For my DS to eat.

[Freeandsinglewater]

I've just cooked a lovely and healthy meal, from scratch! And DS won't touch it. Yes, the bread is homemade.

He is 3.
The reason it's too, red.

[Sirzy]

What is in the cup?

[NarcyCow]

Put it on different plates.

Or give it to me, I'm starving and it looks lovely.

[NeedACleverNN]

That is a lot of red to me too

[SpaceDinosaur]

Bloody delicious. Put it on non red plates!

[GibbousHologram]

Is that prawns?!??

[Ginmakesitallok]

Looks OK to me. What's the bread?

[Freeandsinglewater]

Yes, it's prawn cocktail with a nice salad, and homemade bread with sun dried tomatoes in it.

Inside the cup is toasted seeds.

Well if your in the southwest....... And I do hate to see food wasted.

[ctjoy103]

You can try changing the plates. Also the portion sizes are too huge, he may be put off /not hungry if it's too much at once.

[SavoyCabbage]

It's far too big I think.

[WorraLiberty]

It looks gorgeous

But size-wise, it's the amount I would eat for dinner.

Perhaps the amount is a bit off putting for a 3 year old?

[GibbousHologram]

Would he normally eat it? I'd rip your arm off for it but only the bread would stand any chance of getting past my 3yo. And even that would be a risk as it's got bits in.

[Ifailed]

That's for a 3 yo? far, far too much.

[PirateJones]

Looks lovely.
Making my hungry, but about half the size would be about right for a 3 year old, with more if he asks.

[Freeandsinglewater]

Yes, normally he will eat like a pig. I've put it on a different and smaller plate.

Nope.

So one nice meal free to a hungry MN.

[mamapants]

I wouldn't eat that either it doesn't look appetising to me. But everyone else seems to think it looks nice

[HermioneJeanGranger]

It looks delicious, but I wouldn't expect a 3yo to eat it. Could you half the portion size and separate the food out so he can try things individually?

[ctjoy103]

Are you serious op? Is that portion size what he usually eats? Both plates? That would be lunch and dinner for me.

[Allalonenow]

Put it on a white plate, half a portion of it, call it some different name, forget about the bread and the seeds for now.

I love prawn cocktail

[BillSykesDog]

The prawn stuff looks lovely. That bread looks rank though. Wouldn't touch it myself, looks like you could hammer nails with it.

[Freeandsinglewater]

hermine he's eaten this meal before.

Now he's told me he's not hungry.
I give up, he's been a little shit all day, by NOT listening. It took 3 hours to put his toys away this morning, and generally being jerk/ass.

It's too early for ?

[MinecraftyMum]

Since when has defrosting prawns and chopping up a lettuce been 'cooking'?

[TakesTwoToTango]

Uh oh! My ds will also often eat large portions of allowed, but if he ever totally refused to eat, we know the vomiting will commence within a few hours...

[Ginmakesitallok]

Minecrafty - saying what others are thinking but too polite to say. (Op- you need a decent bread recipe)

[Iggi999]

Well my toddler is currently eating crisps for tea as I couldn't take the crying anymore so I cannot in all conscience advise.

[GibbousHologram]

Mine are refusing to eat anything but the plain rice on their plates. Ah well, at least it's brown rice.
