I am totally stuck in a rut with feeding Olivia! What are some of your kids/toddler's favorite foods? (Don't forget she doesn't like mac and cheese) I'm not looking for anything magical and super creative, just different than the usual deli meat, cheese, fruit, yogurt, waffles, etc. My friend Marci gave me the idea today of a bagel with a little cream cheese and slice of turkey on it. A great idea...and simple too! I just need something new!
Thanks!!

I hear ya. We are stuck too. I really don't have any great ideas either. AH.
Coulter loves pickles, olives -black & green- and strawberries. That would be his diet if he were in charge. We are pretty much ala carte still. Ugh.
ala carte is a great way to put it...that's what we are too!!
I'm glad you posted this because we needs ideas, too!
Here are some things Elijah has been eating:
cottage cheese
hot dogs
cheese
applesauce
bananas
avocados
lunch meat
yogurt
fish (imitation crab meat or anything else cooked and flaked)
cooked peas, carrots, broccoli
pasta and sauce
well, my kids are wierd and like salad...you could try that. =)
burgers
sloppy joes
grilled cheese
anything in a can...spagettios, etc =)
cereal and more cereal
pancakes
any kind of fruit, fresh or in a can
any veggie cooked
pizza (homeade)
I dont know, if we eat it, they eat it
So, my son is a super picky eater. And he also can go day to day with things he likes. The day before he really liked applesauce and then next day he makes a face!
So, here are things he normally will "choke" down:
Yogurt (especially banana flavored)
cottage cheese
mandarin oranges (canned)
peaches (canned)
PB sandwich (he's been eating PB since he was 1 year I know...)
american cheese slices
french fries
And when he is having a bad couple of days with eating, I supplement a meal with an instant breakfast packet mixed in milk. My doctor said it is about the same as buying the expensive "children's" what is it Pediasure?Nutritional drinks.
So, hope that helps!
My little girl turns one today!!
Thanks guys--Olivia does really well eating what we eat for dinner (for the most part anyway!) but I just feel like for bkfst and lunch she just gets the same old. Thanks for those ideas!!!
what about sloppy joe's, tuna fish salad, egg salad, chicken/broccoli/cheese casserole, quesadillas (with veggies or meat stashed inside), avocado slices (my kids LOVE 'em) or homemade guacamole with tomatoes, etc. BLT's (just cut up into small squares), homemade nachos (I sneak in all kinds of veggies this way). just email me if you want recipes. good luck.
