Just for fun, curiosity and some inspiration!

My almost 2 year old is a pretty picky eater so feel free share any good picky eating ideas or tips too.

Today was a pretty good day. He had:

B: Cheerios x2 bowls
S: Banana & carrot porridge muffin
L: Cheese sandwich with 1 slice of bread, crisps, cucumber batons & half a banana

2yo ate:

S - Pom bear crisps and apple juice carton (we were at a play centre!)
L - Sausage, scrambled eggs and beans and a clementine
S - Oat and raisin bar
D - Spaghetti all puttanesca, corn on the cob w garlic parsley butter
S - Breastfeed before bed

B: Porridge with ground seeds, peanut butter & fruit purée, strawberries & bluebs on the side (ate all)
S: Organix flapjack bites, 1 mini scotch egg (stole from me and I didn’t want to discourage him from trying something new!)
L: Sweet potato & broccoli croquettes, omelette, grapes & cherry tomatoes (ate almost all)
S: Satsuma (ate all)
D: Sausage, homemade yorkshire pudding, mash, broccoli & carrots (ate half a sausage, half a Yorkshire and a couple spoonfuls of mash, ignored the veg), melon (all)
S: Weetabix with ground almonds offered before bed as he didn’t eat much for dinner but it was refused so must’ve just not been very hungry.

2.5yo DS, yesterday;
Breakfast - 2 weetabix with milk and honey, a banana, an apple (most of anyway) and a satsuma
Snack - rest of the apple, some cucumber and carrot sticks
Lunch - peanut butter on toast, 1.5 slices. Strawberries, blueberries, some cubed cheddar cheese, a couple of cherry tomatoes and a yoghurt
Snack - two rich tea biscuits dunked in his uncles tea (lucky uncle 😂)
Tea - a chicken and broccoli rice casserole type thing.. cheesy creamy goodness that is a sure sign that I can’t be arsed with properly cooking, served with corn on the cob and carrot, two of his absolute favourites at the moment
Supper - Cup of milk and a banana before bed

Yesterday:

Didn't want breakfast
Half a banana
A smoothie and a bit of tomato soup (which was deemed "not nice", which is the worst criticism ever at the moment)

Yesterday wasn't great.

Half a croissant.
Smoothie.
No lunch.
No PM snack.
Chicken tagine for dinner, but only a small bit of their portion.

DC doesn't eat much if they're fighting an illness, so I suspect they might be coming down with something.
