What are some great foods to feed to a two year old. My daughter is so picky that she won't eat hardly anything. Maybe you have some ideas

First why don't you tell us what she will eat and maybe we can add some variations rather than giving you ideas and you telling us that she doesn't like the ideas we gave.

What are the main things she wont eat? Knowing that will help give you some suggestions. :)

She doesn't like to take long in chewing food. So anything that she can pretty much just swallow. I blended up her meatloaf once and she ate that.

I don't know how you feel about canned goods, but my son loved the Chef Boyardee Mini Ravioli. It was small enough for him that it didn't have to be cut up or anything. If she likes cheese, have you tried macaroni and cheese? Kids love that too. I don't know what she can and can't eat, my son was an eating machine when he turned 2... lol. He could eat anything, or he'd at least try.

Does she like fruits and veggies?

First of all, children at 2 years of age are too busy to sit still and eat... They need foods on th go!! Chewing takes too much time for a 2 year old.

Cheese cubes... bologna... yogurt... pieces of cut up fruit (fruit cups)

Just think finger foods.

Thank you so much that actually helps me out a lot. I wouldn't know I have always loved the chewy stuff. Thanks she loves to eat as long as she don't have to chew so she will be really happy

Start there, get adventurous on how you actually pressent the food that always helps.
Stop the blending to she is a toddler not a baby they don't rule the roost we do, My daughter is a fussy eater or at least she was but now she has a little of everything we eat she has what she wants and enjoys being able to try lots of different things.
At the point there at with there growing don't panick if they like something and want it then give it them Millie loves pasta and tomatoe sauce with lots of cheese melted in.

Knox blocks (or Knox blox) are made from Jello gelatin plus Knox unflavored gelatin (sold in little orange boxes near the Jello). Knox blocks can be picked up and held like a cookie.

Here's a recipe:

KNOX BLOCKS

4 pkgs. Knox unflavored gelatin dissolved in 1 c. cold water
3 (3 oz.) pkgs. Jello any flavor
3 c. boiling water (or boiled juice to match flavor of Jello)

Pour into large cookie sheet or glass pan. Cut into 1" blocks when set or use cookie cutters to make shapes. Store in refrigerator.
