Foods My Kids Like

My kids are normal and they are also NOT so normal!  Some foods we have found they like and some they don't.  Some one likes and the other doesn't.

When we were in China to bring Meighan home she ate some pineapple at the buffet and seemed to like it.  Then once we were home she didn't like it anymore.

When we were in China to bring Dawson home, he LOVED bananas.  Now he doesn't really want much to do with them -- although that could change at any time!

Some things that Meighan really likes are:  Noodles, mac & cheese, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, French fries, Chinese food ;-), pineapple (again!), pancakes and ASPARAGUS!  She had some asparagus the first weekend we were home from China with her and she seems to want it and eat quite a bit of it every year!  Of course, we get it fresh from the patch every year from my parents so it's probably better than if we bought it in the store.

Some things we are finding out that Dawson likes are:  Applesauce, peaches, pears (more recently than at first), cheeseburgers (he can eat a WHOLE patty!), French fries (he ate this in China), ice cream, pineapple (he seems to LOVE this!), pancakes (he ate 2 tonight!), and ASPARAGUS!  He always wants more and more and more asparagus but I guess I didn't make enough this noon!

One thing that Dawson does NOT seem to like very well is hot dogs.  Don't know if this will change or not.  Texture is a very strong thing when it comes to food and maybe he just doesn't like the texture.  Don't know.

We do make sure our kids at least try a new food.  If they don't like it then they can say they don't like it.  BUT, if they like it, they can sure have more!

I love asparagus but never thought about letting Henry try it. I'm also surprised Dawson likes ice-cream as it's too cold for Henry and he won't touch it (I've tried to give it to him at least twice!).

Linda, Dawson wants just about anything to eat. He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth! Drives us nuts!
