You can adapt your recipes to fit your toddler's eating style. For soups, make them chunky and then drain off the broth and let him practice with his fork on just the meat and veggie chunks. Instead of whole burritos or tacos, put the filling on his plate and give him some "scoop" shaped chips or break the shells into pieces so he can "dip" the fillings off his plate. Kids usually love pasta but instead of long strands of spaghetti use corkscrew pasta or macaroni which are easier to get on a fork.

Whatever recipes you commonly use can usually be adapted for toddlers if you think creatively! It's going to be messy, whatever he eats, but that's how they learn. The main thing is to make meal time a fun experience for him.

These are some recipes that are toddler-friendly:

For Breakfast
* Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

You will need:
3 eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk
pinch of pepper and/or garlic powder

How to do this:
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk them in a bowl until it becomes frothy then pour in a warmed frying pan. While the eggs are cooking, stir this. If the eggs are firm then it is done.
You can add vegetables or even crumbled turkey sausage to this recipe if desired.

For Lunch:
Traditional Grilled Cheese

1. Heat the frying pan and get 2 slices of cheese from the fridge
2. Lightly place butter on the slices of whole grain bread
3. When the frying pan is heated, put one slice of bread-butter down top with 2 slices of cheese and then top with remaining slice of bread and butter side up. Fry and turn the other side as needed until bread becomes golden and toasted.
You can hide meat or vegetables in the grilled cheese bread. You can put Turkey, Chicken, Cooked Broccoli, Carrot Slivers, Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes or even Green beans.

I'm not very good with the kiddie stuff but I did see thatRachael Ray made "sushi" on one of her shows recently. She cut the crusts off and flattened out a piece of whole wheat bread with a rolling pin so that it resembled a square tortilla. Then she spread on some peanut butter and rolled it around a banana in the center. She cut it into segments like you would cut a sushi roll. She said you could use any kind of spread- nutella or I think honey were some of her other suggestions.

When I think of what I would give to my kids I think of finger foods, simple foods and most things that can be dipped. You could try giving stuff a fun name as well and that might entice him or her to eat it.

My baby is nineteen months old and a picky eater. But this recipe below works well for her and my friends use it for their babies too.
