Hot Cross Buns Easter week would not be complete without hot cross buns! As they are sweet and bread-like they are a good option for expanding a fussy eater’s repertoire. If dried fruit is a no you can leave out or substitute for choc chips, for example. I would leave at least a little of […]

Yoghurt pouches – good idea for a picky eater?

Blogs, Fun food ideas for fussy eaters, Yoghurt

Yoghurt pouches I thought I’d start the week with a bit of a soapbox spiel, but done with the best of intentions! I get how convenient yoghurt pouches are and also how much children love them. But for picky eaters especially I would be advising that they only get used occasionally. Why?: 1. Our child

Blogs, Fun food ideas for fussy eaters, Rice

Rice paper rolls I LOVE making these with children. I have done sessions in schools with whole tables set up with everyone filling and wrapping. Even if you have a child who doesn’t eat them yet, they are fun to make. On the plate is a full-on one with marinated chicken, sliced cucumber and carrot,

Bananas, Blogs, Fun food ideas for fussy eaters

Bananas on… Mixing foods can be quite a challenge for many children, not just fussy eaters! Learning to mix foods, even favourites, is an important skill. It can also be a way to make a less comfortable food more appealing. Adding bananas to toast or crackers or a favourite cereal, for example. Don’t be scared

Banana pops I love bringing fun into food and especially to take the standard and make it seem a little ‘treaty’. These are super fun, simple, and you can tailor to your child. How to make banana pops I take a popsicle stick, cut it in half with scissors and then sandpaper the end to

Bananas, Blogs, Fun food ideas for fussy eaters

Banana ‘ice cream’ I love this. Super simple, no additions and perfect for really little ones through to teens (my teen loves the choc version). A frozen banana taken from the freezer, I defrost slightly to protect my ancient food processor and then whiz to make an ‘ice cream’. Eat straight away. Or go fancy

Bananas, Blogs, Fun food ideas for fussy eaters

Banana bread Baking with bananas is a great way to give sweetness without using a lot of additional sweeteners. The negative is, that they also have a distinctive taste, so if they aren’t yet in the comfort zone, it can be a harder sell. I love baking with fruit as it can be an easier

Adding spinach Using nano amounts of spinach on familiar foods can be a way to take a step forwards. A few things can help: 1. The smaller the better. In fact, these are too large and too many for where I would start if introducing to an extremely picky eater. 2. Give our child some

Spinach ‘sandwiches’ Offering spinach on its own is good, but often making it that little bit different draws interest. Interest is better than ignoring! The photo is not great but shows: 1. Spinach on tomatoes – you can always add mayo/parmesan/edam or other things that rock. Even though we serve together if they are eaten

Spinach muffins I cooked these as I love muffins for their simplicity. Chuck everything in the food processor and mix, pour into muffin cases and bake. The perfect thing to bake with children as you can’t ‘muff’ them up. But this could easily be cup cakes or pancakes or cookies with spinach blended in. The

Choc-spinach smoothie I want to start by saying that I am not a fan of hiding things in food at all. It’s an easy way to break trust and to inadvertently introduce fears too. Imagine finding a hair in your smoothie, that’s what hidden spinach could feel like to a hesitant eater! But I am
