5 Healthy Recipes for Picky Toddlers

Dylan isn’t a particularly picky eater, but he tends to stick to his tried-and-true favorites.  I’ve been looking for new recipes lately to experiment with and I was excited when I stumbled across this set of 5 recipes on the Yahoo! Parenting site.  

Each of these recipes pack in nutritional elements like wild salmon, kale, or quinoa.  

I loved the idea of wild salmon cakes as Dylan doesn’t choose to eat much fish right now.  Salmon in particular is loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, something I need during pregnancy right now too, so it seemed like the perfect choice!  Most of the ingredients I had on hand already and the preparation took about 20 minutes (I had Dylan as my sous-chef helping pour and mix too!).  

After 25 minutes in the oven, the cakes were ready!  I omitted the cheese in my rendition of these salmon cakes as I’m allergic to it, but added some shredded mozzarella to the tops of 6 of the cakes before putting them in the oven as Dylan is a huge fan of cheese right now.  

Dylan absolutely loved eating these little “fish cakes” that he created and they were the perfect finger food for his little hands.  I think I actually over-baked them a little bit as they came out a little drier than I expected but they were still tasty!

Next on my list to try is the cornmeal muffins with yellow squash and raisins!  It sounds like the perfect appetizer or post-dinner treat!
