(Today I actually have a what she ate photo!)
{edamame}
{pb pretzels}
{smoked salmon}
{pineapple leftover from a fruit salad}
{vanilla yogurt + berries}
{center: chocolate covered sunflower seeds}
Not surprisingly, the salmon, sunflower seeds, and the edamame are gone :)
Eliza loves peas and broccoli, but she's not so keen on other veggies she is offered, and that's okay. But does that mean that I only offer her broccoli and peas as a veggie option? No. I serve her whatever veggie we are eating that night, and she will usually give it a try and dramatically spit it back out on her plate. And then we say "thanks for trying it, Eliza!"

Agreed. In fact I think if you get a toddler to even try a new (or old) veggie, you've won. You certainly can't make them like it (or for that matter eat it). Heck, to this day, I won't touch brussel sprouts or beets.
BTW, where did you find chocolate-covered sunflower seeds? Those sound yummy.
Ella - Thanks so much for sharing this. This really puts it into perspective for me. It's hard to know how much is okay for Gabby to be eating. This helps so much!!
Gabby also LOVES Peas. Yesterday we were out to dinner and I gave her peas, corn, broccoli, pineapple, chicken and wonton chips. She just ate the peas, some corn and a little broccoli - mostly the wonton chips, but she at least tried the rest :)
