the lovely jenny from the blog "the southern institute for domestic arts & crafts" invited me to pop on over to join in for her "meals kids love" series going on this month. pop on over there and see my post for a recipe for one of our fave lunches - toasted tuna for two. you'll also find out a secret i've been keeping, and here me go on a rant about my frusterations about feeding & cooking for a picky eater.
there will be yummy pics, some smiles, some funny faces and of course.....toasted tuna.
so come say hi to me over on the southern institute for domestic arts and crafts and let's chat about keeping those darn picky eaters fed. it's driving me bonkers lately :P
tuna is one of my go to food too. the kids love it. my three year old just added carrots and celery to his diet... i almost did cartwheels!! my trick was the CRUNCH factor... hey buddy, listen to this CRRRUNCH goes the celery and carrots (he won't eat them cooked)... lots of chewing with mouth open and crunching - i know it's rude but, hey it worked!!
ReplyDeleteWe would be so poor from eating out if it wasn't for tuna! My 3 year old loves it!!!!! One of her favorites is when it's mixed into mac and cheese with some tomatoes. Gotta admit, it's pretty yummy =)
ReplyDeleteSue - Great tip! I'm gonna try that one out!
ReplyDeleteeLBie - MMmmmmm,,,,yummy! that does sound good! Thanks!
I don't have picky eaters, but something that makes Noelle super excited about her sandwiches is when I cut them up into letter and number shapes (of course she eats the cutouts too). You might foray into the land of different sandwich fillings that way. Investing in a bag of dried cranberries, cherries or chocolate chips (a little chocolate never hurt anyone, right?) to put faces or shapes on virtually everything also might help.
