I did add extra cheese, some salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to make it less bland. She liked it more then. I think that getting excited about her helping cook it also really encouraged her to eat it. I made the mac & cheese and my dd actuallyy ate it!

One favorite was 'Chicken Florentine' . I simmered tiny shreds of chicken and shreds of thoroughly washed spinach in a little butter. All I added was a bit of rosemary and parsley for seasoning. Added some cooked rice at the end and chased it through the blender for a quick 'once-over'. Frozen in ice cube trays I always had good food on hand. One caveat though...she refused any Gerber or Heinz which made traveling a bit of a challenge. .-= Marlis's last blog: <a href="http://itchyhomeschooler.blogspot.com/2010/03/read-all-about-it-no-child-left-behind.html" rel="nofollow">READ ALL ABOUT IT!

You make a great point about the egg allergies. I will keep that in mind when adding new recipes to the "allergy-free" section. Most of the recipes do not contain eggs, but I never thought to label them as such. Thank you for the tip! My three year old loves the nutrition chart and takes great pride in checking off the colors she eats during the day. I hope that it works out for your family, too! Thank you, Anna!

I have an 18 month old with an egg allergy. Are you planning on including any eggless recipes in your allergy free section? I am always on the lookout for either new eggless recipes or eggless versions of popular dishes. I love your nutrition chart, by the way - I think I'm going to print one off for my fridge!

My granddaughter is going through a stage where the only two foods she likes are pancakes and mac & cheese. Not real healthy choices but I love the pumpkin boost!

I'm not sure they even noticed the pumpkin - just gave it that special something "extra" :-) What little we have leftover my dh is taking to work tomorrow for lunch, but I think I'll make a double batch of this next time and freeze some in a muffin tin for individual portions like you suggest. It seems like it would be easy to re-heat on busy days and would be nice to have something in the fridge I know is good tasting and good for us.

Good for you for trying to find the best foods that work for your son's system. Your toddler is blessed to have such a good momma - I know it can be challenging sometimes! I am working on an "allergy-free" section on NurtureBaby as I have heard from many moms requesting dairy/gluten-free recipes. Right now, it's pretty bare bones, but a work in progress. So, thank you for your feedback...would love to hear any recipe ideas you might have in your repertoire!
