I always make food from scratch as I used to follow Slimming World. I am back into the normal healthy lifestyle now but introducing healthy oils into my diet.
I always (well 90% of the time) cook from scratch, such as spaghetti bolognese, casseroles, shepherds pie, curries etc. However my DS2 is so incredibly fussy! I've always introduced home cooked foods to him and vegetables and fruits but he is fussy over majority of them. I have tried and tried to give it to him but he still refuses it. I felt bad for letting him feel like he is starving so I chucked in some chicken goujons in the oven, mashed a whole cooked potato and added some spaghetti hoops, which he ate all of.
I don't want to keep feeding him convenient foods. I don't mind every now and again as I like to just go and get a frozen meal after a long shitty day at work but this is ridiculous. I did homemade chicken bites with homemade chips the other day, which was delicious but he took one bite of it and spat it out over the floor!
What do I do? I am thinking of getting tinned fruit in juice as he tends to eat that rather than fresh fruit! Better than nothing right? I don't know what else to do. I gave him a bit of homemade curry which he ate! Surprised me that did. But if I give him, say a lamb burger from the freezer, I will do some homemade chips rather than frozen chips but he just spits it out...! I always season it, I add a bit of ketchup to it which he loves but nope, having none of it!
