Outsmarted my picky eater for once!

[Guest guest]

Hi, all:

Just wanted to share a tiny victory with you all since you're really

the only people that understand how our addicted little ones eat

(pre SCD). My kids and I (husband away most meals...works late) are

SCD legal now for a couple of weeks. Wesley was eating only 3

foods...peanut butter balls, bananas, and muffins from Taste and

Tradition. He had since " given up " on everything except peanut

butter balls leading me to think he was addicted to peanut butter.

So, I've decided to eliminate (or greatly reduce, at least) that

food, which means we have the muffins and bananas! Anyway, the

victory is because before when Wesley would eat a muffin he would

just pick out the tiny bit in the middle and leave the " crust " which

gradually got thicker and thicker if you can picture it. Then he

would throw the " shell " out and grab a new muffin! It's been a

trial to get him to eat a whole muffin and I've had to bake a batch

every morning before school due to the rate that he " wastes " them!

What I did was, I bought silicone muffin pans...they are microwave

safe and when you microwave baked goods, no " crust " forms! you are

left with ALL MIDDLE! Plus I used the mini muffin size which I

think helped him too with the bite sized muffins. Which ever it

was, I think we have a winner...I just made a dozen and there are

already only 2 left! WOOHOO! I think I'm also going to experament

with making pancakes in the microwave on silicone...perhaps that

will help them come out " pretty " . I'll keep ya posted.
