Tasty Treats for Picky Eaters
I like to think that I got pretty lucky with my daughter. Although she did go through a 'picky' phase as an infant because she detested jarred baby food and baby cereals with a fervor that I would never have thought possible of a 6-month-old, it didn't last long. I gave up on the jarred stuff and just started throwing a portion of my meal into the blender for her until she could chew the more solid stuff and she was happy. In fact, she became the opposite of a picky eater - she would try whatever was put in front of her. If she removed it directly from my plate, even better - it pretty much guaranteed she would want more of what I was eating. Now she is 9 and her favorite foods include everything from ramen noodles to lobster (which she called monster until she was four). She loves pizza, mac and cheese, and sushi. For my little girl, the only foods she avoids are the ones she can't eat because they make her sick... because that is the one place I didn't ...
