Marilyn,

What about taking the pearsauce and freezing in ice cube trays with popsicle

sticks stuck in them?

Re: son has lost weight/ attractive snacks

Hi Marilyn

as snacks:

what about homemade juiced raw carrots

put in fancy cups with straws

or pureed veggies such as butternut squash

drink thru a straw calling it " juice " or some fancy name

(I used to give him jarred baby food with a straw calling them juice

-I hide supplements in them. but now everything is homemade)

that banana/egg pancake may be yummy

may package some homemade food in Mcs/commercial

containers?

sorry I don't have many suggestions

my son uses the weirdest things as " snacks " or ABA reinforcers:

lamb riblets, spoonfuls of halved avocado

cup o broth, meats chopped small, boiled peas in a paper rolled cone,

banana peeled, chicken drummettes (small drumsticks) etc

since my 3 year old is in a 40 hours/week home ABA program

his diet is much easier to control

when he is out on playdates, I watch him like a hawk

or he'll gobble up stray pieces of cheerios, cookies, chips, etc

hope others will give you good tips

I simply do not expose him to typical standard american commercially

prepared foods, so he does not know what he's missing most part

and I glamorize all healthy foods with homemade jingles

we have the " chick-chick-chick-chick-chicken " broadway song

and the " we love yummy soup " song

and the " yummy vegetables " song

chips, french fries or pear and of course any cookie or cupcake

(gfcf) if I would make it. The baked goods are the first thing that

I have removed but he still begs for them and I feel sooo guilty.

All of his friends have junk food at preschool and playgroup and it

makes him sad .

" He's also having a hard time with the peas and carrots that are

not canned. He's gagging because of the smell and say's they

taste different. the same with fresh green beans instead of

canned. "

Cook them longer.

Put a lid on the pan and simmer them for a long time until they

get very soft.

Canned veggies are very soft and the frozen ones take a long

time to get that soft.

Also, most canned veggies are very salty. You might try adding

more salt while they are cooking.

Jody,

Thank you, I will try that! I think I remember a post saying some salt is

illegal, what salt can I use?

Thanks a bunch,
