Please help me with ideas for picky eater meals...

Sadie is still driving me insane. She's 19.5 months.

What does your picky eater eat?

She wont eat meat. She will eat cold cut turkey if I hide it in a grilled cheese. She used to be awesome with veggies, but no more.

She will eat pancakes, waffles, yogurt, cheese, applesauce, and fruit. She asks for fruit all day long and will only eat fruit many days.

She will eat mac and cheese but only the elbow macaroni kind, not shells or any other shapes and she'll eat pizza.

She wont even TRY new things. She screams no and throws it or smacks the spoon away and I really don't force her AT ALL.

I am having a really hard time figuring out what to pack for her while Im at work.

Oh and PS... I know that this is a power struggle with her.

we were at a BBQ two weeks ago and she ate a whole hot dog and half a hamburger.

She FREAKS out when I try to feed her anything like that at home. It's all stubborness with her and I am tired of making 4 different things for her every meal.

At least she eats mac and cheese. Ry won't even touch it.

Have you tried chicken burgers? DS will eat it and he is very picky too.

When Sydnie got really picky some other things she liked (besides things you mentioned, and so many of them are on Syd's list too) are chicken cutlets (breaded and fried ONLY), CousCous (preferably Parmesean flavored), scrambled eggs, french toast (breakfast or dinner), and hard boiled eggs.

Also, chicken meatballs/meatloaf, she started LOVING spinach at that age (the ReadyPac one), froasted mini wheats, and pastina cooked in chicken broth.
