Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 <<I just got my very picky formerly vegetarian toddler to eat homemade organic chicken soup w/veggies!... he wouldn't eat the actual chicken, texture issues>> WELL DONE Michele..! sorry I can't answer the B12 Q but the texture problem might be over come by removing the meat from the bone when he's not looking :-), mixing it with some of the veggies + herbs/spices and an egg, shaping the lot into little patties, and shallow frying them in some coconut oil... in my experience, kids love fried patties almost regardless of what's in them... you can give those patties a 'name' he can relate to so they're even more 'interesting' for him..! let us know how it goes... good luck, Dedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is there much protein in it? > > Thanks, > > Michele @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ probably not a lot protein in the broth, but b12 is water-soluble and heat-stable, so those two facts suggest there is probably enough in the broth, but i really don't know enough to say this with confidence. hide a smidgen of liver in something for him... don't worry, he'll warm up to meat soon enough...

I'll second what Dedy says. My experience is that little kids don't like to CHEW -- might have to do with all those loose teeth they keep getting. But sausage and hamburger and fried patties ... also pate -- I get some from Trader Joe's and they love that (without the peppercorns). I want to learn to make liverwurst, they like that too. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hello! To the lady with the patty idea (accidentally deleted your email, so I'm sorry I lost your name), thank you ! I put chicken from the soup a carrot peice, a few potato cubes, celery, and some mush(your guess is as good as mine) along with some leftover chicken from a roast(to make it a bit thicker) in the food processor until it was a soft mush, mixed it with raw egg, and pan fried it in coconut oil. It came out like pancakes and he ate 5 the size of silver dollars!! He's never had pancakes, BTW. It was nice and crunchy on the outside and acceptable soft and smooth on the inside. He has weird texture stuff... and this linger time problem. If it is gooey, chewy, tangy, gluey, lumpy, fluffy, difficult to chew, or lettuce(cause it wraps on his tongue), forget it, he's gagging and puking. Mushy is ok, as long as it dissolves quickly in his mouth, as is soft, ie cooked cabbage or very well done beans/grains(which are not acceptable to me as they cause problems for him). I'm telling you this so you know why it is so amazing that he liked your idea. Thanks again!
