Some Plated Food at Home

This was a breakfast served in an ice tray with flower shapes from IKEA. My daughter had purple and green grapes, blueberries, mini shredded wheats, Cocoa Puffs, almonds, and cherries.

For a Saturday lunch, my daughter had cherry tomatoes, a "kiwi branch" for the green bird, some plain rotini noodles, a few pieces of plain baked chicken, and some peas.

For a weeknight dinner, my daughter had cucumber slices, a couple of tomatoes, a few rotini noodles, kidney beans, raspberries on bonnet picks, purple grapes, and blueberries and kiwi on a pick. She also had a few chunks of plain chicken on kitten and puppy picks. There was liberal use of picks in this meal to try to get her to eat; usually she is more willing to try things if they are served on a stick or in a creative way.

And last, a meal that she prepared herself. She selected, washed, and arranged blueberries, celery, yellow pepper slices, tomatoes, purple grapes, cucumber slices, and raspberries.
