Gravy anyone?

Feeding a child is a really tricky thing. Well I am finding at least. You never know how much they want. Are you giving them enough. Are they getting the right nutrients. That's just the start. Then you have to make sure you're giving them a wide range of tastes and textures. I could go on but won't, all I can say is it's a minefield.

At the moment madam is rejecting all home made produce. While at Nanny and Grandads we'd started to eat shepherds pie, chicken and rice and all manner of grown up meals. Of course smashed down into tiny tiny little pieces. We were doing smashing!  Nanny and Grandad said it was the Sainsbury's gravy that did the trick. (Low salt of course!)

Now back at home, I bought mince, chicken, fish and lots of vegetables and we started out great. Last week we were eating like a good un. This week we are mostly eating, not a lot. I am blaming the teeth. I have to blame something. It really does make you want to cry. For a number of reasons. Firstly my poor little baby isn't eating that much again. Secondly, I'm cooking this damn food and no one is eating it. Thirdly, is Grandads cooking better than mine. Well, don't answer that one I think we know the answer.

I have decided to revert back to the old tried and tested beef stew. We can eat it, madam can eat it. I know for definite she loves this. If this fails. I'm off to Sainsbury's to get the gravy.
