Any suggestions on what I can prepare for Noah's lunches?
I have the option of giving him the graduates, but of course he's finding that boring at this point. He eats anything we give him, except ice cream...strange but true. What can I prepare ahead of time and send with him to the nanny's house? Or what ingredients do you recommend that I stock her fridge/pantry with? I really need some help here! |

Giving away FREE crotch extenders -- do I have any takers??

Lauryn is the pickiest eater on the planet! She will eat grilled cheese (uncrustables if I don't have time to make them), mac n cheese (you can get this ready made too if needed), sometimes she will eat lunch meat, peanut butter n crackers, grapes, apples, or strawberries.

If Ty says it's big, then trust him - it's BIG!

Ty is picky too. He rarely will eat meat, if he does it must be covered in ketchup. We do a lot of cheese, crackers, fruits of all kinds, raw green beans, tomatoes. Of coarse I should mention he is a grazer. No time to sit and actually eat a meal with him.

Because I said so, that's why!

My nephew doesn't much care for ice cream either - odd children.
I find it so bizarre you even need to send table food to the Nanny's house. You would think she would just feed him along with her own kid and herself. Oh well. Fruit - bananas are fast food you know. LOL Cut up grapes. Lunch meat in bite sized pieces. Mac-n-cheese. Hot dogs - can even just serve them cold - assuming you have the pre-cooked variety. Liriel liked frozen corn and peas at that age. She even liked them still frozen. Though she has started showing a preference for them heated up now. Frozen peas actually taste like fresh from the garden peas IMO - kind of a good snack on a hot day too. Does he like avocados or sweet potatoes - if you prep those ahead of time into diced chunks - he could eat those. Cheese. I tend to buy the pre-packaged individual servings of cheese, because it is quick and easy and is more likely to actually be eaten before turning green, thus cheaper as there is less waste. Also fruit in a cup and single servings of applesauce. What about ravioli in a can? Sliced peaches. |

Anyway, he LOVES bananas, so that's covered. Still trying to get him to use utensils, so it kind of limits some of the choices... |

I boycott poopy diapers!

Lately I've been trying different soups with Carson. He loves ministrony (sp?) soup and that's filled with protein from the beans & veggies. Campbells large pasta w/ chicken, Spaghetti O's w/ meat balls and their mini Ravioli's. He also loves chicken nuggets, PB & J, french fries, tater tots, apples, yogurts.
I find it really odd that she doesn't provide the food though. |

An easier yogurt for them to eat is the gogurts in the tube....I dont remember who it was on the board(maybe Jillian) but someone suggested freezing them and now Kate wont eat em unless frozen. She lives on gogurt, cheese sticks(string, colby or cheddar), canned fruit(cocktail, peaches, pineapple, mandarin oranges), bananas and cantelope, apples(not too fond of grapes)she loves pizza rolls(they eat them at daycare once in a while), the smuckers uncrustables(peanut butter or grilled cheese) lunch meat ripped in pieces, tater tots, french fries. I just ordered one of those pocket sandwich makers from Tricia so I can make my own cheaper
