What does your 2/3 year old love to eat?.......

SweetPeonies07

Going through a phase for a little while with DS where he doesn't eat much of anything at all.  Looking for new ideas.

If I just want him to eat no questions asked, no prodding....mac n cheese w/broccoli & Hot Dogs. He'll eat pasta in any shape w/chicken nuggets and corn/peas/carrots. He loves burgers & french fries (you know what they say about the apple....) and I've newly discovered that he loves breakfast for dinner - eggs, toast and fruit.

Though he's a PITA and you have to constantly remind him to eat during dinner time he eats just about everything. I think thats why it's so frustrating. I know that he likes the food, he just takes F O R E V E R to eat it. It's like my own personal Mommy Dearest.

Good Luck

Fruit..tons of Fruit. I buy a bunch of fresh fruit and make a fruit salad that I keep in the fridge for him. 

Broccoli, Cheese Sticks, Hot Dogs/Sausage, Corn, Red Peppers, Edamame, Chick Cutlets, Chicken Legs, Breaded Pork Chops, Shrimp, nutellla & bread

My son would eat fruit all day if I let him..blueberries, grapes, bananas, apples etc.  He eats chicken nuggets, fish sticks, macaroni, meatballs (turkey meat these days), tuna, eggs, cheerios, veggie burgers, french fries, veggie straws, gold fish etc.  Veggies are a crap shoot these days..so I try to get him to eat a veggie burger at least twice a week..I'm also giving him veggie nuggets now instead of chicken nuggets so I know he's getting some veggies that way.  Oh he likes waffles, pancakes, breakfast sausage...and he drinks milk (soy) like it's going out of style..

I am so jealous of all your kids that will eat fruit and veggies.  We are going through a crazy phase and it's been a struggle. 

He will eat any carb possible.   Pasta, PB&J sandwiches, grilled cheese, tuna fish sandwiches.

 He will eat bananas (depending on his mood), apples and for the first time had a Dole pineapple cup.  I bought a fresh pineapple yesterday so I am going to cut it up to see if he will eat that now. 

I remember the days of buying costco size blueberries packages and still not having enough in the house.  He would eat them like crazy.  Now he won't even touch them.

We're going through major dinnertime struggles right now...there are so many phases that are common...you're not alone.

Well, it's 10:30 and she's had many of her favorites so far this morning - pancakes with syrup, greek yogurt with agave nectar, and right now she's eating a clementine

she also eats bran flakes by the ton, waffles, bagels, other fruits (strawberries, bananas, apples are favorites), granola bars

pb&j on crackers (not on bread!  god forbid she eats a sandwich!) 

pasta, either with sauce or butter (and tons of cheese).  she used to eat lasagna and other baked pasta dishes but won't now. 

mini chicken tacos from trader joes with sour cream and salsa, avocado/guacamole depending on her mood 

chicken nuggets and oven baked fries 

pizza

cucumbers - alone or with lettuce, dressed in evoo and apple cider vinegar and spices

those are the things she LOVES to eat.  there are other things she'll eat but she doesn't really LOVE them.  and unfortunately, there are a lot of things she won't eat.

good times.
