FYI for myself


Joseph often gets labeled a picky eater, so today I actually wrote down his food preferences (don't judge us here--we've tried many new foods and so much is wated), and here they are:
Things Joseph actually eats:
White milk
Grape juice (strongly diluted)
Apple juice (strongly diluted)
Cherries
Bananas
Grapes
Blueberries (sometimes)
Cantaloupe
Watermelons
Chobani berry yogurt
Rice/gravy (rarely meat)
Blueberry pancakes
Butter/syrup sandwiches-we use sun butter
Onion rings
Veggie chips (straws)
Pringles pizza sticks (Ancy)
Motts brand fruit chews
Nutrigrain apple cereal bars
French fries
Chicken nuggets
Ice cream (!!!)
Goldfish and pb crackers
Pizza
Cookies
Chips (ESP BBQ lays)
Cereal/milk (a little bit)
A little of baked or fried fish
Bread (white, wheat makes his face red)
Favorite drinks are water, white milk,and diluted apple juice.
The apple juice is the only way he takes his oral rxmeds.
He strongly dislikes
Pickles
Olives
Soft drinks/tea
Strawberries
Cold veggies
Cold cuts/ lunch meat/hot dogs

Does anyone else's child flat out refuse to even try veggies (cooked or raw). What do you do or do you supplement with a veggie juice (?)?

  1. Wheat makes his face red...I would strongly recommend removing wheat from diet just to see what happens. White bread is actually easier to digest than wheat...But they can still cause the same reactions excema etc....I know you don't want to hear it. :( At this time I wouldn't go crazy trying to replace his wheat with substitutions.

    Lunch ideas--

    chicken, sausages, chicken sausages, burgers without the bun, deviled egg, chicken salad, tuna salad, avocado/guacamole, black beans, pinto beans & salsa....pair with whatever fruit etc....

    I don't really get crazy...I just offer food -- they eat what they want but they get nothing else other then what I offer...I put lots of real butter and good celtic salt on veggies. :) Peas are a HUGE hit right now. I find that H has texture issues, food has to be separated, cut small -- no casseroles...etc...She is fickle. Eats raw liver but doesn't care for ground beef. LOL Crazy kid!
