@codeitall: that’s so exciting!!

My oldest ate a plain hot dog on a bun this week and DH and I were celebrating!! That may seem silly, but he’s struggled with textures and combining foods.

Our youngest (2) got to go with me to the grocery store quickly last week and all he wanted was red bell peppers, tomatoes, and avocados.

ETA not particularly shocking choices but we are at least raising veggie lovers!

For my oldest, also potstickers! I was surprised that he really likes them and I keep a bag on hand all of the time now. My two year old ate an entire slice of pizza last night and I was thrilled. He’s super picky and only eats a handful of things so when we have pizza I can usually only get him to eat a bite or two. Last night was a whole slice with zero crying, whining, or yelling (from either of us).

My 7 year old was begging for tofu recently. It's not something I buy regularly so I was surprised and asked her what made her think of tofu? After quite a discussion I figured out she meant steamed pork buns/char siu bao. I'm glad I figured that one out because she would not be pleased if I had presented her with a block of tofu. She was happy with the char siu bao.

DS has been pretty adventurous lately mainly to show up DD. Last night he ate some of the Hungarian paprika chicken stew I made. Not that adventurous but it looked and smelled different than the dishes I usually make.

My 15 month old ate bok choy tonight!

My 2 year old loves olives. Yesterday he asked for and ate garlic stuffed green olives. He wanted more!

DS1 is usually a pretty awesome eater but we were even surprised when he loved the raw ahi tuna from an app that DH and I ordered. He also loves the liverwurst sausage on crackers that DH eats that come on, no. Yet the kid doesn't like tomato sauce on his spaghetti. Can't win them all.

DS2, on the other hand, told me that taste and texture of a cinnamon muffin yesterday was unnecessary. Honestly, I was just happy he tried it. He's the one that my parents regularly tell me is payback. I deserve it.

My 7 year old is thankfully not picky, but she has strong feelings about spicy food. We ordered Indian food from a new place yesterday, and got her her typical order, chicken tikka, and my husband ordered it mild as he always does. Well, this place's definition of mild was spicy even for me, and I can handle spicy pretty well. I decided to give it to her anyway and not say anything. Lo and behold, she ate it all and asked for more!
