It’s amazing the things kids will and won’t eat. They start off with milk and then are transitioned to things pureed. It doesn’t matter what, they’ll eat it. Pureed spinach? Yep. Pureed meatball? Yep. Pureed Mac and Cheese? Yet. And then they hit 18 months and start getting picky. All of a sudden food they liked the day before is comida non grata. This post is dedicated to the weird food combinations and statements my kids have liked and made…

Likes…

• Peanut butter and cheese
• Butter and cheese
• Peanut butter by itself
• Banana and peanut butter (not a bad combination, but it makes the list because the child thinks banana by itself is disgusting)
• Peanut butter and popcorn
• Liking the table (“it tastes good”)
• Cherry tomatoes
• Raw pizza dough (takes after me)
• Licking the butter wrapper
• Licking the Mac and Cheese cheese flavor wrapper

Doesn’t like…

• Refuses to touch hamburger (“It’s too spicy”)
• Refuses to touch blueberries (except to throw them away)
• Starts to eat an orange slice and then spits it out… every time. And then asks for another one.
• Ice cream is too cold and not good?
• Bagel toasted with cream cheese… then tries it and loves it… then wants it “regular” again.
• Candy with nuts in it.
• Any form of green herb in the food (“it’s too spicy”)

Cheers,
