Tomato ketchup-sauce

I know many parents pull their hair out over their child’s ketchup ‘addiction’. However, I have a few positive things to counter-balance:

1. Ketchup is tomatoes – vegetables in any form is a good first step
2. Dips can be a good way to segue to new foods
3. Anything that brings pleasure is a plus

If you have a child that drowns everything in ketchup, an easy way to reduce the quantity without constant debate is to have a bowl on the table with the amount for that meal (rather than a full bottle).

If we have a child that’s not yet eating sauce then a tiny bowl to dip into can scaffold a new step.

Our child can dip anything from noodles, carrots, chicken to cheese.

I have made a really simple sauce here (it’s pretty yum) from tomato paste, water and a little honey. Perhaps this an alternative for the ketchup eaters too, a bridge between ketchup and a regular tomato-based sauce.
