I have a 10 year old picky eater, but is not your typical picky kid. It is very difficult, even at home when we can plan better for her. I'd like to throw out there all the things I can usually get her to eat, and would love anyone's input of where to find it, or ideas you have. I'm not planning to do any grocery order, but I'm fine picking up some items from the food court/resort shops. I haven't done this in the past, but think I'll bring a small lunch bag so I can have a few things on hand for her. Most sit down restaurants are fine since she will always eat pasta with butter, but quick service is much harder. She will also eat things like potato chips, french fries, and popcorn, which are fine as snacks or sides, but would like to get her more substance before she eats these.
She will eat:
yogurt as long as it is blended with no chunks - preferably not a light or low fat yogurt - greek yogurt is best because it has more protein, danimals and go-gurts are fine but tend to not be as filling
fruit except bananas
raw cucumbers and carrots
hot dogs that are boiled (soft skin)
Sabra hummus and pretzel cups (I know some places have this)
steamed broccoli and carrots (as long as it is plain and not too soggy)
mac and cheese but only if it is the shell kind of pasta with a creamier sauce (not kraft or anything like kraft)
waffles
a turkey sandwich but only if it is small, plain, and with a slice of tomato
hard boiled eggs, but only fresh or ones I could warm up - she won't eat the cold ones you can get prepackaged in the cold case
I've been scouring menus and making notes, but any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated!
