[QUOTE="totoro, post: 239884, member: 3155"] I have found that if I jullienne things K will eat them Like little shoestrings. So I jullienne carrots and squash yellow and any others I can find. Zuchs as well. The yellow squash I add to noodles with butter and a little bit of Parm or what ever cheese your child may eat. Reggiano etc. With the shoestring veggies they can dip them or eat them plain, but for some reason both of my girls love them this way. K will not eat squash any other way but like this. She eats it raw like this. Revisiting foods while it is a pain really works at times. And getting over you dislikes of certain foods, (mayo). For example, K hates strawberries. N loves them. So I have been making fruit Kabobs for them. K will eat Mango and Banana. So I keep putting strawberries on hers. I said last week just try one bite with a piece of mango and banana. She loved it! She does not want to eat strawberry by itself still, but will with a banana or a mango. She is hypersensitive to certain things, she does have sensory processing disorder (SPD) and some times her medications affect her taste also. So I respect her issues but I ask her to try things without freaking out! Even sometimes if it is just licking it. My only rule is she can't spit it out on the table or plate! K usually only wants bean and cheese burritos. So I try to add things into them that she may like. I will give her one that she loves and the other one will have, ground turkey, or sauted tofu and now she loves these things. It is so hard, I have to kids with totally different likes as far as food. But they are coming around over the years. I hate throwing out food, I hate wasting it. But I keep making it and trying. The other thing is I never tell them they can't help me in the kitchen, I encourage it. Shopping also, even though I want to pull my hair out by the end of each trip to the store. Sounds like he is doing pretty good though! [/QUOTE]
