She ate 2 bites of matzo ball and declared she was done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread/page/2#post-2724402 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 13:06:00 +0000 Adira 2724402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I gave the kids chicken nuggets, sausage links, strawberries, grapes, and watermelon (I know, no veggies, oops).</p> <p>Xander ate all his fruit and half his chicken nuggets and sausage. Logan ate one strawberry and one bite of one chicken nugget. Guess who's getting his left-overs tonight?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread/page/2#post-2724310 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 10:04:56 +0000 smocks 2724310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was great, ate all the fake homemade chipotle burrito bowl I threw together (probably a cup worth of food).</p> <p>DS on the other hand refused that, screamed until I caved and gave him a granola bar. And a gummy vitamin :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread/page/2#post-2724292 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:40:53 +0000 krispi 2724292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I made a Stouffer's frozen family dinner (fancy, I know!) that was cheesy chicken, noodles, and broccoli. My 20 month old ate a bowl of that plus a handful of raw carrot sticks, and she had a couple of crackers as a snack before dinner. I was feeling generous and let her have some juice with dinner too, which she only gets 1-2 times a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724267 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:10:48 +0000 snowjewelz 2724267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had take-out last night. DD's favorite thing ever is eggroll so she ate the whole thing mins the hard ends. There are veggies in eggrolls so I consider that a win, haha! </p> <p>She hate some lo-mein, babycorn and some broccoli. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724249 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 08:36:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 2724249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: Not always, but about 3-4 times a week.

Chicken veggie soup with multigrain rice mixed in. He housed his soup and pineapple and ate more watermelon and a glass of milk. He did not get ice cream - instead had 2 Yakult drinks in the bath. </p> [attach=1472/17/oodsf0.600x600.IMG_3848.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724163 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 22:22:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2724163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: that sounds like what my DD has for lunch almost every day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724149 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 21:49:19 +0000 justjules 2724149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight E (17mo) had grilled chicken, a cheese stick, and an apple/carrot pouch.

A bunch of maraschino cherries, mini Hershey kisses, and 3 cubes of pound cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724146 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 21:41:45 +0000 caterw 2724146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (3.5) had about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of homemade mac and cheese, a bunch of steamed broccoli, and a few bites of grilled pork chop. DH's buddies from work brought a TON of leftovers from a cookout or else it would have just been Mac and cheese! She also ate the icing off of carrot cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724145 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 21:28:30 +0000 wrkbrk 2724145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: Umm every night is basically the same? SLices of deli turkey, some cheese, some blueberries, a few wheat thins, milk, some bites if yogurt. Oh and tonight 3 junior mints from his Easter Basket :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724138 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 21:10:29 +0000 Dahlia 2724138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We served DD a small bowl of lentil sloppy joes, tater tots, a few green beans, and some cooked carrots. She ate all the lentils and tots and 1.5 green beans. Wouldn't touch the carrots. She also had 2 clementines while I was cooking. A good night for her eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724137 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 21:04:54 +0000 delight 2724137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: that's adorable. Do you always do fun dinners like that?</p> <p>We were out late shopping and didn't have a lot of time to eat before bedtime. DD had an open face PB &amp; Banana sandwich and fruit salad. I'll have to up her veggie intake tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724125 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:49:04 +0000 Anagram 2724125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to an "upscale food court" I'd been wanting to try in Battery Park, so the kids split half a bbqd chicken, and had sides of mac n cheese and rice. Not super healthy, but super tasty and they ate well! They both had broccoli at lunch and fruit for breakfast, so I think overall their day was good.</p> <p>And mama was happy because I didn't have to cook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724123 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:44:21 +0000 lady baltimore 2724123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annie's Shells &amp; Cheese with peas was the main dish - DD ate her portion and several bites of mine (which had salsa mixed in).</p> <p>Pre-dinner snacks (to allow me to cook dinner) were carrot sticks (she rejected the ones with hummus), frozen peas (teething), grape tomatoes, and edamame, and dessert was dried mango. </p> <p>In contrast, she had only pizza crusts for lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724122 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:43:42 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2724122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well tonight as actually a hit and I think we are in a growth spurt. So ds asked for carrots and chicken. So I roasted carrots and chicken. Also half a piece of bread with butter and corn on the cob. He ate it all!! </p> <p>DD (9 months) had a few bites of chicken and carrot. Half a pb and j sandwich. Corn. Yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724121 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:43:22 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2724121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: we are having a big finger fail here tonight!! Planned on mapo dofu, rice, and side veggies. Cooked the meat and realized the tofu was 10 days expired. It must have expired a couple days after I bought it. 😳 So all the meat we could get on the table quick was Portuguese sausage out of the freezer. So I cut that up and gave them more veggies than I planned. My younger one drank a lot of milk though, probably not loving dinner tonight. They ate overall ok though. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724101 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:10:19 +0000 MsMini 2724101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, it's a late dinner night because we are waiting for DH to come home so I let them eat all the candy from their daycare Easter treat hunt (a couple Easter eggs full of chocolate and jelly beans) washed down with a yogurt drink 😂 ... then turkey meatballs with ramen noodles in a browned butter/miso sauce with roasted veggies once Daddy comes home.<br /> ETA- likely DS will eat 2-4 broccoli florets with 2 meatballs and a couple bites of noodles. DD will eat a handful of pepper pieces and 2 meatballs and a couple noodles.</p> <p>[attach=1297/17/oodkl8.450x600.IMG_0371.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724096 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:02:05 +0000 Smurfette 2724096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babypugs: winner winner chicken dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724095 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:01:49 +0000 Smurfette 2724095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: impressive those are her favorite foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724092 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 19:59:53 +0000 babypugs 2724092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my first week back to work after maternity leave... my 3yo had a pizza lunchable and cookie cake.

DD is mostly past the throwing plate phase as long as I take her seriously when she signs all done. Otherwise she still throws her plate on the ground.</p> <p>@MrsADS: @Smurfette: she had spaghetti os a couple nights ago and gets boxed macaroni and cheese with frozen peas thrown in at least once a week. </p> <p>DD did decide she was hungry again before bed so she ate a little more carrots and some chicken. Then she asked for a banana so I fed her bites while she ran around the kitchen playing. I also gave her a piece of chocolate out of an Easter egg she got at school today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724082 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 19:39:06 +0000 nana87 2724082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: that's an adorable plate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inspired-by-the-dirty-little-secrets-thread#post-2724080 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 19:27:46 +0000 Smurfette 2724080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: that is what I was thinking. </p> <p>She had Mac n cheese, hot dog, and grapes.
