Today my toddler ate

[meepmoop]

Hi everyone,

Awhile ago there was a thread going where we wrote what our toddlers had eaten each day and it was great seeing how/what others were eating. It was really helpful.

I just wondered if anyone fancied starting it up again.

DS 22m
Breakfast - 1 1/2 pancakes made from banana egg and oats. 4 chunks of melon
Snack - 2/3rds of a satsuma
Lunch - pork loin steak, carrots, parsnips, peas. 3 bites of boiled potato with butter
Snack - was on a playdate so some scrambled egg as we arrived while they were eating lunch. 2 strawberries 2x crackers and couple pieces of pineapple.
Tea - couple chunks of chicken, slice of pepper and probably half a mouthful of egg noodles. 4 chunks of melon.

Yesterday

Breakfast; toast & Apple
Snack; banana & oat bar
Lunch; quiche & cherry tomatoes
Dinner; chicken & chorizo pasta (didn't eat the chorizo)

Mine had:

A full English with extra sausages
A ham and mushroom pie
A pepperoni pizza

Snacks - sharing bag of Walkers sensations Thai chilli crisps with mayonnaise, half a box of Mr Kipling French Fancies, and a lamb kebab with extra garlic sauce.

The fact we are approaching the longest day without signs of any heatwave atm is a huge relief to me
Please please 🙏 can we have a cooler one this year
Winter was so mild Here it didn't even make up for last summers hell

Ah crap
Posted on the wrong thread

2yo

Soft poached egg and smoked trout on a mini toasted poppy seed bagel
Slice of proscuitto and a chunk of melon
Hummus beiruti with wholegrain pretzel sticks and baby carrots
Frozen yoghurt dipped banana slices

Tonight he will have a half falafel pita with tahini, baked aubergine, a very very mild zhoug paste and israeli salad. He will probably have a few bites of babka afterwards

Breakfast - 2 crumpets, strawberries, raspberries

Snack - satsuma

Lunch - jacket potato, cheese, ham, pepper and cucumber sticks. - ate half

Snack - handful of cheese savouries, Jaffa cake, rich tea biscuit

Tea - chicken, roast potatoes, carrots, peas and broccoli. Ate the potatoes, some of the chicken all the carrots. Ignored the broccoli and threw the peas

B - 2 eggs scrambled and 1/4 tin of beans, slice of watermelon.
L - 3/4’s a jam sandwich, a bite of radish, half a banana.
T - quorn sausage, tomato risotto, two petit filou, an orange.

We came home from holiday today so a bit messed up:

B: 1 buttermilk pancake & syrup, apple slices, blackberries & strawberries

S: Homemade fruit ice by the pool, handful of dates

L: flatbread & hummus, a falafel, halloumi slices

S: small bowl of strawberries with yoghurt and honey; a few mini crackers

D: full Ikea bowl of leftover bolognese mixed with rice and yoghurt; kids chocolate pudding dessert

DS is 2.2, generally good eater who loves fruit but veggies are a challenge!

My very fussy toddler has eaten...
1.5 weetabix with whole milk,
Snack, small box of raisins.
Lunch ( out today for lunch, wouldn't usually be) chunky chips, tiniest bite of cod, garden peas with carrot sticks.
Snack, apple rice cake.
Tea, crumpet with jam, few quavers, cucumber sticks, few slices of cheese.
Supper, whole milk and chocolate chip cookie.
I worry he doesn't eat enough!

Apologies for this slightly off topic post... and when they reach 17 years-old as in the case of my DS you'll be locking the kitchen door (when we go to bed) to stop them stripping the fridge like a locust.

But I so worried about what he didn't eat or drink when he was little and now I'm worrying about what he's not eating, which isn't very much. If it doesn't move it gets eaten! I admit it's not all healthy and it seems to be what the quickest and easiest to consume. This is laziness, not unhealthiness, at play!

1.5 Weetabix with banana and raisins

@meepmoop jealous of the party snacks.. my ideal dinner tbh

And thank you @Linus33 for your post. I definitely see a ravenous Dust bin 6 ft 2 teenager in DS' future but also can't stop myself from worrying that he doesn't eat enough green stuff!

Half of my empire biscuit. Raisins.
