When you have toddlers, you always want to make their food fast. They go zero to 100 fairly quickly, especially when they are hungry.
Whenever I’m trying to make them anything to eat, they can barely make it through the cooking process. Simple and quick seem to work best at this young age.
Making mealtime or snack time fun can be a challenge. What they liked yesterday; they hate today. Then I’ll be asked to make something they’ve never eaten before.
Did they hear about that in a cartoon? How do they even know what that is? The funny thing is, I’ll try to make it for them because I love the idea of them trying something new. Half the time though, they stare at their plate and then me like, what’s that?
I try to focus on creating new dishes out of things they already like and then sneaking in a new ingredient as a way to introduce them to new foods. This is something I love to make for myself.
After them seeing it so many times, they eventually broke down and wanted to try it. It was a huge success and I get asked for it on a regular basis now.
