Grown Up Food

August 21, 2007

Two nights in a row!

Last night, Melissa cooked up some terrific fried chicken strips, macaroni & cheese, and fried okra. With her plate full of the same food that Melissa and I were eating, Katie ate everything on her plate. The chicken and mac&cheese were a given that she'd eat, but I didn't know if she would like the okra. Turns out she loves the okra. So we're now at three vegetative things she'll eat without much of a fuss: Applesauce, corn, and okra.

Tonight, Melissa baked up a tater tot casserole, which consisted of tater tots, hamburger, and cheese. It's a tasty dish. While Melissa and I also ate a side salad with the meal, Katie had her casserole, corn, and applesauce. Much to my surprise, she ate a good bit of the casserole. And the whole time she exclaimed just how much she was enjoying the grownup foods. The corn gave her some problems, and she was only able to get three little nibblets down.

It's baby steps towards grownup foods.
