What did your toddler eat today?

[Mydreamcametrue]

I thought I had seen it, but then I checked online and it said only avail. in the UK.. 
Sounds really gross though, but then again it is deft. worth a try..

It does 'sound' gross, but I'm fairly sure you'll be amazed how nice it is, even my DP (the worlds fussiest eater, even compared to toddlers) really loves it and if I do a roast dinner he is gutted if he doesn't get some on his plate as well as whatever meat hes having.  2 points when cooking it, it soaks up alot of oil so you will find you use more oil than usual and if you get the plain chicken style pieces or fillets I find they need cooking until it is a little browned on edges, when like this it has most flavour.

I always oven bake the fillets, and as newmum says, it tastes better when well done.

lunch - 1 slice of toast with marmite ate about 1/2 then decided she didn't like marmite, 1 fromage frais 1/3 bag organix cheese tomato & herb puffs ( I actually think she would easily eat a whole bag of these, that and wotsits she loves them) blackberry & apple tropicana go
snack - few raisins to keep going till dinner
dinner - 2 mini fish fingers (gave these with breadcrumbs still on for first time and cut them up into little bites, I think she would of eaten 3 or 4 of them the speed they dissapeared) sweet potato, cauliflower, baby corn & broccoli ( have decided she doesn't mind broccoli at all but it goes in easier mixed in with something like pasta & sauce, when presented with it on a plate of veggies she wont pick it up and eat it herself), strawberry jelly with peach pieces ( this was a bought pot we tried for first time, she seemed to like the jelly but started spitting it out when we got down to the peaches), 1/2 banana more tropicana (she really like these and maybe I should water them down more but she likes her juice unwatered down, so I'm not that fussed)

so far today

snack - tried jelly & fruit again (definitely likes jelly), juice
lunch - cheese on toast fromage frais 2 milky buttons, juice
suck on mums fruit pastel lolly pop, mmmm she liked that!

[KathrynK]

new mum- have you tried cheerios and porridge/ ready brek for breakfast? they are healthy alternatives.

[NiknLily]

Hi Kathrink
Yes we have got some cheerios she doesn't mind them but isn't to keen so we only have them every so often.  Doesn't like porridge or readybrek at all, not even with some sugar added.  Might try her on wheatabix minis see how they go, only problem is if she doesn't like them will have to throw them out cos I dont like them, neither does DP, hate waste, but who knows she might love them.

today ended with
snack some grapes & cheese/tom/herb puffs
tiddlers tortilla (aka Spanish omlette) (only ate about 1/3) mango/banana & rice pudding (had about 4 mouthfuls, then it was Bo Bo Bo (no no no) + juice

I noticed the difference between daddy and mommy and Weston's eating this morning...as he's under daddy's care...I'm having the day off

Daddy doesn't have a million things to do while watching Weston...so he sits at the table for a LONG time with Weston while Weston is deciding what to eat, when and how...and eventually Weston eats a ton!

[KathrynK]

LOL we're the other way round- dh hasn't got the patience to wait for her!

[Grace's Mom]

Does anyone have a good guacamole recipe?  I bought some freshly made today at a farmer's market and it had avocado, tomatoes, onions, olive oil, etc. in it and I would love to make some myself since this guy's is so very expensive.  Thanks. 

Today:

Breakfast:  PB&J on Toast (very messy), some fruit
Snack: Yogurt
Lunch: Guacamole, veggie crackers, apples, 3 small bites of cold stone ice cream 
6oz of water....we were out and it was super HOT out.
Snack: I bag of travel puffs (very lazy today  )
Dinner:  Chicken and Apple puree, Mango dessert (no sugar/just called dessert)
Last night of formula for her bedtime bottle! 

Does anyone use toddler formula?

Grace will only drink a few sips of regular milk but still loves formula.  I was thinking of keeping formula just at night but using the toddler version.  Wasn't sure if anyone was doing that or had advice on if that is a good decision or not.
