yeah at this point I'm probably willing to do just about anything to get this kid to eat!

Good luck kitten, glad I'm through those years. Maybe some hot coffee to dip some pop tarts in

OK, here go the beans

Cadillac Baked Beans:

start with 2 cans of your fav bean(even vegi)
8oz. bacon (you can sub turkey bacon)
8oz. kalbasa(also sub turkey kalbasa)
8oz. chicken breast (yes you can use turkey too)
1 whole onion chopped
1-2 spoon full minced garlic
1/2 tsp. ground clove (optional, rather costly)
1 tsp. thyme (very important)

put the beans in the pot under low burner, add the ground clove and thyme.
cut the chicken and kalbasa into bite size pieces, as well as chop the onion.
fry up the bacon(cast iron skillet works best), not crispy, chewy (I add alittle brown sugar on it as I fry it). put aside to chop into bite size.
using the bacon grease, fry up the chicken with the minced garlic until chicken is done, then toss into your pot.
fry the kalbasa and onion the same way at least until the onion is cooked, add it to the pot with the bacon. when the beans are ready its ready.

I make this every time I go camping, my friends demand that I do. Its good eatin, just eat it in the dark.
The thyme is important because believe it or not it won't give you gas.

We used to make something similar to this but we called it chuckwagon stew. It had beans/hot dogs/ground beef and ketchup/mustard/brown sugar/spices. It was served over toast and the kids love it.

In chicago we call this sh%t on a shingle.

Sounds about right!......

My two kids are the pickiest eaters I have ever seen. No matter what I try I cannot get them to eat many vegetables. My daughter will eat mashed potatoes so sometimes I will mash some peas up with it and she eats green mash which is fun for her. Disguising the food they wont eat is the key. Vegetarian chicken nuggets work as well. They think that they are getting a good unhealthy meal but you know better. That and fruit. My kids can't get enough fruit; naturally sweet and tasty.

just put a slice of cheese on everything, it melts and makes it taste better.

That actually does work!

Try to make sometimes lost bread or potato pancakes with small peaces of appel or small peaces of baby cookies in it.

chicken nuggets from the store are pretty gross try this ..Ive made it for a lot of people and everyone including youngins have loved it...

chicken strips

4 breasts of chicken<slice in about i inch strips>
1 c. ritz crackers, crumbled
1/2 c. grater parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder or salt
1/2 cube margarine, melted

roll cleaned chicken breast strips in melted butter.
mixtogether crushed crackers, cheese and garlic salt.
roll the buttered chicken in the crumb mixture.
place on a cookie sheet.
bake at 350 for about oh 40 min turning once.
should be golden brown and a lil crispy on outside.

although... you have veggies on your list of wont eats.. ive never seen a child not like potatos.. try this..

mashed potatoes with mashed carrots mixed in it.

bisquick impossible pies are pretty easy to to get them to eat..

my youngest always loved vienna sausages in a can.. i may have spelt that wrong but she didnt like hot dogs either..

one time there was something 2 of my kids didnt like<i have 3> i dont recall what it was though too many yrs ago <only that it was white or near white>lol... but what i did and their mouth dropped wide open when i served it to them . was..... put 2 drops of blue food coloring in it lmao!!!! for some reason they all ate it lol

Okay, my daughter had the same problem, as many kids do. I was told that as long as she is not losing weight she was fine, but...I still worried. I did make her banana pancakes. Allyou do is slice bananas into little circles, dip them in pancake batter and make like mini pancakes. Serve with syrup or yogurt. She likes either and sometimes both. I read somewhere that a banana has everything a child really needs in a day. She loves bananas. Good luck. Also cheesy mashed potatoes (instant are easy and quick) are a good idea.

kids eat less too when they arent in a growth spurt... sometimes mine didnt have much of an appitite at times..

kitten, I do understand your frustrations! When my son was that age we went thru the same thing. I had to find things that looked appealing to him. Try chicken nuggets with ketchup, not alot, but a little to dunk it in. Kids love that. Also, spaghetti o's, you can even find organic ones. My son loved those. Maybe baby carrot sticks with ranch dressing for dipping. What about oatmeal, add some sugar and a little butter. I know you are worried, there were days when mine did not eat enough to keep a bird alive...now he is 13, wearing a mans 12 shoe and 5'9 and 125 lbs, very solid and healthy. Remember, there are days when we as adults dont really want to eat either...does he like chocolate milk? Try ovaltine...healthy snack! Good luck!!!

Yeah my kids were fussy to when they were little.My pediatrician advised me to just keep offering them a varity of foods along with the foods they liked. Let them see family eat everything too.
I remember when my son discovered dill pickles at about age 3 or 4...every time he bit it he shivered and made a face.But that kid ate like 3 slices of one. He still loves them today at 16.
