What are some good lunch or dinner recipes for a picky 4-year-old?
how are they picky? likes/dislikes? PBJ is always cool - maybe some chicken nuggets?
That was my dilemma when I had visitors for a couple of weeks, a 5 year old boy. He loved cheese slices, string cheese, cheese anything. It was a quick healthy snack and he could get it himself.





Also pretty much any sandwich AS LONG AS I cut the crust off the bread and cut the sandwich into fours (diagonally twice). He wouldn't touch it if it wasn't that way.





And almost anything someone else was eating, lol.
try the good old pbj
