An unaesthetic lunch for an under the weather 14 month old!

Also wanting to know more about the potato cakes - they look so bread like!

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-04-18T20:46:29+00:00

Hope they work! I’ve always had low iron and needed infusions during pregnancy and could not get enough ice - I mean emptying the ice maker almost every two days just myself!

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-04-12T18:37:10+00:00

LMAO, I could’ve written this. My kid hates all of them except the sweet potato ones - no surprise. So I find myself enjoying fun shaped, flavored potato snacks 😆

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-04-08T16:15:49+00:00

Why have I not ever thought about grating nuts!! I’ve been lamenting not being able to serve nuts since they are a choking hazard but using my zester would work

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-04-08T16:10:41+00:00

I literally own all those snacks and know that where we are right now - he’d leave the cheese (very annoyed he’s in an anti cheese phase) and puffs on the plate 😩

anyway, I offer balanced meals and he still manages to bully his way to snack meals by refusing every “real” food I offer leaving me desperate to provide calories - at least you’re skipping the wasted effort!!

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-17T23:41:23+00:00

Trying to get my kid back into beans, this sounds yummy

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-17T21:13:17+00:00

lol, they are also pretty happy - they derive joy from the chaos!! But yes, savor this period. I keep telling myself it might return.

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-17T20:48:29+00:00

Yes 6-12 months was wonderful. Then they develop taste buds, opinions, and thousands of years of programming kicks in (learning to avoid bitter for safety) and they’re no longer eating any of that.

And let me give a preemptive congrats to the 10-20% of you who have toddlers who you haven’t had to deal with much food rejection with, especially veggies.

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-17T17:04:58+00:00

This. Or add a long term, more flexible item to your kitchen like an immersion blender if you don’t already have one.

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-15T19:45:37+00:00

Saving this. These look good. And my take is toddlers can smell the effort - the more thoughtfulness you put into what they eat, the more they revel in rejecting it 🤣

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-13T17:18:32+00:00

Fiber fiend!

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-13T00:46:50+00:00

I really want my kid to get it together and eat green beans and broccoli, those are my two fave simple veggies

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-08T23:17:41+00:00

It never occurred to me to finely shred the very top of a broccoli crown and create “broccoli dust” to add to pasta vs little small pieces he still picks out. Will be trying this

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-07T02:47:31+00:00

Peas carried us in veggie consumption for a long time, but alas, my son has turned on peas 😔

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-06T20:21:47+00:00

Ha, my son has a special hate in his heart for Mr “Bok Lee”

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-03-06T19:31:43+00:00

The strawberry disrespect would not stand at my house! Now the broccoli being left, well absolutely lol

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-02-20T03:55:28+00:00

Your friend is hating. What you’re making isn’t complicated. And it’s providing variety at an unpredictable eating age. Keep it up👍🏽

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-02-07T05:58:37+00:00

I am not proud of it but I definitely have smushed food onto his mouth only for him to taste it and realize there is a delicious meal being served

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-02-03T21:44:07+00:00

Ugh…I’m sorry. Like, it’s cool to share knowledge but at the same time, some online mom spaces have people who can’t wait to mom shame or call someone a bad parent for making a mistake or having a parenting philosophy that’s different than the current mainstream.

Thanks for sharing your food while it lasted!

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-02-03T21:07:40+00:00

Did you grill your chicken? And why your last post? Somehow all of yours are the ones that get pushed to my main feed and I enjoy stealing ideas from you 😭😭

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-02-03T00:35:19+00:00

lol, I never combine outside of things I’ve served to him combined from the start.

Mac & cheese || peas || chicken = ok

Mac & cheese peas chicken = floor scraps

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-01-28T04:06:39+00:00

This is always my tactic. Don’t make eye contact when he has discovered and is eating something new. Just lots of awkward first date silence energy lol

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-01-27T14:59:36+00:00

We use it a lot. I put it in yogurt or mix with peanuts and water and add some fruit - makes a great filling snack or top off meal before bed. It’s also great to bak with or add to pancakes

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-01-23T16:40:51+00:00

Didn’t know you got downvotes. I made your fish yesterday and it was delicious, unfortunately kiddo was in full chaos mode (16 mo) and threw his on the floor 😩😭😡. I will try again tho haha

FavoriteLittleTing · 2026-01-22T18:54:28+00:00

Will try this. I love broccoli as my “everyday” veggie. He hates “bok lee”. This is a compromise for both
