Ricemania

by Tansy

Not only did our twenty two month old demand chopsticks last night, in order to eat her bowl of rice, but when she whined after a few failed stabbity attempts to pick up some rice, I suggested she might want to return to using her spoon, AND SHE FLUNG IT AWAY.

Kept on determinedly working with the chopsticks, and actually managed to get some rice into her mouth!

We’ve got to start making our Sunday Night Bentos a bit more kid friendly, though, or at least kid varied - watermelon and rice isn’t an entirely balanced meal (though becomes more so when teamed with a peanut butter biscuit - Bootlegged Mrs B’s simple biscuit mix is great with a big spoonful of peanut butter added).

About Kids Dish

If you flip through the pages of a number of kids’ magazines, you get the impression that kids’ meals should be Michelin affairs, complete with matching dishware and veggies cut to resemble the works of impressionist painters.

Let’s be real. Parents don’t have that kind of time. And kids have to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Kids' dish focuses on healthy, practical meal solutions for kids… and occasionally, that might mean matching dishware.
