I have a 1 year old and 2 year old who are driving me insane with their fussy eating. Does anyone have any fail safe recipes that have won over your fussy ones??


My 1 year old is allergic to eggs and comes out in eczema if he has cows milk. He refuses to be spoon fed and won't eat anything he can't pick up and do himself. He hates soft or wet food so lasagne, pasta, sandwiches, rice, mash potato etc are off the menu. His favourite thing in the world is homemade pizza or any other variation on the cheese and bread theme - cheese on toast, quesadilla.


My two year old used to be an amazing eater but has overnight decided that he will try to limit his diet to sausages and marmite sandwiches. This is a battle of wills really and I'm trying to give him no other option but it means him going without one meal most days.


I'd be so grateful for any ideas!

Off the top of my head:



Scotch pancakes with a variety of fillings? Mashed banana/berries etc for breakfast? Cheese/spinach/grated carrot/courgette for lunch?

Grated apple and cheese on toast?

Rice pudding cooked for longer so you can 'cut' it into squares? Likewise with porridge...porridge fingers? Made with soya/almond milk?

Flapjacks? Healthy snack if get a good recipe? Can add grated carrot, Banana, prunes etc...

Fish fingers? Use white fish or salmon/mackerel...

Roasted wedges of sweet potato? Jacket potato wedges? Would one year old dip these into something healthy?u

Nothing is fail safe in the toddler world I've found!

Hi Gemo, my son also has a thing for sausages and marmite which he would eat every night given half a chance.


I've had some successes with:

veggie sausages (he never realised the difference, hahaha)

smoked mackeral

baked beans on toast

tuna pasta

chicken wraps


And he loves olives and gherkins. He'll also eat a lamb curry if we're all eating together. A lot of salt but at least there's some variety.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
