Does anyone have any good recipes for a two year old?

he will only eat pasta and chips!!!Does anyone have any good recipes for a two year old?
I don't have recipes for you, but here are some easy meal ideas...





Breakfast:


cheese omelet


waffles, pancakes or French toast


cold or hot cereal





Lunch:


chicken nuggets


hot dogs


pasta





Dinners:


my son just loves meatloaf and sloppy joes


baked chicken


spaghetti and meatballs





Snacks/side dishes:


fruits


veggies (my son loves broccoli because we told him they are little trees)


applesauce


yogurt


string cheese


wheat thin crackers


nutrigrain barsDoes anyone have any good recipes for a two year old?
';Ants on a log';;)





Celery sticks


Peanut butter


Raisins





Cut the celery up into fine sticks,spread the Pb up the length of them,and simply add the 'ants'(raisins).
If he only eats pasta and chips I would say:





Preheat oven to 200c, cook 15mins per lb and baste every 30mins until golden brown and juices run clear.





Serving suggestions: same as pork - roast potatoes, mashed sweede, stuffing and a nice thick gravy!! Hehe





One thing that I used to love as a child (and still do) is lasagne and a nice crispy salad.
For kids that are fussy eaters I would suggest getting them involved in the cooking. I know two may seem young for this so obviously the cooking has to be fairly simple! Try doing a salad face or making your own pizza - your child could do his/her own topping if you cut up various things and put them into bowls. Fairy cakes too are very easy and fun to do with a young child. Then you can use a bit of bribery by saying eat all your dinner and then we can have one of your lovely cakes!
i like my 2year olds B%26amp;Q
WOW! Sounds like a great diet! I dont know of any recipes with pasta and chips in it....sorry!
You can go on Recipezaar.com, there's plenty of recipes on the website.





One more thing talk to your Pediatrician!
gnochi!
No matter how naughty your two year old gets, you mustn't cook him!
Beef Stew w/ potatoes, carrots, peas. turnip and a nice thick broth, they usually love that. Spaghetti with the veggies cut up super small so he can't see them. Chicken Noodle soup with those animal shaped crackers in it. Have you tried seafood fettucine. You have to introduce new and cool things for him to try all the time, they can be very picky.
Try out the website below.





Maybe he will like the pan fried potatoes, or the pancake soup.


All the children I know love it. It is German.
You can make macaroni and cheese with browned ground turkey, add a little bit of taco seasoning to the meat after you have browned the meat and mix together. If you allow him to eat chips, try and give him Ritz crackers that are baked, a lot healthier and he wont know the difference. My son loves rice cakes, I get them in cheese flavor, and he loves them.
My two year old is the same way. Exact same way! He only likes spaghetti, chips, and fruit!





Since my two year old son doesn't like veggies, I buy that new V8 splash made from fruit and veggies. It tastes fruity so he loves it and he doesn't know he's getting a serving of veggies with every cup!





He also loves bread. So I buy that whole weat breakfast bread (different varieties- there's blueberry, cinnamon and raisin, and I think a few others...he loves it!)





Have you tried cutting his sandwhiches into shapes with cookie cutters? My kids like this.





If your really worried about his eating habits, try buying pediasure or generic brand pediatric drinks for toddlers. I give my son one pediasure a day during the days he's extremely picky. (he loves the chocolate flavored) and I don't stress too much about what he's ';not'; eating.





Also, once a child turns two, they don't grow as fast as they did from infancy to toddlerhood and their appetites change a little.





Just try to give him varieties and if he's hungry, he'll eat it. If he only get's his favorite foods, he'll never know to enjoy new foods.





I hope this helps. I'm sure you can find better information from americanbaby.com, babytalk.com, and especially your pediatrician.





Good luck and God Bless!
Anything with icecream on it.
you need to let him try lots of different things, there may be things he will like but he hasn't tried yet, fish pie, lasagne etc. also mash up veg with his food so he cant see it but still gets the vitamins. don't give in to a fussy eater!
make a suger and cinnomon samndwich. take a piece of bread and put butter on it. sprinkel sugar and cinnomon on the butter and tosat it in the oven. put the 2 haves on top of each other.





good luck!! www.recipes.com
