very deflating... another homecooked meal turned down by ds! :(

[lunarx]

i think he's content to live on peas!! chicken & apple mini balls were turned down promptly... doesnt give me much hope for dinner time!!

What are chicken and apple mini balls??

sounds foul

chicken and apple balls v popular in this house

or did you mean sounds fowl, Twigs?

they're an annabel karmel recipe i got out of a baby magazine...

its basically grated carrot, apple, onion, breadcrumbs, chicken and spices blended in food processor and cooked in oil (i precook the chicken to so i only lightly fry them)

they taste really good. and not foul at all. :p
(but to each their own!)

can i have them? sounds delish

ds v picky at the moment

'open a tin then at least they're rejecting Mr Heinz, not you' (Katharine Whitehorn)

if you email me, i'll pass on the recipe:) ([email protected]) :)

They sound nice and nutritious.

they are!! i had to stop myself from eating them!!!!

oh FFS .. my brain has totally closed down

yes yes I meant fowl .. of course I meant fowl .. foul just isn't funny .. but fowl .. well its totally punny

am mortified

Oh I like the sound of those too. Would you mind if I emailed you to lunarx?

ahhh no worries, twiglett, i'm slow on the uptake most days ;) (and miss the puns too;))

please do chicagomum:)

Oh F it give him those vile skinless sausages - are the only thing DS eats those and alphabites and peas for tea most night will chew and regurgitate the odd fish finger but I look on him as a work in progress and don;t let it get me down!!

ds wont touch sausages!! only thing to do is to keep trying :)

I am constantly trying to cook home made food and my 17 mnth DD wont eat it!! It's driving me crazy as she only wants jars now!

Any idea how to get them off the jars?

I might start a new thread on this.

lunarx, total sympathy. ds used to eat all my lovely home-cooked food until approx age 2 (now 2.5) and it is frustrating. I try not to worry because I know that there are worse eaters (he'll always have breakfast cereal, and he likes pasta, baked beans, spaghetti hoops and peas, and will tolerate say a home-cooked burger mixed subtly in with one of the above) but all the same... bit gutting isn't it?

I console myself my thinking that I used to be a fussy child and now eat almost anything.
