My Hungry Hungry Growing Boy


Today's lunch: Mac and cheese and nilla wafers


I am amazed at how much and the variety of foods that Jake will eat.  It doesn't matter the color, the health factor or the temperature, he will eat it all.  The only food I have seen him deny is fresh tomatoes. As soon as it touches his tongue, he immediately spits it out and refuses to open his mouth.  He eats such a wide variety of foods that he has his own shelves in the fridge, freezer and cupboard.

He will eat most of this and we need to restock every weekend.  He loves fruits and prefers them over meat.  We discovered he loves string cheese and will pick that first every single time.  

The one drawback to his great eating habits is that he likes variety.  He will not eat the same thing in a row.  If he has Mac and cheese for dinner, he will not eat it for lunch or dinner the next day.  My problem is coming up with enough meal varieties to get us through the week.  It would be so easy to make a PB&J sandwich everyday.  I am running out of options.  I did find a website about muffin pan recipes and will be trying some of those.

  1. You are so lucky you have an amazing eater!!!! All of my kids have been super picky, which is super frustrating!!! Hopefully it lasts into adulthood for Jakey! On a side note, sorry it makes meal planning stressful.
