Our daughter is in her first year at school. I pack a fair amount of food in her lunch box – fruit for fruit time, a sandwich or similar and a bento style lunch box with various snacks that I know she’ll eat. Generally pretzels, yoghurt, cheese and jatz, sultanas, zucchini cake with cacao powder or banana pancake, small sweet treat, sometimes a few tee vee snacks, sometimes a homemade chocolate, rice bubble, peanut butter cup I make. She is coming home RAVENOUS! Like hangry to the extreme. She’s also going through a phase of what she will and won’t eat which we are being patient on because usually she used to eat a lot more variety for her main meals. I’m thinking of introducing a few more lunch options in the bento box that I think she might eventually come around to – mini quiche, spaghetti bolognaise slice. I am anticipating these to be essentially wasted but working on the theory of exposure being key and one day she might just give it a go. Anything I’m missing? Her post school snacking is ruining her dinner to the point where she’s snacked so much she doesn’t want anything else! I have tried to give her dinner early but she won’t have a bar of it. She’s not big on salad or raw veg so after school snacks are difficult. Also hates sauce, gravies and dips.
NOTE – I am completely thinking this is a phase and am really looking for suggestions of foods to try as we persist through it.
