What do you keep around the house?
« on: August 20, 2006, 14:59:44 pm »
One of my late night thoughts: What foods do you always have around the house for your lo?   Part insomniac curiosity, part looking for ideas for Charlotte.  Our list: whole milk yogurt, lactose free whole milk ( :( ) , bananas, applesauce, mac and cheese fixins' and a couple of Gerber graduates that I know she likes.  Also animal crackers and lil' juice boxes. 
 When you're soaring through the air, I'll be your solid ground.  Take every chance you dare.  I'll still be there when you come back down.

I am thinking you are talking about snacks... Little individually wrapped cheeses which my little one loved to snack on, various crackers, applesauce...

Well we are always stocked with cheerios, rick cakes, crackers, and frozen waffles. We usually have bread, so I can make toast and add a bit of jam or peanut butter. We always have instant ramen, so I can easily whip that up, throw in some frozen veggies, and voila a quick meal.

We always have bananas in the house. If not any other fresh fruit, then I will go to our canned peaches, canned pineapple or applesauce.

We always have cheese, and she has never refused this. (We alway have yogurt & she used to love the stuff, but she hasn't really wanted any in recent weeks, guess she's on a yogurt strike)

I'm always stocked with some cans of Creamed Style Corn, so I can heat that up, crack an egg in, mix it real good, and she has something warm and yummy to eat.

We usually have eggs. I'll scramble one with some already cooked veggies (gotta sneak em in ya know) and maybe some cheese.

We have tons of Pizza Rolls in the freezer, but I only give them to her once in a great while. I think she's only had them twice in the past 2 months. Like frozen waffles, it's something to fall back on when I can't give her something "fresh".

When I first read your post I thought you meant as snacks for us! ;D

DD just started to eat foods other than mush and so far LOVES Cheerios. I always make sure I have fresh bananas as these are her fav.

Personally, I have to have Pop Tarts around for myself (strawberry flavour with the colourful icing) ;).

That's what I was thinking: snacks/quick meals for when I'm working.  DH is rather hopeless at cooking.  Eggs are out for another year.   :(    Of course, today she is refusing even her favorites.   (I second the poptarts!!)

Cans of spaghettios

LOL, you've just reminded me that I have several cans of Chef Boyardee type pasta/meat/sauce stuff in the pantry. Forgot about those. Was saving them as back up, but not too helpful if I forget I have them...

Oh, I'm in NZ...

But, they are processed meat (97% meat) shaped into fries (we call fries, chips  ;)) and they can be be quick fried in a couple of minutes. I often do these for lunch along with pasta and chopped up veges cooked in the same pot.

Thanks, Nikki, for explaining that to me. Hmmm.. not sure we have an equivalent in the USA.  :-\

Oh, I forgot to add that we've just started on deli meats, so I keep some on hand now. Add it to her pasta/veggies. Of course, she's a smart girl and picks out the "more desirable" ingreds first...  sigh, things were so much simpler when I could just spoon feed her.  ;D

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday - it was so much easier when DS was an infant and would eat pretty much anything I fed him. Now, it's a struggle to get textured veg and fruit in him. What happened to my easy eater?!

Cheese strings, Yoghurt, raisins, full fruit bowl every day, small tins of fruit (Always offered as a dessert, better than sweets) Baby bells, 
Now thaey were the good healthy things that I encourage.
Here are the things that DS nags for at the supermarket, usually gets and usually eats before starting on the above list.
Pepperami, doritos/dips,crisps, rice pudding(individual pots) jelly, jubblies.

I don't buy all the junk he likes, but I do let him have some, then we can compromise sometimes, although his eating is very good so I don't mind little treats.
