Do you give your toddler frozen stuff..

[rwhite]

Yep, Arf does and to be honest I struggling to get him to much else at the moment. He loves fish fingers and asda's equivalent of smiley faces. We never have frozen chips though and always make our own. He would eat beans every single day if he could. Vi is a lot more discerning lol and wants to eat nothing but brocolli, peas and sweet corn. Neither will eat pasta, chicken or sausages. We do cook a lot fresh but it's almost like Arf prefers the processed stuff and I just want him to eat so I confess I give him stuff that I know he likes and will actually eat. I cannot for the life of me get him to eat any vegetables at all but he eats as much fruit as he can stuff down during the day.

Lachlan is exactly like this, too! Drives me nuts

Ihsan likes potato waffles and sometimes he will eat fish fingers. I have tried him with other things from frozen but he won't eat anything and he used to like baked beans when he was about 1year but won't touch them now. Everything else he eats is made from scratch so I don't mind

 

[jd83]

Yep, I do easy stuff like that a few times a week if I don't have time for anything else. I wish the good food would just cook itself for me! lol

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Yeah but I do try to give him 'proper' food too

Lo used to like fish fingers but not any more. She hardly ever eats anything tineed ir frozen but that is because she is a madam with eating.

I would have no problems using freezers or tinned food occassionally.

Things like tinned beans, hoops, etc, often have plenty if vitamin c and iron in them. They aren't that bad IMHO.

About once a week he'll have a quick meal like that, usually on a Saturday if we've been out all day. It doesn't bother me, tbh I enjoy the odd fish finger sandwich - gross! He eats tonnes of fruit & veg though and will eat most things I cook for him so I don't see it as a problem

 

[lozzy21]

Yep, infect tonight iv stood and cooked bolagnsise from scratch and then realised were out of pasta so were having it with oven chips lol

 

[dani_tinks]

Yup. I have a fussy eater, he refuses almost everything! We tried home made beef stew today and he refused it.
He loves waffles, alphabet letters, fish fingers, veggie fingers and any frozen chicken. Its a pain but i'd rather he eat that than nothing at all.
Im lucky he loves fruit and eggs, so somehow he does manage a ballanced diet

 

[KittyVentura]

Yes. Fin has Fishfingers, chicken goujons, beans, waffles etc. Not everyday but he does have them. The boy is a bean fanatic xx

 

[RHR]

Yes I do and also make sure that dd1 has plenty of veg with it, or fruit after. Not all the time but occasionally is fine.

E would live off baked beans if I let her...

On nights when I've been working she has quick easy teas, soe tinned bits, some freezer bits. Mainly she eats homemade and will practically snaffle down lasagne without chewing!

Due to OH's wheat intolerance we make our own pizza, sauces and pasta so we know what goes in most things.. Still she does once a fortnight have fish fingers and wedges.

 

[going_crazy]

DD will have fish fingers/sausages once a fortnight, maybe once a week - I don't see any harm in it.

I always do a big batch of bolognaise sauce and freeze portions so that when I am in a hurry or cba to cook, it's easy just to defrost and serve with spaghetti/pasta. I also batch cook & freeze fish pie and cottage/shepherds pie.

I gave DD beans on toast for lunch the other day, and she refused to touch them! Gonna try it again soon though

My kids have something that is frozen at least once a day,wither its sausages,waffles,chicken nuggets,veg,pizza fingers,mash tatties..the list goes on! They eat such a variety of fresh/frozen/homemade etc that I don't see any of it as a big deal. They have at least one homemade meal a day wither that's freshly made or defrosted its still homemade!

I stick by the moto..everything in moderation.

 

[tashyluv]

We always have fish fingers, waffles in the freezer. When we go shopping we usually plan out what we want for the week. This includes around 5 homecooked meals, occasionally it will be stir fry/curry in this case little one will get something out the freezer. She likes making her own topping for her waffle which is cheese and beans!!

 

[storm4mozza]

yes and i have for quite a while now. i cook them in the healthiest way i can (like using a george foreman grill) and choose healthy options in spaghetti alot of time time but he loves them as long as i keep the balance right i see no problem x
