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.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
