We tried tuna fish to the same refusal. Hopefully, we will be past the PB no J stage by kindergarten (sandwiches with jelly are also refused).<br /><br />@iamsam, I tried that when she was small with an egg carton, but it ended up upside down on the floor. I love the idea of having healthy snacks ready to go for a grazing toddler, though.Leah Wolff-Pellingrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646544681727297148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161667758264247240.post-13200467361614209012010-06-24T16:11:52.891-04:002010-06-24T16:11:52.891-04:00Hi!

What we do for our pre-preschooler is provide a six section muffin tin of healthy snacks that he grazes on throughout the day. An example would include cashews, cheerios, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, cucumber sticks, and bell pepper strips. If the tin is emptied, we fill it back up again.iamsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836608858390203375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161667758264247240.post-71433045696686153752010-06-24T08:52:55.427-04:002010-06-24T08:52:55.427-04:00I love Bread and Jam for Frances!

Sometimes my mom ran out of hot dogs and she would have to fry bologna and roll it up.<br />I would take a bet that the elementary schools in your district are completely peanut free. Maybe you can at least expand horizons into other nut butters. Variety is the spice of life ;)Bethiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876858508976222523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161667758264247240.post-43953533610889371172010-06-24T08:44:25.494-04:002010-06-24T08:44:25.494-04:00I love the picking dinner idea, but I have this hu...I love the picking dinner idea, but I have this hunch I know what the answer would be if I asked. We've been including her in picking up and putting away the vegetables from our CSA. Maybe we'll play off of that and see what comes.<br /><br />I've thought about the 'next meal breakfast' rule, but up until now she's just been too young to remember one meal to the next. We'll see where we end up.Leah Wolff-Pellingrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646544681727297148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161667758264247240.post-70364297434466112732010-06-23T22:51:54.746-04:002010-06-23T22:51:54.746-04:00Maybe I'm too much of a hard-ass (plus low wei...Maybe I'm too much of a hard-ass (plus low weight has never been an issue), but...if one of my kids passed on dinner, the next meal would be breakfast.<br /><br />I try to get them into the grocery store or to the farmer's market whenever possible to develop an interest in food. I also try to get them each to pick one dinner a week.Jon in Albanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766493068147115690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161667758264247240.post-82567060970719174672010-06-23T10:59:32.062-04:002010-06-23T10:59:32.062-04:00She turned 3 this May.

There's a book called "Bread and Jam for Frances" that we read when I was young and in what my mom calls the White Foods Stage of milk, pasta, bread and cheese. We shall have to make picky eater specific library run.Leah Wolff-Pellingrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646544681727297148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161667758264247240.post-20493952144346419502010-06-23T01:01:48.403-04:002010-06-23T01:01:48.403-04:00We had a book from the library recently called &qu...We had a book from the library recently called "The Peanut Free Cafe" in which the main character eats only PB sandwiches, green grapes, purple lollipops and one other food I can't recall. Until he can't sit in the fun peanut-free zone at school, where his new, peanut-allergic friend sits. It's a cute story about broadening your horizons with respect to food. You all might get a kick out of it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484059757109754980noreply@blogger.com
