Just that really. Any ideas for food that might tempt fussy eating DGSs of 10 and 8 staying this weekend. Their Mum has handed in quantities of white bread and peanut butter and Nuttella but I'll need to give them more than that.
It's possible they might try new stuff as they're at Grans?? Hope so. Any suggestions gratefully received.

My grandson will only eat McDonald’s chips, plain pasta and butter, white bread, cheese sandwiches, garlic bread, chocolate biscuits.
No veg or fruit- I worry about his health, he gets very tired.
His parents are worried how he’s going to manage at a school holiday next week.
Hope you have some success.Let us know how it goes.

Three out of four of my children were VERY fussy eaters so almost every meal was a buffet ! Cut up raw vegs, fruit, cubes of cheese, (lots of different types), breadsticks and different cream cheeses and peanut butter (assuming no allergies), little yoghurts and jelly, crisps, all washed down with drinks of milk, (add mixes to make milk shakes), fresh juice and water.

Mokell50 and others. If you read my posts you would know what I did and how it turned out.

Get them involved with the selection of the food, preparation and cooking, pizzas that are home made by the kids is a good start.

My tiny gd (6) , is very very fussy. She eats pizza, pasta, marmite sandwich, banana, petit filou yoghurt, chips , cocktail sausages, all this in tiny portions. BUT she loves my homemade carrot and parsnip soup, finely blended. No chewing required.
