Julienne’s Mom (31 wks!) asked:


I like to think that my 14 month old eats fairly healthy, but I;m not going to lie and pretend that she doesn’t occasionally have a snack or meal that’s not 100% nutritious. However, I can’t help but shudder as I see toddlers being pushed around in strollers eating a bag of cheetos or chips and a big bottle of Kool-aid! That’s nothing but sugar, sodium, and fat, and they’re not even walking off the calories!

I also don’t think its right to deny your little one special treats and snacks like ice cream now and then. Its not gonna kill them. I’m curious to see what your kids (around 10-30 months but it doesn’t really matter) eat! Be as brief or long winded as you like. Here’s a sample of my 14 month old’s menu:

Breakfast

Sliced bananas with wheat germ
Multi grain waffles
Canned fruit
Multi-grain cheerios, regular cheerios, other cereal
A whole apple, peeled
Sliced fruit to dip in yogurt
Graduates cereal bars
Scrambled eggs

Lunch or Dinner

Baked sweet potato
Baked pork chops
Mashed potatos
Steamed mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn, butternut squash, green beans, lima beans)
Corn tortillas and refried beans
Chicken breast, sliced, breaded, and baked (a healthier alternative to chicken nuggets) to dip in ketchup, BBQ,

or marinara sauce
Wholewheat pasta (chopped spaghetti, or small shapes like penne and wagon wheels to pick up) in sauce with mini

meatballs (ground beef or lean ground turkey)
Rice and steamed veggies in a cheesy sauce
Corn on the cob (lots of fun!)
Gerber and Beechnut microwave meals for when you just don’t have time
Turkey w/ mustard, tuna, Simply JIF Peanut Butter & Jelly, sandwiches on multigrain bread cut into quarters
Breadsticks to dip in marinara sauce
Avocado
Plain oatmeal with a little bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and granola (no raisins,

they’re a choking hazard)
Breaded chicken breast stuffed with mozarella and spinach and baked
Slow-cooked pork shoulder, pulled into strips. This is very easy to eat and can be used for so many recipes

such as sandwiches or seasoned mexican style on corn tortillas with guacamole.
Flank steak roasted in the oven with veggies, potatos, and mushrooms

Snacks

Fruit to dip in yogurt
Kashi TLC multigrain veggie crackers
Kashi TLC multigrain cookies or cereal bars
Quakers mini rice cakes (cheddar or apple cinnamon flavor)
Low fat string cheese
Lunchables JR. (comes with crackers, turkey, and mozzarella)
Prunes (Be very careful not to eat too many! One a day is enough, but they have wonderful health properties)
Instead of ice cream, try frozen yogurt

Beverage

Rice milk
Danimals yogurt drinks
Milk, a little nesquick powder, and a banana mixed in a blender (you can also add cheerios!)
Orange juice, mixed fruit juice, or Juicy Juice Harvest Surprise fruit juice with carrot juice + 50% water
Chamomile tea sweetened with orange juice instead of sugar and watered down (great for bed time!)
Peppermint, lemon, and other herbal teas (make sure that they are normal herbs that are safe!)

Hopefully we can get ideas and learn from each other!

I got some cheese and milk. flour and sugar and garlic and lemon pepper and basil and oregeno and blackening seasoning and montreal steak seasoning. Bread crumbs. eggs. sliced ham. ketchup. buns and bread. ramen noodles, spaghetti (but no sauce), pepperoni, hot sauce, instant potatoes, chicken and beef base, sour cream, milk, butter, orange juice, tortilla shells, soy sauce, bacon, ritz crackers and frozen green beans. I need a balanced meal for 5 people! Any ideas??

We ate at an Italian restaurant here and my son had this spaghetti dish that was wonderful. I would like to make this for him, but cannot find a recipe. I asked and the restuarant said it is family recipe and would not give it out.

It did not have your typical tomato sauce for spaghetti.

It had oil, garlic, italian sausage, mushrooms, and other spices. It did have egg in it according to the menu, but you couldn’t tell at all. It did not have any egg flavor whatsoever.

I tried a carbonara recipe on allrecipes.com which I thought was similiar, but it was no where near the same. So I don’t think this was a carbonara.

Just wondering if anyone happen to ever hear of this and knows how to make it. Thanks for your help!!

Like many families, we have a few favorite recipes that we tend to use over and over again. But I’m getting a bit bored and would love to add 2-3 new recipes. Any suggestions?
These are what we usually have:
1. spaghetti with eggplant/zucchini sauce
2. fried rice (with veggies and/or eggs)
3. bean and veggie chili
4. Indian dhal over rice
5. majedera (a Lebanese rice and lentil dish topped with caramelized onions)
6. green beans in tomato sauce served over rice (my preschoolers actually ate this!)

I’m open to dishes containing milk or egg products, but preferably not relying on a lot of cheese. And also no meat analogs since these aren’t available where we live.

Thanks for your suggestions!
