    What I Fed the Twins This Week

    Happy Friday. The wait is over and my "What I Fed the Twins This Week" column is back! The truth of the matter is that feeding toddlers is hard enough without trying to snap a photo of the meal before serving it...am I right? So here are a few of the recent toddler meals I fed my two and a half year old twins. Bon appetite! 

    Lunch: An Easter inspired lunch of ham roll ups and cheese sticks, Annie's Organic white cheddar bunny crackers, pineapple and just a few dye free jelly beans (from Trader Joe's) as a special treat!

    Notes: I would give the jelly beans as a treat AFTER lunch, because I'm all about bribery.

    Toddler Meals What I Fed the Twins

    Lunch: Mini cheese and chicken ravioli, spinach and artichoke hummus with snap peas, and colby jack cheese.

    Toddler Meals What I Fed the Twins

    Dinner (or Lunch): Rotisserie chicken drumsticks with barbeque sauce for dipping, buttered brown rice and peas, apple slices. 

    Notes: The twins aren't huge chicken eaters however they love drumsticks. I find that softer meats are always easier for little eaters as is anything on a stick. 

    Toddler Meals What I Fed the Twins

    Lunch: Turkey and cheese sandwiches on mini Hawaiian rolls, hummus and Harvest Snaps, green grapes. 

    Notes: Even though the twins are over two years old, I still cut up their grapes. Whole grapes are such a choking hazard and I'm not willing to risk it. As for bread, Hawaiian rolls are a twin favorite!

    Toddler Meals What I Fed the Twins

    Breakfast: Mickey Mouse waffles with butter and syrup. Whole milk plain organic yogurt with a little bit of honey mixed in and topped with granola. Fresh berries.

    So, what did you feed your little eaters this week?

      Yes! I love when you post these meals cause I use them to feed my toddlers too. The Easter inspired lunch is so cute too. I'll do it on a school day when I don't have to worry about the sugar high, ha!

      Love these posts! Hawaiian roll sandwiches are a big hit over here! I like how you did the ham and cheese roll ups! Presentation seems to really help with my picky eaters!

      So happy these are back- I, too, love them! Thank you! (Any chance you can share where you got the mini cheese and chicken ravioli & spinach and artichoke hummus? Or did you make them from scratch? Thanks again! 🙂

        Yay! I'm so happy you love them. I think that hummus was from Trader Joes and I usually buy my ravioli and tortellini at the regular grocery store in the refrigerated section. A couple of brands I buy are Giovani Rana, Three Bridges, and Buitoni.

      Hi! ????????‍♀️ I’m new here and loving what I see. Two questions: do you have a Pinterest board with ALL of these meals in one place? Second, where did you get the little dish you use?

      I love your recipies!! I have still not tried them, although I keep saying I'm going to. But I am wondering how old your twins are. I sort of tried to look around your blog, but truthfully not that hard. My 18 month old still only has 6 teeth! It is so hard to get her to try and eat anything.

        Thank you! My twins are 2 years and 7 months old currently. Definitely stick with softer foods. You can look back at older posts of mine for inspiration! I would say, soft stews and pastas. Lots of soft steamed veggies and soft meat. Oatmeal is great and cheesy scrambled eggs! Hope that helps!
