what is your picky toddler's favorite meal?

hope everyone plays...if they do, imagine how many new ideas we can all try...i'll go first. my 19 month old twins will always eat hommus and tabouli on multigrain bread, even when they have colds and don't like anything else. looking forward to everyone else's responses!

Mine will ALWAYS eat chow mein. And usually soup.

Can't wait to see what works for everyone else.

Best,
Mia

 

Pizza. They usually always love pizza.

 

Noodles of any kind. They especially like things like penne pasta with sauce.

Watermelon is another one. They love it!

 

Mine will also always eat noodles and usaully chicken

 

Chicken Noodle Soup! My pickiest one is hooked on chocolate milk!!

 

minestrone soup
what's tabouli?

 

My girls aren't that picky, but sometimes it's hit or miss, except these things are always a hit:

PB&J
Pizza
Grilled cheese
Fish sticks
Garlicky (scampi) noodles
Mac n cheese
Creamed spinach
Roasted beets
Whole wheat bread
Challah bread

Favorite meal is hard to say. Probably pizza.

 

I dont think I every tried hummous...or chowmien...have to see..

Mine will ALWYAS eat PB and J with maderin oranges. Oh and Pizza.

They also cant live without the drinkable yogut...they just keep asking for "mores"...

 

perdue baked chicken breast tenderloins ALWAYS work for us!!....

and yo baby yogurts since they are sweet and i don't let them have it often...(i use the stonyfield plain yogurt and mix in pureed baby fruit for the most part)

 

Tortalines with cheese is a current big hit. And grilled cheese sandwich, and scrambled eggs with cheese. And cottage cheese; I think they could eat an entire container if I let them.

Even sick or tired they'll eat carrots and corn. There not picky eaters but those two are there fav. Spagetti or any pasta types always get a clean plate as well.

 

Yogurt

 

Mini-quiche (the kind that come frozen from Costco -- the brand is called Nancy's). They will eat ~10 of them at dinner (between the two of them).

Sarah also always loves mac & cheese and yogurt (not together).
Amy would eat a whole avocado if I let her.

(How funny that the responses are so different -- mine rarely eat noodles and don't seem to know what to do with soup.)

 

chicken nuggest are a big one, and their new favorite is shrimp cabobs. Only they call them "strimp"

 

Mac and cheese and pizza. Chicken nuggets also go over well most of the time.

 

Applesauce, yogurt, grapes and pb&j. Those are the things I can count on, if all else fails. As far a meal that's usually a hit... chicken tenders and noodles.

 

Hi Lynda,

I know you from KPMM...My boys love to eat anything! They love Veggie Sticks (raw celery, raw carrots etc.)

 

Favorite breakfast: scrambled eggs, french toast sticks & a banana

Favorite lunch: grilled cheese or PB&J with spagetti-o's, mandarin oranges and yogurt

Favorite dinner: chicken tenders, mac & cheese, green beans, and oatmeal raisin cookie for dessert.

They also LOVE that broccoli/rice casserole stuff when I make it.

Fruit....any fruit is always going to work!!

 

Pizza, Tacos, and chicken nuggets/french fries... These are our favorite meals any day of the week.

 

My girls are extremely picky eaters. They'd rather starve than eat something they aren't in the mood for (which is most food) and they can last through at least 3 meals! What almost always gets eaten is berries: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries are usually acceptable. They will also usually eat dry, plain biscuits or bread which is what they get offered when they refuse to eat their meal.

 

Our staple is of 'course hot dogs cut up and cheese!

 

fish sticks with ketchup and cesar salad dressing as dip!

 

When mine were that age I could count on them always eating broccoli cheese soup, American cheese and ham slices, sliced apples, peanut butter, pretzel sticks, any noodle (mac and cheese, spaghetti, lo mein). They've always been very good eaters but these are the main things that I remember were always a hit.. and still are.

 

Mine like bread or waffles with PB, noodles, yogurt, apples (actually most fruit but apples are the favorite), goldfish crackers, muffins for breakfast. Mine, at 2 yr 9 mos, are being encouraged to 'try one bite'. They need to expand their horizons!
