Um Hello
I've had a TMX for a few months now and need some inspiration to use it more effectively ;D
Um so yeah, Hi
I'm a single Mum with 2 kids (16 months and 4 yrs) and Miss 4 is going through the super fussy eating stage.

Hi Cerridwen. You are in the right place to find inspiration and help with using the TMX.
Welcome, and the others will come to welcome you as well when they can find the thread to use. LOL

Howdy doody back , welcome to the forum cerridwen ;D

Welcome to the forum Cerridwen.What sort of foods does your 4 year old like?so we can help you with some recipes :)
-
Hi Cerridwen, welcome to the forum. You will find all the inspiration you need here and what your 4 year old is going through is quite normal. This is when you start hiding vegies in her spaghetti bol sauce, cake and cookies - some very crafty Mums on here who do that all the time.

Welcome to the forum, this is a great place to visit for inspiration. We all love helping out where we can :)

Hello and welcome to the forum. My DS is nearly 8 and doesn't like meat unless it's mince or sausages. I now make him some meals he likes and freeze them. That way DH and I can have what we like and I just have to heat DS something in the microwave.
Take care and happy cooking

Welcome to the forum. Have a browse through the recipe section for some child friendly meals.
There is also a thread on things to pack for school lunches that might help.

Howdy crridwen. You have your hands full so any help we can give ya just ask.
Little Miss Fussy Eater has met her match with some of the mums here who are expert at "hiding" all the "bad" stuff. She will grow out of it eventually.

Ah thanks for the welcomes - I actually got distracted and forgot I signed up here ;D
Miss 4 will eat all kinds of pasta and rice. Luckily I have already started sneaking extra vegies into my spag bol etc.
I tried the tomato soup with home made noodles in it the other day but my noodles didn't noodlefy they just went clumpy. I guess I added too many extra vegies to it.

Cerridwen, here's (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4813.0) some reviews of that particular recipe you made (I think this is it). You may find the solution there although it seems most people have not had success either if that makes you feel any better ;D

I was about to mention the spag Bol recipe I do in the TM with anything between 8-12 vegies! My DD who is 5 and will not touch vegies has no idea what quantity I actually use in her food. She also loves my beef stroganoff - she'll run a mile from mushrooms cooked conventionally but when cooked in the TM stroganoff, she absolutely loves them. At least with a TM it is much easier to disguise a lot of vegies and the kids are none the wiser. I will also present 'normal' vegies to them alongside a dish with 'unrecognisable' ie hidden vegies in it so if they refuse the 'standard' vegies at least I know they are getting them in one form or another. Good luck though and keep persevering!

welcome to the forum Cerridwen (my stepdaughter is a Ceridwyn - lovely name). I've found that hiding veges in things such as meat loaves and the cottage rolls (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4310.0) is helpful as well. My kids are all 'grown up' now (on a good day :-)) ) but other forum members have noted that their kids are sometimes more likely to eat things that they have helped cook (when we have the time and patience for the junior masterchef).
