Thursday: Taste Testing

For this activity I gave Angel Girl a whole bunch of different things that can be spread on crackers. This was to help her with spreading with a knife that she is very fond of doing. So she had honey, tuna, non-dairy butter spread, jelly, and peanut butter and a stack of crackers. It was fun to watch her try the different toppings on the cracker. The first time she had tried the honey a few months ago she said yuck and today she loved it. It was also fun to tell her the different names of the toppings. She keep repeating them as she spread/or ate straight the toppings.

Wednesday: Cooking Circles

The idea of this activity is to make something that is circular. My first thought was sugar cookies but Angel Girl is dairy allergic so butter and milk are not options for us in anything. Then I realized we could make dairy free biscuits as long as I use the dairy free vegan butter we have. So I found this recipe. We made it together and used a cup to cut out the circles. Angel Girl loved rolling out the dough and then cutting out the circles. Then we ate them for lunch which made it more fun I think.

Thursday: Taste Likes and Dislikes

So for this day I got a variety of different fruits and veggies. Some I knew Angel Girl likes and some that she had never tried before including Kolrabi (I am sure I spelled that wrong :)). I had Angel Girl try the new food and I had a piece too. Mostly she just licked it and said yuck to all the new stuff BUT I did find out she likes mangos! I think I may do this more often because eventually maybe she will take a bit and not just lick it, considering she use to not even try it and just say yuck.

Thursday: Taste Test

So this idea is based on the many bloggers that do Muffin Tin Monday. Basically there are a variety of food placed in a muffin tin for the child to try. It is a fun way to try different food. This is what we will be doing every Thursday for Taste. I plan to introduce some new foods along with some of Angel Girl's favorites.
