I need to stop watching your videos before bed. Last night I dreamt that you and I went hiking in Australia... Never been. Have no plans on going but apparently we're going there to go hiking. Also, my son just turned one and he's started getting really picky, too. He's got 3 out of 4 molars with the last one VERY close and he's getting over an ear infection. I'm really hoping it's the teeth and illness and that he's back to being a good eater soon 🤞🏻 I keep editing my comment because I keep thinking of things to add 😂 you guys need a smoker for that pork butt! My husband got one from Sam's and has been experimenting and it's been amazing.
You're doing a wonderful job, Kayla! Cooking for tiny humans is definitely an adaptation. I know it helped me knowing that as a parent, my job was to offer my child a variety of nutritional food at set times and that it was my child's job to choose if and how much food they ate during those times. Babies and toddlers are also very intuitive eaters and know how much they need to eat to feel satisfied. I keep telling myself that whenever my daughter barely eats at mealtimes. 😂 I always try to serve my baby at mealtimes a source of iron (meat or plant-based), a source of grain and/or fat, and fruits and/or veggies. And like someone already mentioned below, you can always offer a "safe" food during meal times that you know your child likes and then keep alternating the rest so they're still getting the exposure. Good luck, you've got this! 💕
My favourite video of yours so far! Kayla you are such a light hearted person amongst all of the chaos and the fact that you share your life with us for free, just out of the kindness of your own heart is amazing. You help so many mamas everyday, including myself! -thank you.
I was just talking about how I feel like my whole day revolves around what my daughter is going to eat. She is picky too. If anyone is really struggling with getting your baby/toddler to eat solids I really recommend Your Kids Table.
OMG!!! Jackson's cuddles were the best!!! Also, you should have a series called "Conversations with Riley"... She has the cutest imagination and the best stories... Please if possible and if it's not a pain, could you maybe add a few subtitles when Riley is speaking. Just so we can understand her better :) Loads of love
They say if your child is going through a phase where they are being picky and not eating to only offer ONE food you know they will eat. Keep offering new ones or ones they are protesting and the stage will pass/they will try them. There is research out of there that supports all this as well. You're doing a great job mama!!
Kayla, you decide what you put on their plate, they decide if they to eat it. Offer a safe food, a new food, and a maybe food with each meal. You are doing a great job. Don't put so much pressure on yourself x
SUGGESTION: I also have a picky toddler.. and honestly I feed her what me and my husband eat. Sounds easy enough but occasionally I dish in for a meal what she prefers to eat.. like mac n cheese, or apples, chicken nuggets etc. A really good suggestion even for Jackson is to make sure the food smells good. Yes they are small children but they should taste different flavors too. You're Cuban so incorporate some garlic and onions and cilantro in your beans next time, make them in a delicious sauce with some rice on the side. Make some chicken in sauce too for your kids with a side of avocado. Maybe if you put some seasoning with some herbs the smell will enhance their taste buds. The aroma will make them crave the food plus if you and Joe are eating the same things they'll probably want to eat it too. Like I said suggestion. Please don't be offended but they're some easy delicious recipes on UA-cam. Laura Vitale makes a delicious whole chicken meal maybe the kids might like a whole meal with some real flavor. 💖🍗🥩🧅🧄🌶🥣
I totally agree you should really try and make the food more flavorful. Canned black beans don' taste that great. I probably wouldn't eat them like that..
My first was super picky... but I think it was bc I catered to it and I was so scared! With my second, I gave her everything from about 7 months old. I’m due with my third in about 6 weeks and I’ll be even less flexible with him, lol. Some ideas that really worked with my kids (even the picky one): Grilled cheese cut very small Mac and cheese Waffles with peanut butter cut small Tortellini cut small Sweet potato, soft & diced Cheerios with milk (a mess but they love it) Pasta with ground Turkey & sauce (use elbows so it’s small) Quesadillas cut small Scrambled eggs with cheese Toast with melted cheese cut small I just kept rotating and kept offering. Eventually it’ll even out!
I stressed about food too! Mine are the same ages and we go through the exact same stuff! My 3-year-old daughter it comes and goes how picky she is. For lunch I often offer leftovers from the day before especially if the kids didn't eat dinner with us. I also do things like sprinkle salt on grape tomato half's or cucumbers to get them to eat it. I always offer veggie dip or ranch if it's a vegetable I know they won't eat by themselves even if they just lick the sauce off at least they're exposed to it. Maybe one day they'll take a bite! I also do the frozen chicken nuggets and peanut butter and jelly all the time 😬 Right there with you. I catered to them for lunch. My toddler sometimes doesn't get much for dinner because I won't offer something else. I really can't let them go hungry like some say you should 🤷
Cooking tip, you can cut the broccoli stems and roast those too, tastes just as delicious. At least up to the branches. I recommend you try it next time. About Jackson's lack of interest in food he used to like it's super normal, it's just so important to continue offering to him all the foods even if he doesn't eat them or show interest. I am usually a no replacement meals kind of parent, at least not in the same moment but I do offer my son more food 30 min later to an hour later then he will eat some times and others he wont. Honestly, I wouldn't stress because children will NOT starve themselves, sometimes they are not hungry. Just give them the chance to come to the food when they are ready, it's up to them to eat it and we can't force them.
My kids loved soup, mac and cheese, and tuna or grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Greek yogurt, too. It’s so easy to make your own mac and cheese, not the crap in the box. Homemade soup freezes great in individual portions and is so healthy!
You’re doing great Kayla! Motherhood is so challenging and everyone tells you to not worry, but I do think it’s simply in our nature. I have a six year old son who wouldn’t eat meat for the longest. We just kept trying. At around 4 years old he was more willing to try new foods. Now I can’t seem to keep him from eating haha 😆. One day at a time that’s all we can do! Blessing to your little family. 💕
Hi there kayla, I'm on the same situation as you. I have a baby girl 17months old and I'm totally struggling on her meals every single DAY. Lol!! But I do some notes at night time and kinda note her food for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day. That includes snacks and fruits for the day. And Im still stressed about it 😅 You can do it girl! 💕💛
Feeding tiny humans is so so difficult sometimes! When my little guy is being picky I usually go straight to making a smoothie! He gets all his nutrients and I get a snack too 🤣😂 Good luck, Kayla!
Yes! Our ped always said it’s not what they eat in a day it’s more of what they eat in a week. She also says kids won’t starve themselves. I have a 4 year old and a 7 month old
Im no expert, but a good rule of thumb is to offer a protein or iron source, a grain and fruit veggie with each meal. Try offering the fruit last since most kids will definitely eat that first. I see that you meal prep, but maybe meal planning would be helpful when trying to decide what to offer at each meal. Having an alternative option, in case they dont eat what you offered first. I do this with my 9 month old and it saves me time with feeding her (were doling BLW). I just write down the meals, based off what foods are already prepped and I go from there. Riley is becoming your little helper. Loved the vlog.
My husband and I were just laughing our heads off at the Tammy part. I'm almost halfway pregnant with my first. We like to watch your videos together and just think about the funny conversations we will have with our little one. Kayla you are a super mom and my fav vlogger by far
I feel your frustrations Kayla. Yet even as you’re pulled in so many directions at once you pull through to taking good care of your “tiny humans.” Props to you.
I have an autistic older son with sensory difficulties toward food. I will say always offering & exposing helps a LOT over time. ❤️ They may get upset about the food being on the plate, but we don’t acknowledge the behavior or respond to it. You keep up the great work! Try to stay sane!
I feel this soooo much I have a 12 month old son trying to figure out 3 meals abs 2 snacks a day for him is so stressful especially being mindful of choking hazards. Then when you spend time making food and they throw it all on the floor oof that hurts 🤣🤣but I always wonder if he’s not hungry or is hungry but doesn’t want to eat what I gave him. So right here with you!!!
I started off with a rough day but watching you and the family oh my gosh I have laughed and laughed so much cheered my heart up😂😂😂😂 You are the best thank you for sharing ❤️
Love your videos ❤️ I started watching when you were pregnant with Jackson because I was pregnant with my first and I’m obsessed 🤩 . Thanks for all you do!
My 15 month old eats whatever I eat, with the exception of anything very hard or spicy. We did baby led weaning since he was 6 months old. It’s so much easier to not have to make separate meals for me and him. I know maybe you have that as your goal for the future, but you could start slowly working towards that now! Maybe give them one thing that you are eating along with their own special things. I still struggle with what to give my son for snacks though! He needs more snacks than I do. It’s really hard to avoid packaged things because they are so easy to grab and go!
Yes! It is a full time job to feed our kid(s)!! I want to branch out to other food too but I am no chef and I hate going through all the effort to make a new recipe and then my 20 month old won't even try it.
I’ve never seen anyone use that corner spinning cabinet for spices & stuff (I’m new to your channel) but that is genius! I never know what to store in there because it’s such an awkward space for me. 😂
I totally agree with how hard it is to feed your kids. I struggle daily with what I want to give my son. I try not to give him the same things every day but adding a variety is more difficult than you’d think 😅
That Tammy bit made me laugh so much! I understand completely about getting your young toddler to eat. We keep pouches in our house, as a backup in case my 17 month old doesn’t want to eat her food or we don’t think she’s had enough. We want to get away from that, but I’d rather give her those than nothing.
It’s so nice hearing you talk about the struggle of feeding your kids. I have a 10 month old and when I started the baby-led weaning process at 6 months we would eat everything and anything I offered him and now he’ll pick at it and play with it but won’t eat it. Most of it end up on the floor and it’s so discouraging because I’ll spend so much time preparing and cooking for him so completely disregarding it and it makes me so sad and I get so worried that he’s not eating enough.
I laughed so much during this video, your responses to Riley are so funny, she's the boss just like my daughter. Wait until Jackson is talking too, my 2 kids constantly try to talk to me at the same time and it's just exasperating 🙉 By the way you are doing a great job as a mommy 👍
What I’ve learned with my 10 month old is that I can make her something separate and she might eat it, but she actually wants to eat whatever mommy & daddy are eating. It can be hard sometimes since she doesn’t have any teeth yet, but I’ve learned to try and make a mix of something we’re eating and then supplement with a canned veggie on the side or purée pouch if she wants as well. She also still drinks formula so anytime I think she didn’t eat enough I know she’s drinking her milk for nutrients as well.
Put a sheet n of kitchen roll in your berry box after you have cleaned them and store them upside down. Jordan Paige insists this is the best way to keep them. This works with lettuce as well. It is better if you don’t wash them all at once. Xx
It would be interesting if you made a video on how you do your sponsored videos like how it's done, maybe how much you make from them, just a video about them! 🙂
Not sure if they have Kidfresh in VA but my toddler loves their Chicken Meatballs. It’s in the frozen department and their made with organic ingredients and whole white chicken. I have a picky toddler too and he loves these meatballs 😋and my husband and I love them too 😂
I’ve found my one year old prefers more intense flavours - have you tried adding spices etc? My guy wouldn’t touch those plain beans - but devours lasagne, curried eggs and teriyaki chicken. Maybe try adding some Cuban flavourings to make the food more exciting?
Is it possible that Jackson's molars are coming in? Maybe that's why he's not eating food he used to eat because his gums hurt? Anyway, thanks for keeping me company while my baby girl protests her nap 🙈
I would LOVE a teething video... like tips and tricks... first time mom here and I feel so overwhelmed sometimes cause I never know when I should do tylenol very cold teether... I dunno.. there isn't many videos about teething either.. 😊😁
@@kellyhorvatin thank you! We were lucky compared to some that were without power for more than 50 hours. And then others were without water. Doing good now!
Houstonian here with an 8 month old. The power outage was absolutely unreal. We’re renting but when we own we’re definitely getting a generator. We haven’t been able to fully restock our fridge due to food shortage and we’re still boiling water. Crazy times!
@@jenf4616 hope you were able to restock today. HEB was stocked in Bellaire. Boil Notice was lifted also! It was unreal and terrifying. I thought it was worse than Harvey in some ways.
@@brogers2221 we were able to get food from HEB on Buffalo Speedway yesterday! I still can’t believe that happened. I hope everyone’s doing well and are back to some kind of normalcy.
Hi Kayla! My son is a little younger than Riley but I have some videos on my channel for toddler meal ideas you might like. My son is a good eater and I credit it to giving him lots of variety before turning 1, and like you said, not pressuring him helps so much!
Making food for kids is NOT easy ! You are doing great ! You make an effort. You don’t give them bad food ! Good job mama ! Yes it is frustrating when they don’t eat, especially when you make the food from Scratch ahhhh ! 😑
I feel your pain on the feeding. My 1 year old was the best eater for awhile. Now he refuses some foods and spits other stuff out. It’s frustrating to spend a ton of time making new recipes and stuff just to have them refuse to eat or just pick at it!
Tip: You can eat the broccoli stem. If it’s too tough for you just remove the outer skin. Or next time just buy the broccoli crowns instead, it’d prob save you a few $ Cos of the weight of the stem too!
Yeah, I eat the stalks all the time. I leave them on when I roast broccoli with olive oil and sea salt, just cut them vertically to thin them. Deelish!
My kids are pretty much all grown(my youngest is 12 years old and others are adults) When they were little I started them on rice cereal at 4 months and baby food at 5 months. I always started with sweet potatoes, then every 3 days added in a veggie and fruit. By 6 months old my babies were eating baby food 3 times a day(breakfast, lunch, and dinner) Around 8 months old(once they were used to baby food and textures) I started what they now call baby led weaning. I'd give them chunks of cooked broccoli, carrots, peas, avocado, banana, etc. By 10 months old, they were eating all the same things I'd make for myself. In my opinion, there's no need to make 3-4 different things to accommodate everyone. If you do that now, that's what your kids will always expect. Example of meals I'd eat And my toddlers would eat. Breakfast; scrambled eggs with jelly toast, maybe oatmeal. Snack - granola bar, string cheese, goldfish or something small. Lunch; turkey and swiss/cheddar sandwich with miracle whip. Goldfish/chips and an orange Snack - peanut butter crackers, mini muffins, etc. Dinner; Salmon with a brown sugar and butter glaze with rice and steamed veggies. You should check out Brendas500cats here on UA-cam. She has 13 month old twin boys who were born early and they eat really well. Everything she makes for them, she eats too. They eat anything and everything. She also shows you what she's making and includes a lot of protein, iron, vitamins, etc into their meals.
Jackson and Riley are so cute! Also, I like to food prep my groceries too because it makes it easier to cook during the week! If you need something to entertain your kids while you cook, check out our representative animated songs. As seen on Pix 11 News in NYC!
“Tammy is right there! “ , “ Oh no she’s not!” Lol had me dying 😂😂😂
I need to stop watching your videos before bed. Last night I dreamt that you and I went hiking in Australia... Never been. Have no plans on going but apparently we're going there to go hiking.
Also, my son just turned one and he's started getting really picky, too. He's got 3 out of 4 molars with the last one VERY close and he's getting over an ear infection. I'm really hoping it's the teeth and illness and that he's back to being a good eater soon 🤞🏻
I keep editing my comment because I keep thinking of things to add 😂 you guys need a smoker for that pork butt! My husband got one from Sam's and has been experimenting and it's been amazing.
You're doing a wonderful job, Kayla! Cooking for tiny humans is definitely an adaptation.
I know it helped me knowing that as a parent, my job was to offer my child a variety of nutritional food at set times and that it was my child's job to choose if and how much food they ate during those times. Babies and toddlers are also very intuitive eaters and know how much they need to eat to feel satisfied. I keep telling myself that whenever my daughter barely eats at mealtimes. 😂
I always try to serve my baby at mealtimes a source of iron (meat or plant-based), a source of grain and/or fat, and fruits and/or veggies. And like someone already mentioned below, you can always offer a "safe" food during meal times that you know your child likes and then keep alternating the rest so they're still getting the exposure.
Good luck, you've got this! 💕
I canNOT stop laughing when you said you needed a break but you still had to fold laundry. This is so relatable. Thank you!
My favourite video of yours so far! Kayla you are such a light hearted person amongst all of the chaos and the fact that you share your life with us for free, just out of the kindness of your own heart is amazing. You help so many mamas everyday, including myself! -thank you.

“I can’t even listen to my brain think” you and me same girl 😂🤦🏼♀️
OMG!!! Jackson's cuddles were the best!!! Also, you should have a series called "Conversations with Riley"... She has the cutest imagination and the best stories... Please if possible and if it's not a pain, could you maybe add a few subtitles when Riley is speaking. Just so we can understand her better :) Loads of love
Also since Riley likes strawberries, I had the idea to try a different dip like chocolate hummus or strawberry cream cheese on a bagel or toast 😊
They say if your child is going through a phase where they are being picky and not eating to only offer ONE food you know they will eat. Keep offering new ones or ones they are protesting and the stage will pass/they will try them. There is research out of there that supports all this as well. You're doing a great job mama!!
Kayla, you decide what you put on their plate, they decide if they to eat it. Offer a safe food, a new food, and a maybe food with each meal. You are doing a great job. Don't put so much pressure on yourself x

Some ideas that really worked with my kids (even the picky one):
Grilled cheese cut very small
Mac and cheese
Waffles with peanut butter cut small
Tortellini cut small
Sweet potato, soft & diced
Cheerios with milk (a mess but they love it)
Pasta with ground Turkey & sauce (use elbows so it’s small)
Quesadillas cut small
Scrambled eggs with cheese
Toast with melted cheese cut small
I just kept rotating and kept offering. Eventually it’ll even out!
Girl YES! I got a new dishwasher last year as our Valentines “present” lol romance is alive and well because now I’m not slaving over dishes!!
I stressed about food too! Mine are the same ages and we go through the exact same stuff! My 3-year-old daughter it comes and goes how picky she is. For lunch I often offer leftovers from the day before especially if the kids didn't eat dinner with us. I also do things like sprinkle salt on grape tomato half's or cucumbers to get them to eat it.

I have never related so much to a motherhood vlog day as much as this one! Thank you for being real, I definitely relate to the food rut for sure!
Hi there kayla, I'm on the same situation as you. I have a baby girl 17months old and I'm totally struggling on her meals every single DAY. Lol!! But I do some notes at night time and kinda note her food for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day. That includes snacks and fruits for the day.

😂😂😂 Joe is hilarious with the fake cockroach. What a great prank!
"Be gone, Tammy!" 🤣🤣 I have this same exact fear!

I want to say GOOD JOB KAYLA for teaching Riley good bathroom habits! I love that she's knows to wash her hands!
I agree with feeding your kids being a full time job! I don't know how you do UA-cam on top of taking care of kiddos. Way to go mama! 💕
I feel your frustrations Kayla. Yet even as you’re pulled in so many directions at once you pull through to taking good care of your “tiny humans.” Props to you.
Riley says the funniest things and I love how you react 😂
BE GONE TAMMY 😂
I have an autistic older son with sensory difficulties toward food. I will say always offering & exposing helps a LOT over time. ❤️ They may get upset about the food being on the plate, but we don’t acknowledge the behavior or respond to it. You keep up the great work! Try to stay sane!
There is one word OBSESSED

I totally agree with how hard it is to feed your kids. I struggle daily with what I want to give my son. I try not to give him the same things every day but adding a variety is more difficult than you’d think 😅
Good morning Kayla, your videos always brighten up my day.
"Are you being a Johnny Johnny" haha I wish I didn't know what you were talking about🤣😭 "hahaha"
Lmaooooo 😂😂😂😂😂 If you know you know
That Tammy bit made me laugh so much! I understand completely about getting your young toddler to eat.

We put small allen wrenches on the door ledge to open the doors with. Also my three year old love to watch your videos with me.
goodmorning!!! great way to start my morning ...love your vlogs, and yes food prep definitely helps life be so much easier lol
I think you’re doing a great job momma! 👏🏻💜

Be nice to yourself, you're going a great job and I admire all that you do and share ❤
Currently watching this over all again lol I watched yesterday when my kids were awake but I feel like I was so distracted I don't remember it haha 😅
It would be interesting if you made a video on how you do your sponsored videos like how it's done, maybe how much you make from them, just a video about them! 🙂
"so she can see the freaking puppy" I don't know why but this made me 😂 sooo hard
Not sure if they have Kidfresh in VA but my toddler loves their Chicken Meatballs. It’s in the frozen department and their made with organic ingredients and whole white chicken. I have a picky toddler too and he loves these meatballs 😋and my husband and I love them too 😂
pretty shelves and bathroom!
I’ve found my one year old prefers more intense flavours - have you tried adding spices etc? My guy wouldn’t touch those plain beans - but devours lasagne, curried eggs and teriyaki chicken. Maybe try adding some Cuban flavourings to make the food more exciting?
The bird, Tammy, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"when we wake up from our nap, we can go to disney world tomorow" i laughed so so hard, i love her 😂😂❤
My daughter is a fussy eater too so I give her the fruit or veggies first before giving her the other foods 😊 it kind of helps!
Good morning! Love your vlog!
Hi Kayla. I love watching your videos. There's lots of good advice in the comments so you don't need to hear anything from me. Great job Mama!
Riley is a smart little girl and Jackson's super cute! 💓
can i suggest you some food for babies? rice and pulses made separately and then made into small balls. you can enhance their taste buds :)
Oh you can use the green stuff from broccoli for broccolisoup btw.
Bonus vlog!!!!! Yay thank you Kayla
My son is the same age as Jackson and he’s developed pickiness over the last month. He spits out new things everytime. I am in the same boat currently
Girl I’m telling ya an instapot will change your life!
Is it possible that Jackson's molars are coming in? Maybe that's why he's not eating food he used to eat because his gums hurt?
Anyway, thanks for keeping me company while my baby girl protests her nap 🙈
You took me out wit the Johnny Johnny 🤣
Lmaooooooo 😂😂😂 freaking liar that Johnny Johnny
My grandkids like pizza, burgers, spaghetti, tacos, shepherd's pie, macaroni and cheese- home made. For suppers....
I would LOVE a teething video... like tips and tricks... first time mom here and I feel so overwhelmed sometimes cause I never know when I should do tylenol very cold teether... I dunno.. there isn't many videos about teething either.. 😊😁
Id like too see you make cuban food! Itll be a fun challenge :)
Can I make these muffins with flour instead of oats?
Literally watching this video in the background while trying to figure out what to feed my 12mo old for dinner. It can be so exhausting sometimes
It is a full time job to feed your kids!!!!!! I hear you 👂🙌🏻
Give the Aldi's sweet potatoes and spinach/kale bites a try. My baby loves them.
Kayla can you link the generator yall have? In Houston and when the power was out for 24 hours the house was 47 degrees with an 11 month old. Thanks!
That is so scary! I hope you and your family are safe ❤️
@@kellyhorvatin thank you! We were lucky compared to some that were without power for more than 50 hours. And then others were without water. Doing good now!
Houstonian here with an 8 month old. The power outage was absolutely unreal. We’re renting but when we own we’re definitely getting a generator. We haven’t been able to fully restock our fridge due to food shortage and we’re still boiling water. Crazy times!
@@jenf4616 hope you were able to restock today. HEB was stocked in Bellaire. Boil Notice was lifted also! It was unreal and terrifying. I thought it was worse than Harvey in some ways.
@@brogers2221 we were able to get food from HEB on Buffalo Speedway yesterday! I still can’t believe that happened. I hope everyone’s doing well and are back to some kind of normalcy.
love all your videos so much💝🤗
Omg i’m dying 😂😂 i always drop raw eggs on the floor 😂😂

Hi Kayla! My son is a little younger than Riley but I have some videos on my channel for toddler meal ideas you might like. My son is a good eater and I credit it to giving him lots of variety before turning 1, and like you said, not pressuring him helps so much!
If you need a great recipe for a whole roasted chicken, the buttermilk one from the Salt Fat Acid Heat cookbook is great.
Making food for kids is NOT easy ! You are doing great ! You make an effort. You don’t give them bad food ! Good job mama ! Yes it is frustrating when they don’t eat, especially when you make the food from Scratch ahhhh ! 😑
Love these videos!!
I feel your pain on the feeding. My 1 year old was the best eater for awhile. Now he refuses some foods and spits other stuff out. It’s frustrating to spend a ton of time making new recipes and stuff just to have them refuse to eat or just pick at it!
Tip: You can eat the broccoli stem. If it’s too tough for you just remove the outer skin. Or next time just buy the broccoli crowns instead, it’d prob save you a few $ Cos of the weight of the stem too!
Yeah, I eat the stalks all the time. I leave them on when I roast broccoli with olive oil and sea salt, just cut them vertically to thin them. Deelish!
You look gorgeous Kayla❤
My kids are pretty much all grown(my youngest is 12 years old and others are adults) When they were little I started them on rice cereal at 4 months and baby food at 5 months. I always started with sweet potatoes, then every 3 days added in a veggie and fruit. By 6 months old my babies were eating baby food 3 times a day(breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
Around 8 months old(once they were used to baby food and textures) I started what they now call baby led weaning. I'd give them chunks of cooked broccoli, carrots, peas, avocado, banana, etc. By 10 months old, they were eating all the same things I'd make for myself.
In my opinion, there's no need to make 3-4 different things to accommodate everyone. If you do that now, that's what your kids will always expect.
Example of meals I'd eat And my toddlers would eat.
Breakfast; scrambled eggs with jelly toast, maybe oatmeal.
Snack - granola bar, string cheese, goldfish or something small.
Lunch; turkey and swiss/cheddar sandwich with miracle whip. Goldfish/chips and an orange
Snack - peanut butter crackers, mini muffins, etc.
Dinner; Salmon with a brown sugar and butter glaze with rice and steamed veggies.
You should check out Brendas500cats here on UA-cam. She has 13 month old twin boys who were born early and they eat really well. Everything she makes for them, she eats too. They eat anything and everything. She also shows you what she's making and includes a lot of protein, iron, vitamins, etc into their meals.
Have you tried smoothies? My picky eaters love smoothies
INTERESTING VIDEO!!!
Jackson and Riley are so cute! Also, I like to food prep my groceries too because it makes it easier to cook during the week! If you need something to entertain your kids while you cook, check out our representative animated songs. As seen on Pix 11 News in NYC!
grilled cheese? French toast?
pancakes are great made with eggs and milk.......
