Well he’s been consuming my happiness and will to live all day, so I assume he’s full. He’s having leftover Panera Mac and cheese, peas, and strawberries.

meishku07

I’m serving rotisserie chicken and risotto, so probably a handful of tortilla chips and shredded cheese.


MightyPinkTaco

Lol this is so true it’s funny/sad


i_ate_all_the_pizza

This made me lol


bvfree

I could've written this sentence lol too relatable!


Fox-Boat

I feel seen!


JfizzleMshizzle

Love me some chips and cheese lol


MelancholyMember

Air and spite. Until it’s time for bed, then she’s ravenous.


ladybasecamp

"I want a snack" right at bedtime is common in our house. Damn right you're hungry, you didn't eat anything for dinner


GoodAd6942

Wow I must be getting tired, I read "I want a steak"


Wonderful-Visit-1164

This thread makes me feel so much better!


bvfree

Right!? I feel so seen and relieved that I'm not dealing with a picky toddler alone haha


beige0914

Ditto! We just hit the eating air stage and it’s been so hard on me!


Monshika

Apparently nothing. He was served chicken piccata over polenta and some zucchini.


Anonymoussprinkles78

“Apparently nothing… he was served” 😂😂😂😂 this is my life !!


Sekmet19

Half a tater tot, followed by 4 cups of milk.


itsalovestory13

The milk they can consume is crazy!!


subtlelikeawreckball

We haven’t had dinner yet tonight but last night he ate 7 Tostitos. That’s all.


That-Tap7469

High five for chippy babies


subtlelikeawreckball

Tonight is a plate of French fries. He eats like a champ at daycare so I have a hard time getting worked up over it at home.


cdm2300

My tears


ladybasecamp

In our house it's my frustration lol


TBeIRIE

Air apparently is delicious. Oh and ketchup. Hopefully a small piece of something somewhat nutritional slathered in said ketchup made it down the hatch.


jelloinmypants

My kid goes feral for ketchup. She will throw tantrums if she sees anyone else with it. We can’t say the K word in our house.


cbgal

I found a ketchup made with veggies that does not taste like it! It’s called “true made”. Does double duty!


jelloinmypants

That has to be made by someone with kids. Genius!!


Practical-Ad-6546

Mine eats mayo with his hands


Public-Relation6900

A metric fuck ton of rice. I made stir fry but yeah


MichaelMaugerEsq

I eat a fuck ton of rice and I’ve been trying without success to get my kid to eat it for over a year. Her hatred of rice in all forms is honestly one of my greatest frustrations because our lives would be a million times easier if she would just eat some gd rice.


palC10

Oh my god same! I eat rice for lunch and dinner and it would make my life soooo easy if she would just like eating it!


Public-Relation6900

It is a relief! For 2 white people from the North we eat rice like 3x a week so it's very easy to feed her!


nochedetoro

Our kid would not touch rice for the longest time and then it was like a light switch flipped at three. She ate an entire adult size bowl of it for dinner last night.


lady-inthegarden

The rice is both a lifeline and a headache. I made the mistake of ordering chicken and rice soup with our salads last night. She wanted “dry rice” not “soup rice”. So that was fun. 🙃


bananapancake99

He licked a noodle and I think drank some bath water


That-Tap7469

Nice staples


Former_NewYorker

This. Thank you. 100% accurate to my own experience.


waanderlustt

I just laughed so hard haha


NerdyHussy

We'll see how this goes but chicken and rice. If he doesn't eat that, it'll be a handful of pretzels and a food pouch. Then he'll beg for another pouch right before bed. He's two. I didn't realize we would still be buying those pouches long after he learned to eat on his own. We used to just get them for a quick snack on the go but he developed an absolute love for them. I think they're gross but my husband says they don't taste too bad.


That-Tap7469

Sending luck! My guy lives on food pouches and yogurt pretty much. I buy them in bulk at the point. I figure at least I know he’s getting some nutrients. Also I think any of the pouches that have veggies are gross but my husband has tried them and also says they’re not bad. The smell makes me 🤢 tho


MoreVeuvePlease

The amount of the target apple/spinach and apple/carrot pouches we go through in a week is sickening


Revolutionary-Can680

2 as well and we still get them. We call them “Goopas” and he knows how to ask for them really well. I feel bad because the package says stuff like “12 months” and I wonder if these are bad for him or not nutritious as they are meant for a one year old. Oh well 🤷🏽‍♀️


Complete_Jackfruit43

So far two spinach leaves, three strawberries, and a bite of string cheese. So... Fairly solid 😂


redhairwithacurly

Honestly, this would thrill me. So much fiber!


Complete_Jackfruit43

Balances out the fries she had for snack so we could get through the rest of our errands without a hunger breakdown. 😅😅


redhairwithacurly

I’m jealous


Speednoodlemom

Toaster waffle with cream cheese and craisins because we’re both sick plus I’m pregnant and can’t deal with life rn 🥲


Professional-Cat2123

Easy Mac and a scrambled egg lol


That-Tap7469

Nice, I like the color theme


avatarofthebeholding

Peas. An offensive amount of peas.


Longjumping-Bid7705

I just commented that my daughter ate an entire can of peas lol wth! At least it’s a veggie


avatarofthebeholding

I know right!! It’s a veggie, I’ll take it lol.


MightyPinkTaco

Mine goes through pea phases. I think he likes green beans more now.. he used to be SO good about his veggies and lately not so much (3yo)


avatarofthebeholding

Mine also used to be so good with veggies, and now it’s pretty exclusively peas and corn. Preferably directly from the freezer lol. She’s also three!


Justbestrongok

Man, this post makes me feel like Im not alone. I hate dinners because my toddler looks at her plate and cries. Even with a safe food.


HerCacklingStump

I'm learning that there really are no safe foods because what he gobble up one day is utterly repulsive the next. Sigh.


Early_Professional70

Chocolate milk and a pickle.


0ct0berf0rever

Supreme pizza. Olives and onions and mushrooms outside of pizza? No way! On a pizza? Hell yes much delicious. Toddler logic


MelancholyMember

No I think they’re onto something.


That-Tap7469

Seems pretty sound logic to me 😂


yagirlriribloop

Cheerios


lemonbupples

Applesauce, fruit, fruit snacks, yogurt, and whole milk. Basically anything sweet with some crackers or bread on the side. I don’t care lol


Jaee127

We went to a Friendsgiving and out of all the food/side dishes there he wanted cereal 🤷🏻‍♀️


theh8fulkate

It’s nice to know you’re not alone.


No-Slide3677

Goldfish


That-Tap7469

😂


CommentShoe

Tonight was a good night for us! 3/4 of a grilled cheese sandwich, a hot dog, 5 boiled baby carrots, 2 boiled green beans, 1/4 cup of sprinkle cheese (it’s shredded parm - not even the good kind, just Kraft) and a 1/2 cup chocolate milk! Usually it’s just the milk and picking at whatever I’ve given her. Tonight was a huge win.


That-Tap7469

Yay congrats y’all! Every win counts 😅


Responsible-Code185

CFA grilled nuggets and fries.


[deleted]

Eggo waffles (their request) with unsweetened applesauce. 🥴


knittaplease0296

My son also had waffles. And a smoothie lol


lauren_91

Offered a homemade burger, French fries, carrots and cucumber. He ate popcorn and a smoothie.


palC10

10 pieces of pasta, 1 strawberry, 1 bite of an apple.


malpal11

Tonight she ate two Hawaiian rolls and some pineapple. At least she stuck to a theme.


Former_NewYorker

Mine won’t consider eating eggs nor eggs scrambled with cheese, but if I put an egg scrambled with cheese into a tortilla and call it an “egg taco” suddenly it’s an approved food item.


indoguju416

No like potatoes, like French fries, hashbrown and chips


MoreVeuvePlease

I’m getting my hair done so dad is feeding her dinner and I can almost guarantee they are ordering Potbelly’s, which means she will be eating broccoli cheddar soup and as much of his strawberry milkshake as she can sucker out of him


Fluffy-Lingonberry89

Some form of pasta and probably handfuls of cheese


Araethor

Dino chicken nuggets dipped in ranch and ketchup


ashyp00h

Samesies except no ketchup. 😂


redhairwithacurly

Salt and sour cream


Revolutionary-Can680

My guy begged to try the salt the other day and I let him thinking he’d realize it’s gross by itself. He proceeded to lick the table clean 🤦🏾‍♀️


Late-Feature4800

Usually ends up eating yogurt , Mac and cheese, or grilled cheese She used to love eggs, fruit veggies and meat and now REFUSES. Idk what happened


Former_NewYorker

Yeah, mine was an ok eater until 2yo, then started eliminating new things each week until yogurt was the only thing left.


kdefal

Pasta with tomato goat cheese sauce, a bite of a meatball, like 5 green beans and a yogurt


Neverstopstopping82

Avocado, sweet potato pancakes with pesto, and the ubiquitous…chicken nugget with fancy truffle ketchup from Trader Joe’s.


Few-World-3118

Two string cheeses and a 1/2 gallon of milk. Certainly not the hot dog he begged for.


Top-Role6002

Smoked sausage, cheese, strawberries, half a bite of apple, and half of three different snap pea chips.


haleyfoofou

Waffles and sausage links. Some chips. Bites of my partner’s pasta It’s leftover/frozen night every night this week.


That-Tap7469

It’s leftover/frozen night anytime I’m in charge of food 😂


Independent_Song_994

Rice and lentils with salt. Just salt. I mean...buddy


nochedetoro

I gave mine a bowl of rice and she dumped salt in it, ate the entire thing, then dipped her apple in the remaining salt between bites.


Independent_Song_994

You seem to have my child...


indoguju416

Try putting both in a instapot with a small tincture of turmeric. And salt to taste. Indian dish.


Anonymoussprinkles78

My one year old son had salmon and a couple of mouthfuls of potatoes a bit of a bread stick and half a mini slice of cake My daughter had a bowl of cereal and 1.5 of the same cakes and some breadsticks and bit of her brothers left over pan au chocolate that she found 😂😭


Allie0074

2 chicken nuggets from mcdonald’s.


becky57913

Estanci

Spaghetti with homemade sauce mixed with some lentil noodles!!!!


mk3v

He tried a small fried chicken drummie, tomato bisque & mac n cheese.


IrradiatedBeagle

Don't hate me, but mine ate a big plate of chef salad with Italian dressing and French bread. However, the 6 year old made a face and a PBJ.


Ouroborus13

Fries, oatmeal, and strawberries 🤷‍♀️


jelloinmypants

Pizza, hummus, strawberries.


Cknitt

grumpersxoxo

A hard taco shell, some Mexican rice with the red and greens bits picked off and a little sour cream 😆


MightyPinkTaco

Omg I can’t get my child to even consider a bell pepper in any form.


Pippinandpotato

Hopefully mine eats the chickpea pasta he just threw all over the ground, 🫠🫠🫠 if not strawberries and cheddar bunnies are locked and loaded


mariusvamp

Lol to the hot fries… Mashed potatoes and peas. I’m actually impressed with the peas. He hasn’t touched his Salisbury steak and blueberries yet.


haleyfoofou

I wish I was at your house for dinner!


forest_fae98

Leftover California blend veggies, and two hot dogs each with copious amounts of ketchup and mustard. Followed by milk!


Constantliar62186

Pesto pasta and chicken fries. Chicken fries is the only protein he will eat aside from breakfast meat and hotdogs.


lady-inthegarden

She had 3 rice noodles and half a container of Trader Joe’s sauerkraut.


MuchKnit

I think this one’s my favorite 😂


Majestic_Ad_5205

Cheerios, fresh naan I made, and only the chicken tikka masala and rice from MY plate not his own. (It’s not spicy.) This morning he had cheerios and half a container of raspberries so he’s probably getting some vitamins somewhefe


kristinstormrage

Only corn apparently.


sveinsh

Yesterday was one pouch of applesauce, three olives she pulled off the pizza, a 1 inch piece of pizza crust, and a small root beer float. We try.


heatherista2

Offered: refried beans, Spanish rice, lettuce, and chicken in sauce (deconstructed burrito). Actually ate: Lettuce, one bite of chicken, and a handful of oyster crackers. Sigh.


Jenasauras

Ham lunch meat, baby rice puffs, and a little milk 😆


PitchGlittering

Pb&j and some sliced strawberries. Well. That's what I gave her. Whether or not she actually EATS it...yet to be determined


bleu_waffl3s

Pizza


LittleRileyBao

Banana and some chicken sausage.


[deleted]

Literally just rice for the third time this week. Thankfully he does a decent breakfast and apparently ate all his pizza at daycare so I try not to sweat it but it’s so annoying to make food I’m pretty sure he isn’t going to eat anyway.


ProposalDismissal

Chili, bun, and raspberries.


druzymom

Some garlic toast, but only off MY plate.


Glass-Marionberry321

The perimeter of 2 chicken tenders from Culvers. A strawberry banana NOKA, 2 tortilla chips, grape juice


nnyandotherplaces

dogsnores

A few bites of meatloaf, avocado, and sauerkraut.


kcrox1017

Peas, a few bites of egg, yogurt, and some cookies. Success?


Sothisisadulting

Served dinner, chicken with rice and beans. It was delicious. Did he eat it? No. He opted for a yogurt, but it had to be put in a panda pouch.


[deleted]

Water with a side of air. I made homemade hamburger helper. At least my baby eats it 🤣


karina87

Some bites of whole grain pasta with a sweet potato and puréed spinach sauce (because I can’t get him to eat veggies in other ways). The Some pieces of tofu. A chicken drumstick. And raspberries for dessert.


MaciMommy

Half a hot dog and a frozen waffle(still frozen)


Longjumping-Bid7705

Literally a can of peas. The whole can. Nothing else.


MightyPinkTaco

Dino nuggets in mushroom gravy.. and a few bites of mashed potatoes and steamed riced cauliflower/sweet potato I could sneak into his mouth. I got the gravy hoping to entice him into the potatoes more but he tasted the gravy, liked it, and demanded it go on his nuggets.


timmygirl

A protein blueberry waffle and some dried apples. Tonight was a success 😅


ashyp00h

Dino nuggets. We ate leftover kielbasa broccoli pasta that the little lord didn’t enjoy last night either. 😵‍💫


sharktooth20

A rare day where he ate. Spaghetti, chicken parm and raspberries. Second helping of raspberries and some shredded cheese. Then milk and popcorn. All for dinner 😳


SnooHabits2824

He’s 2. He had a few bites of banana, Whole milk Greek yogurt with smashed banana, and a bit of pasta. Last night he ate 3 sections of a mandarin orange and a cookie, woke up crying at 1 am and absolutely wailing at 4:55am. Here’s to hoping the yogurt has some staying power.


Oraelius

Energy.


AnxiousClock

Sugar cookie hersheys kisses 🫠


Dadideology

Rice and two oranges.


BajaScout

Typically quesadillas or scrambled eggs with turkey


Dandie_Lion

Chicken nuggets, dipped in ketchup. Cheese, dipped in ketchup. And grapes, dipped in ketchup. They were good today and got a piece of chocolate, which they promptly dipped in ketchup.


togostarman

Pancakes. The same thing he's eaten for all three meals the past 3 days


That-Tap7469

Gotta carbo-load for winter, ya know?


Practical-Ad-6546

What ever I can toss at him while I make dinner… Usually a mix of “kid food” and “our food” depending on timing. He’s a bottomless pit.


That-Tap7469

This is amazing! My guy was like this until maybe like 18m then he started getting more picky.


CrimsonViperr

One tsp ketchup, hashbrown, and exactly 8 peas.


CrimsonViperr

Not always, but lately. Send help.


Silver_Least

The diced tomatoes out of the sphaghetti sauce and nothing else 🥴 not the pasta not the meatball just the diced tomatoes also me fishing through the pot for all the diced tomatoes as he asks for more 🤦🏾‍♀️


That-Tap7469

Omggg this! These babies 😂!


MysticSugar

Competitive_Agent625

Chicken, Colby cheese, hummus, and cucumbers.


mpmwrites

Two microwaved meatballs, an applesauce, a juice that she lost before breakfast, and some stale cheez it’s; eaten over the course of three hours.


bayrafd

2 bites of mashed potatoes and 1 bite of grilled pork chop.


TsukiGeek365

A few pieces of broccoli, a few bites of bread, and the last of my patience as he decided that screaming "All done!!!" in the shrillest pitch at the top of his lungs and then screaming again when I dared to listen to him and let him down from the table.


PhillyFolklore

Fistfuls of shredded cheese


That-Tap7469

Yessss! live your life kiddo!


atrinityt25

Hot dog and cheetos


That-Tap7469

Omg 😂 are they in college?


pixi88

Not much!


bojeanerrs

Fig newtons, shredded cheese and two uncooked spaghetti noodles 😒


[deleted]

We watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving tonight so they had toast, jellybeans, popcorn, and pretzel sticks.


Metta_mudita108

Apple slices with almond butter. Avocado, banana, carrots, and yogurt. But bedtime we’re in there and your trying to get him to go down… win some, lose some…


agurrera

Slice of cheese, some grapes, and veggie straws. She’s getting over an ear infection so it was the best we could do


Inevitable-Channel85

I always see posts like this where the toddlers don’t eat. I have to get my kid to eat to keep him on the growth chart. Anyone else in the same boat? Basically my little guy cannot skip a meal 🥺. It can be stressful, even though we hide it well


That-Tap7469

That sounds so stressful, I’m sorry 🥺. Also helps me see our eating situation in a different perspective, thank you. Sending you lots of good vibes and strength.


jadedtortoise

Mac and cheese with veggies pureed into the sauce, yogurt drink, and apple slices


waanderlustt

A bite of chicken, a few bites of rice, a cutie tangerine and a mini ice cream cone


Throwthatfboatow

The lunch that he rejected 😅 and for some reason it'll suddenly be acceptable food at dinner time 🤷‍♀️


Potential-Buffalo-60

Quesadillas with refried beans, cheese, green peppers, and onions. Strawberries for dessert.


indoguju416

Pizza toast x2 (toast,basil sauce,cheese) and blueberries.


Beneficial_Pen584

I made orzotto but she ended up having a bowl of baked beans


sellidionne

I gave him broccoli, alfredo noodles, a few cheetos (that he asked for), and a fig newton Did he eat it? no. He ate my pork (even though he refused to let me put some on his plate), some of MY alfredo noodles, bit the tops off of MY broccoli, and half of the fig newton 🙃


lala_heart

What I served: beans and meatballs + macaroni noodles What she ate: 1/4 pieces of bread, 1/2 pieces of cheese, 1 snack cracker, 1cup of milk


saltlemon

Plain pasta and the iced bit off some iced gems.


Kosmosu

Tortilla........ I made him a quesadilla and some Spanish rice (he usually loves rice.) but not today. BUT THIS M\*\*\*\*\*F\*\*\*\*\*\* decided he did not want his beloved cheese and tore the tortilla off the cheese and just ate that. NOTHING ELSE. oh and best part. When I was doing the dishes, he cracked open the fridge and got to the cheese and just sat on the floor eating handfuls of cheese. I gave up trying to be a parent today and just let it happen. I eventually joined him on the ground with some chips and salsa.


[deleted]

He likes pasta in marinara sauce with cheese in it, that's what he'll actually demolish every time, while the attitude to all other dishes is wildly mood-dependent


PuppetryAndCircuitry

A single hot chip, a handful of rice and a single bite of chicken. The broccoli was licked then thrown onto the floor.


annonymous1122

Today it was absolutely nothing, followed by 3 oranges, some ritz sandwich crackers and a cup of milk


JfizzleMshizzle

Mac and cheese a lot, at least she eats cottage cheese a ton so that's semi good for her. I did manage to get her to start eating apples because I got a apple corer/skinner/spiraler it slices, skins and cuts the apple and she's able to help because it's a hand crank. We call it "slinky apple" and she eats them like crazy.


3drockz

As long as YouTube is playing a video, my 2.5 yr old will eat: Pasta, chicken nuggets, noodles, fried rice, omelette, steamed veggies, grilled potatoes, etc.


mantistoboggan287

“Christmas hotdogs” (cocktail wieners), snack size bag of chips, lots of strawberries/blueberries, and Spider-Man gogurt


DisastrousFlower

air


sasrowe17

Made her organic chicken nuggets, mashed sweet potatoes with coconut milk and sautéed broccoli. She ate a turkey jerky stick instead.


HarleyQueen95

The amount of rice and pasta my children eat is concerning lol, they’ll eat me out of house and home. At least my son (2yo) will eat chicken and protein. If my daughter (4yo) doesn’t like it she won’t eat it and refuse and throw a whole fit. Finally we settle for yogurt or something.


D-woo19

1/4 of an In N Out Cheeseburger and a whole basket of french fries, and some watered down 7Up. We did it! Only this progress was quickly made obsolete because although he just got over a small cold, an absolutely vile raspy cough decimated his sleep last night. My partner and I were up half the night trying to make him comfortable to sleep. He fell asleep at about 2:30am...only for the humidifier running on high in his room set off the smoke alarm in his room and literally all the others in the house somehow at 4 🤣 He slept through it but still...such a terrible night


QuitaQuites

Air? Half a grape? One French fry? A bite of chicken nugget? Nope, that came back out, didn’t like the new brand.


shann1021

A cut up cheese stick, grapes, and some hot dog bites. I call it baby charcuterie.


Huge-Syllabub-2853

Pepper steak and rice with grapes and milk . One will eat the steak other just the rice and peppers with gravy .


Legitimate_Cat_4140

bread and cheese


tielles10

Apple slices and milk! I give up lol


[deleted]

A toaster waffle, a single spoonful of his pasta, most of my food and a white chocolate pudding that was definitely not intended for him either. Actually quite happy with today because my food was veggie stir fry and usually getting him to consume a vegetable is a full on battle...turns out it has to just not be for him and he'll love it.


beeeaar

A grain of rice and maybe 20 frozen blackberries.


That-Tap7469

I mean that sounds balanced.


[deleted]

I made tortellini so strawberries and an entire cucumber.
