Waffles for Picky Eaters
If you are following me on Instagram or really any social media, you probably know that I love to travel with my family. While we have enjoyed traveling, one of the challenges I have run into is getting my son to eat when we are in a foreign country. He doesn’t often want to eat foods he is unfamiliar with. He is already a picky eater, so asking him to try something unfamiliar is a total no. The problem is that when I am in a new place, the last thing I want to do is eat at McDonald’s. But I also don’t want my kid to starve. I have had to look for ways to help him get food he will like, and the nutrients he needs on-the-go. And finding this in a way that is also convenient enough to take on trips with us.
This usually involves packing some high nutrient snacking options. Scoping out restaurant menus in advance. And staying at an Airbnb or lodging with a kitchen so I can at least prepare breakfast on my own.
Breakfast is the meal I can always control, and these classic waffles are the one my son never turns down. For an extra nutrient boost, you can swap some of the milk for a vanilla kids’ nutrition shake, or keep it simple with all milk. They work either way.
I sometimes think it would be really nice to have a kid that just eats everything, but that is not my reality, and it has forced me to get somewhat creative in my approach to getting him what he needs. And I love that recipes like classic waffles usually go over really well, even with a picky eater. This picky eater approved classic waffle recipe is my go to in a bind.
