He says banana and onion when we go to the store :)
He likes onion in chicken live pate (another BIG hit)

I am soooo happy he likes to eat what I eat.
It makes life easier for me.

Vintage

I like these vintage ads

Besan dumplings

No wheat
Grain-free

Well seasoned to your taste

Drop in boiling water and they are done when floating
Scoop them out and I served them in a curry

Extrude

That is how they do it!

Non-Dairy, creamy broccoli soup

Use bedan to make a roux
Season well

Get soup going
Blitz
Serve

Season well or your Tiny wont particularly like it and neither will you

Feeding self

Half works

If food is squishy, it gets squished

Fruit

The mango tree in the yard is bearing
This is a hit too :)

Peas

Pea soup with onions and chive

A hit

Non-Dairy Sources of Calcium

Your toddler needs 500 milligrams of calcium per day. Nondairy foods that are rich in calcium.

• Salmon
• Green leafy vegetables like collard greens, turnip greens, kale and spinach
• Beans
• Broccoli
• Almond Milk or Butter
• Papaya

Non-Dairy Sources of Vitamin D

 Some foods that are high in Vitamin D include:

• Salmon, tuna, cod, mackerel, catfish and other fatty fish
• Shrimp
• Eggs
• Almond milks that are fortified with Vitamin D

Also, make sure your toddler is getting about 5-30 minutes of sun exposure per week (all year if you live in the South or during summer months if you live up North) so his body can make its own Vitamin D.

Non-Diary Sources of Fats

 Fats are necessary for cell growth, energy and processing fat-soluble vitamins. Here are some other foods that can supply healthy fats for your toddler when used in moderation:

• Peanut butter or other nut butters
• Avocados
• Olive oil
• Canola oil
• Olives (make sure they're not given whole to prevent choking)
• Ground flaxseeds

Some foods are definitely better choices than others. Almond butter, for example, is rich in good fat and calcium. Salmon is rich in Vitamin D, calcium and has healthier fats.

Juice, tea and puree

Carrot juice is a hit
Tea: Apple juice with garlic and chive (mild steeping) is a hit
Apple and raisin puree is a hit

Apple, pear and raisin -hit
Apple papaya and raisin -hit
Carrot and apple juice mix is a hit

Raisins give that purple color and sweetness and iron

One a day

One apple and some grapes
One apple and a pea with some rasins
Pumpkin and lentils soup ouree
Tuna
Chicken liver
Bone meal soups
You have to think about it but it can work out
I use a lot of tumeric when cooking

Stage 4 sipping because you've moved on:)

You feel physically better :)

When you wanna just...

Tell him to kick rocks

But you need his help so you gotta chill, like aint nothing wrong
And you know you'll gag if you eat anything he cooks again because he's been making it for every damn body.
Brunch this brunch disgusting that
His food aint that good anyway but nobody telling him because he forces it on them, and they dont want to cook
 Its just OK food dude.
Giving it an Italian name won't make it taste better...
But you need his help so you have to choke it down and smile like aint nothing wrong

We see you John

Drink what you wanna, man!

When the food is so good

Sometimes when the Christmas food is THAT good.

You just wanna SHIMMMMMMMYYYYYYY

With that good food taste in your mouth 

And your belly just  on pause :)
