what can i cook a 2yr old who has stopped eating, with a stove and grill only

[PavlovtheCat]

we dont have a microwave.
our oven has broken, getting it replaced next week.
we are making do with grill and stove in the mean time and doing ok but I am running out of ideas.

ds aged 2.4 is fussy at the best of times, but i suspect he is teething (last 4 molars due) as he has pretty much stopped eating anything except peanut butter crumpets, cereal (rice crispies only) and porridge, sometimes. And drinking a lot of milk.

Normally he eats pasta with pretty much anything, but he does not even want pasta or his fave sausages, or his beloved home made chips. Or...ice cream , not a tiny morsel of fruit of veg is passing his lips.

So dinner has become a bit scrappy and poor DD is getting fed up with pasta as I keep trying him on that so get him to eat!

What can I cook that will entice him to eat, and also give poor dd a break from the routine food I have been cooking.

Hope things are better with DS. I forgot to add that you could make rice crispy bars with honey and chopped dried fruits such as raisins, apricots, dates. DD1 loves homemade museli bars (she usually turns her nose up at porridge).

You say he has been sick recently. After a bad vomitting bug, you can be temporarily lactose intolerant, so anything containing milk can give you tummy ache (my two littlest have had this, and me too bleurgh...).

I would ditch the milk for a few days to see if he picks up. Get some dairy free milk and dairy free spread.

Hope he feels better soon.

little how long would that last for? he had his vomitting bug about 2.5 weeks ago? it was just before end of term as I had to get him from nursery and he was sick for several days. Problem is, the only things he really wants to eat, other than peanut butter crumpets is milk based.

However, he did eat some fish today, from our fish and chips take away. I was very impressed, as he also said 'i no like it. i love it!' as his Dsis says often! he only ate a little.

I will make some musli bars, they sound easy. And DD can take some to school in her packed lunch too.

I'm no expert, but with us it hasn't lasted longer than 3 weeks, sometimes just a few days, depends how much puking has been done! Google it - gastroenteritis temporary lactose intolerance
