We love the book Toddler Cafe for some unique ideas for my little guy who is 17 months. He is a good eater but it's hard finding new and different things for him so he doesn't just get bored with the same old things. I try to give him what we are eating as often as possible. He loves pizza cut into bite size pieces. We make Salmon into patties and he loves that (canned salmon, crackers, egg, and we add sweet bell peppers) He loves the Green Giant boxed veggies that have a sauce on them. Favorites are the carrots in I think a honey glaze and the immunity blend that has broccoli, carrots and sweet peppers. Try cheese sauce on veggies. For bananas maybe try not cutting them up and just giving them a chunk to take bites off of. One of my son's favorites was baked apples. I took the core out and baked with the skin on. Then you can just take the skin off and cut up the apple. Adding cinnamon might help too. My son loves drinkable yogurt. I just poke a hole with the straw through the foil. If I can be of any more help please let me know. I was a nanny for 17 years before having one of my own so I know a lot of "tricks".
