LO loves chicken mcnuggets, so I make this instead as a healthier version. I make a large batch and freeze them. He seems to like Asian spices so I'll pan fry tilapia with Asian spices for him. Fortunately he does like tomatoes and he'll eat meat sauce so we make that a lot. Mac and cheese is also a favorite of his. I made a dish my mom used to make when I was young, steamed chicken with shiitake mushrooms - he doesn't like the mushrooms but the mushrooms give he chicken a lot of flavor so he ate that. He likes steamed eggs which is kind of like chawanmushi. Getting him to eat veggies is something we're still working on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-meal-ideas-for-toddlers#post-207991 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 13:31:21 +0000 mrstilly 207991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a cookbook for toddler meals is a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-meal-ideas-for-toddlers#post-207985 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 13:17:26 +0000 chopsuey 207985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish Lo ate more Korean!

So we always end up going back to Korean food since he eats it best (I always have some on hand because I cook in batches and freeze), and I really want him to eat less soup and rice.</p> <p>Food has been a real challenge in our house. Mr. Bee eats a lot of salmon/tilapia, legumes, salad -- all things Charlie does not eat, so we end up making different meals. </p> <p>I seriously need recipes for your LO's absolute favorite dishes. Anything that doesn't involve tomatoes, as Charlie has never touched anything that had even a little bit of tomatoes in it (even pizza and spaghetti!)</p> <p>Maybe we could even pull together a Hellobee cookbook generated by our community! Real recipes by real moms (for really picky toddlers!) :) </p>
