Any Dinner suggestons for a picky eater.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

My 6 yr old son is a very picky eater and I am trying to expand his dinner

choices. He only

will eat black bean and cheese wraps, pasta with butter, french toast, humus and

crackers,

chunks of cheddar cheese, pepper strips, and tofu with ketchup. He mostly likes

the crunchy

foods and does not like combinations. I don't mind keeping it simply (no

cassoroles or

combo foods llke rice, beans and veggies together), but I'm concerned he will

get bored with

dinner. I need some new ideas.

 

Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks,

Evan

This has been a popular topic on this list; if you go to the group home page and

type the word " picky " in the search box you will find the prior conversations.

 

Here are some popular options:

 

take your son to the grocery store or (even better) to a farmer's market and

let him pick out a new vegetable to introduce to the family and let him prepare

or help prepare it

go to the library and check out a kids cookbook (i love the moosewood). let

him pick out a couple of recipes to prepare for the family

kids love to dunk! veggies in hommous or salad dressing, fruit in yoghurt

Will he eat soups? My son liked this sweet potato/leek/pumpkin soup I made

(it was for our housewarming party last Oct). It's puree'd, it was a

beautiful orange color. Serve with bread, yum.

I subb'd vegan ingredients, and we had canned pumpkin instead of fresh at

the time.

 

For something quick, would he eat something like spaghetti? You can make a

'cream' sauce by pureeing tofu into, and spinach.

I've made a vegan version of spaghetti O's (vegweb.com is where I got it

from) and it really is good. Basically little pasta of whatever shape (I

have my son pick out what kind he wants - vegi rainbow alphabets and numbers

are his fav).

 

My son doesn't really like to dip stuff, so I don't know much of things on

that front. He used to like pretzles with peanutbutter to dip them in, but

he wasn't interested in that kind of thing much,and hardly at all anymore.

 

Good luck. I bet the archives would have a ton of stuff!
