I'm reading this with awe actually blathers because dd1 is soooo fussy and frankly i get sick of making things that just get thrown away. Because finances are tight I get cautious if trying more adventurous stuff because i'd hate to waste the food/money.
Dh doesnt help because he wont eat veg and so im always trying to cook around him too. I'd like to do stirfries but i know he'd never consider eating them.
I did baby led weaning and she ate anything and everything. But at 2 she learned the phrase " i no like this" and stopped nigh on everything. She wont eat any veg. None. At. All.
She'll eat potato, chicken nuggets but not chicken, pasta but not mince(she scrapes spaghetti off calling it dirt), plain rice and the inside of a sausage but not the skin. Anything crisp she'll reject thinking its crusts. She'll eat pastry if i tell her its "pie biscuits". She shocked me by liking chorizo raw never cooked. For two years shes eaten ham sandwich, cheese pieces and fruit puree/yoghurt.
Only recently has she started eating pear taking her fruit repetoire to apple, banana, pear and strawberries. I give her vitamins each morning.
What will yours eat that she might attempt? This week shes been invited for tea. After much deliberation her friends mum offered nuggets waffles and spaghetti hoops. She now worries she doesnt like hoops. I never ever react as i dont want food issues but it really really wears me down. Everything is rejected. Roast dinners, shepherds pie, pizza is picked at, chips are whinged at, sauce of any kind is poison.
