WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY ON FUSSY EATERS #2

My two year old will not eat veg at all, but loves soup..so in the veggies go 🙂

..or grate the veg into a meal/sauce.

I was going to say soup or my Mum made savoury mince the other night and grated all the veg into it – my 4 year old LOVED it, normally he won’t eat anything that has cooked veg in it!

a good website is… www.wholesometoddlerfood.com.
Also if he has a fav food make it and add a new veg (that he dont like either grated or finely chopped) to the recipe. The website suggests adding noodles, sauce or grated cheese to a meal ur child is refusing to eat. Lol my daughter had curried sausages topped with a little tomato sauce friday night! Urgh!

i find with my monkey that rather than trying to get a few veg or more into one meal, i’ll do someting like potato and cauli soup (pureed) or potato flan (also has creamed corn in it) over the course of the week. Still gets plenty of veg in what I make, just spread out more.

I make wholemeal pancakes and add grated carrot, zucchini and apple – I make a big batch and freeze them. My daughter loooooves them!

when u make lasagne or bolognese puree a whole help of vegies mix it in with the meat sauce an u cant taste a thing..

Oh, and it sounds awful, but I have had success with grating carrot or zuchini into ‘fruit salad icypoles’ with other fruits and water. He loves them!

When i make Spag Bog i grate in any veg i have. They love it and they dont know how many veg i have packed into the sauce.

I have an awesome recipe for mini chicken sausage rolls that have spring onion, garlic, zucchini and carrot in them but the kids never know! Let me know if you would like the recipe 😉

I to have a 2yr old that want eat vegies, i make him vegie spring rolls, veg ravaolli & sausage rolls with vegies in it, works wonders i know how frustrating it can be goodluck 🙂

did you see the episode with masterchef where they put mashed veges in with the sausage meat to make sausage rolls?

You can do this for sweet potato, brocolli etc.. just steam and reduce water.. add a little butter if you want and puree, but make sure it’s not too wet a mixture. Add this as your binding ingredient to the mince.

I posted a Recipe for chicken patties that are packed with veg a while back. I will see if i can find it… my son (2yrs) and Daughter (1yr) LOVE them.

Ooo i forgot that that would post as Cooking for busy mums…LOL the above message is from {Trace}

Kids Chicken Patties
(so yummy you will eat them too)

Makes 24 handful sized patties
… See More
1 chicken breast
2 c frozen veg defrosted (i used broc carrot and cauli cause that’s what it had)
2 eggs
3-4 c boiled spud
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1 box of chicken stuffing mix

Put everything except the stuffing mix into the blender and blitzed it adding a small amount of water to keep it moving. in a bowl add the chicken mix and stuffing mix, combine. make hand full size patties and fry in a pan.

I found if i let the mix rest for 10 mins it wasn’t so sticky.
You could make bite size ones too. I cooked the lot and will freeze the left overs in seal bags.

Big fave at our house…mashed potatoes with vegies mashed into it….

we have that too ally, we call it multi mash, 1)cause its got multiple vegies in, and 2)cause its like a multi vitamin hit. i mash everything together, from potato, sweet potato, carrots, pumpkin, swedes, turnip, parsnip, any root vegies. also for a hit at the dinner table i often use food coloring to liven the color up. kids love the green one, … See Moreapparently it tastes the best….lol… used the same idea to make the kids drink water when they were babies…few drops food coloring and they think its cordial….trust me it works.
