What is a typical day for them? What will they already eat?

[slightlyconfused85]

My toddler likes stews and casseroles with rice, fish with pasta and a veg, spag Bol although prefers this with turkey mince as not keen on beef, noodles with chicken, veg and a splash of soy sauce and honey. For lighter bites she likes scrambled egg on toast with tomato, sandwiches with various fillings particularly salami Atm...

We often do lunch of Sliced pittas/ hummus/ Ham/ cheese/ cherry toms/ cucumber sticks, sometimes with slices of pizza for a treat or play date. Would that work?

Lunch
Usually some sort of sandwich/toasted sandwich, ham and cheese mainly
Hummus and breadsticks/carrot/cucumber/olives, cubed cheese, mozzarella balls

Dinner
Pasta bolognese, macaroni cheese, dhal with rice, tofu stir fry with noodles, sausage casserole, homemade lamb kofte or mini burgers, scrambled egg, omelette, fish fingers and beans

I did the lemongrass chicken from gwineth paltrow detox plan to my children today and they loved it (i added plain rice for them) (check her website goop for the recipe)
Planning to do her halibut recipe tomorrow!

I have three children: DC1 eats everything, DC2 is a bit fussy and superslow, DC3 doesnt like veg or fruits.
I cant do much about DC2 being superslow (unless someone has advice?). for DC3 I tell him if he eats the carots then he will hop like a bunny, if he eats lentils he will be super strong like daddy etc... Or open the airport the plane is coming.....

I always try to have fun with food, they help cook a bit and that helps too, they want to try the thing they did (even if they didnt do much!)

My DD(2) is pescatarian. She's not too fussy, just not keen on anything green
Today she had weetabix and banana for breakfast, scrambled egg on toast for lunch then hunters 'chicken' with rice followed by a fruit pit and yogurt.
She also like pasta, pesto and peas. Fish pue, spag Bol, veg stew. Lentil hotspot is good too
