Okay, so since attempt #2, things got a bit busy. But that hasn't stopped us from trying new things.
Livia has really taken an interest in cooking. A few weekends ago she decided she wanted to help me make steak. I let her pick what spices we used. She was very stern that she wanted garlic, pepper and salt. So that's what we used. I let her put the spices on the meat and I cooked it up for her. She also selected carrots and black beans/rice for our meal. She's also decided she likes pickles, cucumbers without skins, and yellow bell peppers.
Noelle LOVED the steak. She was lukewarm on the black beans/rice and was not a fan of the carrots at all. But at least I got another protein in her diet. So I'm succeeding in getting Noelle to like pork, chicken, turkey and steak over the course of January. Rice has been a nice addition. So we're getting somewhere slowly. She still is quite intimidated to try new foods and often 'yucks' things before even tasting it. But we're getting somewhere.
Noelle picked a cookbook out at library at school so we're going to add it into our mix: Disney Princess Royal Recipe Collection. Of course, it's out of print and 30 bucks on ebay.... so I might just be making some photocopies of the recipes. I hate having to do that, but the book is great. If anybody knows where a cheap copy of it can be found, would love it.
