I have a picky eater that I have to cook for every night in my house. It gets harder each time. So, I have come up with a few creative ways to get picky eaters to eat and eat and eat some more.
1: Try finger foods. Most kids love foods that they can pick up and play with.
2:Try to present the food to your child in a fun and creative way. Remember, presentation is just as important as preperation.
3: Take your child along on a trip to the supermarket or farmers market. Out of all the foods you cn find there, have your child pick 10 yummy fruits and vegetables they would be willing to try and eat.
4: Have your child make a list of the foods that they love. Using this list, create several different meals. You should think about including your kid in the preperation of these meals. There is always room for a kid in the kitchen.
5: Maybe you could have your child pick one fruit or vegetable for the whole family to try. This can be your fruit of the week.
Note; I love tip number 5. I try and pick out a new, wierd fruit every time I go to the store. I always find something new to try. If you take the time to look, you will be surprised at what you can find at your local super market. I found cactus leaves, which were actually pretty good, at a Food Lion right down the street.
6: Maybe it’s time to ease off on the pressure to try different things. Your childs food taste may seem odd to you but if the meals are balanced, maybe you should just let your kid have their way. There will be bigger things for you to worry about.
If you follow these simple tips, your kid will be stuffing their face full of new and interesting foods in no time!

How many of you have heard of the new Subway breakfast menu? We had company in over the weekend, and I wanted to sleep in. I was woken up around 8:30 AM and told to get dressed, that we were heading out for breakfast. We all pile into the car and start driving. We pull into a parking space in front of subway, and I don’t think my eyes could have gotten any wider! Subway? For breakfast?!?!
That was the first and last time I will go to Subway for breakfast. I just have one word for that food, NASTY!
First thing I noticed, there were very few choices! I couldn’t believe it! There were only 5 different choices posted on the breakfast menu! I like to have choices! I can be a picky eater. Doesn’t happen often, but I have my moments! And that morning was one of the times where I wanted to try something DIFFERENT! I like to think outside of the box when it comes to food. I couldnt do that here. Oh Well….
I finally decided to try the steak, egg and cheese sandwhich with monterey cheddar cheese(if you’re like me, you would just say,”Tex Mex Cheese!”) on Subways Flatbread.
Sounds good, right? WRONG! It tasted very, for lack of a better word, rubbery. And I’m not talking about the texture, although it did have a certain rubbery feel to it, it tasted, again, for lack of a better word, fake.
I drenched it in ranch dressing and forced myself to eat it.
I think the only good part about the Subway breakfast is that it was low fat and had about half the calories of a Egg McMuffin from McDonalds.
For the sandwhich I ordered there were 170 calories(not including the ranch dressing) and 4.5 grams of fat.
As opposed to the 300 calories and 12 grams of fat found in an Egg McMuffin.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Subway. Just not their breakfast!
