Anything can happen
There’s so much to say on cooking for toddlers and up. SO here’s some advice and then tips.
Erase dinner arguments over food. I can tell you it isn’t worth it and the aggravation will help YOU gain weight. Forget what Mom told you. Long ago I did an experiment. I cooked very healthy food, and then shut my mouth. The children had choices and could choose to eat as much as they wanted. Little bellies are often filled faster than you think. Within a short time since the war was over, they chose a variety of foods. Read on for more ideas.
Cooking for Little Ones (hot topic)
Cooking for toddlers and growing children presents some unique challenges along the way. While you want to provide them with those ever so important nutrients, it is often difficult to get them to eat those foods that are best for their growing bodies. We are all probably well aware of the food pyramid and the number of servings our children need of healthy grains, proteins, fruits, vegetables, and calcium products. Getting them to eat these nourishing products is another matter all together unfortunately.
Make snacks building blocks for nutrients. Have a variety of ruits and veggies pre-cut and ready for snacks. Fron thinly sliced cucumbers to watermelon chunks, kids will learn to enjoy and ask for healthy treats. If they don’t want the carrots or celery sticks, give them the option of adding some nut butter, cream cheese or yougurt. If they aren’t interested her, create a small smoothie with a little protein powder. (Avoid powders sweetened with sugar)
