My 3 yr old is asking if she can have her dinner at nursery...on a Sunday. I think its her way of telling me she prefers the food there.
I only have to make dinner for her at weekends and I'm failing to even do that properly so need some help. Part of the issue is whilst dd will eat everything at nursery she objects to lots of things at home. I've failed to persuade her to eat:
couscous
rice
any veg apart from carrots, peas, sweetcorn, cherry tomatoes, cucumber.
I've tried involving her in cooking - she happily made pizzas/fajitas then picked off/out all the veg and just ate the bread and cheese.
I've basically been feeding her salmon, pasta/pesto, sausages, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, cheese sandwiches, omelette (at a push and not with anything in it) as its the only things she'll reliably eat. (We don't cook meat at home (apart from ready made sausages)).
We seem to be out most of the day most weekends so aren't often home in time to do lots of cooking. Weekdays I'm out 12 hours a day with work so don't really fancy batch cooking at 9pm.
But I can tell dd is bored of the meals and so am I. So something must be done!
