat sauce. He will eat all of those happily (well not the spinach and the veggies have to be chopped). I even show him the cauliflower (there is a LOT of it) and he says yum but of course he won't eat it unless tiny pieces and mixed in.

Tomorrow night is blackened tilapia, homemade fries and roasted broccoli. None of which he will eat. But serving him homemade fish sticks, sweet potato fries (which he loves) and the broccoli and applesauce. Guessing he'll eat the fries and the applesauce, hoping he tries a fish stick (sometimes he deigns to).

Sara, I don't think they taste too strongly of broccoli. I really like them myself though I like the full sized broccoli patties/pancakes (same ingredients) better personally. Yum!

As always thanks Kate!

He ate some banana just now!!!!! It was close to dinner time and he was hungry and I told him I only had bananas, apples or blueberries. At first he refused all three. Mind you he used to be a fruit FANATIC until 1.5, then slowly dropped fruits down to till by 2 it was only apples and strawberries and by 2.25 NONE. He told me he would try some banana and I got one and sat on the floor with him and peeled it and held it toward him and he took a small bite! I gave him high fives and all and took a bite too. Asked him if he'd take one more and at first he said no but I said I'd fly him around the house like Superman (his favorite) if he'd try one more bite and we talked about how yummy it is. Then he took one more BIG bite, almost gagged but then finished the bite and we cheered and flew around the house as promised and talked a bit more about how yummy it was and how eating bananas helps makes you big and strong like Superman!

If only we can build on this...

Baby steps, remember even if you don't have another new food for a month you are still making progress!

I was shocked! He's said he'll try before and then I peel the banana and he never wants it. This time I went into it expecting the same and thinking (in my head) that at least we were home and i could freeze it in chunks for use in smoothies and not waste it. Then he ate it! I was surprised at the near gagging since he used to eat them like crazy, but...

Sadly nothing else new, nor any more bites of banana (or other fruit for that matter) since this last posting. Such a stubborn little man...

Did she like the pasta?

In big news tonight DS tried and liked and ate almost all of a turkey sandwich! Real roasted sliced turkey breast, no nitrates, with a bit of homemade mayo on toasted sourdough bread (just like his sister). We were shocked as he's only ever wanted to eat grilled cheese for sandwiches before!

Just wanted to share this blog I've been reading about teaching kids to eat a variety of foods:  http://www.itsnotaboutnutrition.com/top-ten/

I don't agree with 100%, but she has some interesting advice/strategies.

That's awesome Karen! Well I think like would be too big of a word.  She ate it but the next time I served it she refused.  Such is life I guess.
