Dear mommy & daddy,
I recently read somewhere (I think the Bible) that you can’t blame ignorant for being ignorant if you refuse to help them stop being so ignorant. With that thought in mind, I’ve decided to write down a few recipes to make mealtimes easier for all of us.
Both of you seem to be confused concerning what a “meal” is. Meals aren’t supposed to be punishment, they are supposed to be delicious. Do you understand? Please let me know if I’m going to fast or blowing your mind open.
Dinnertime is hard for all of us and I know why: you have terrible recipes. I’ve compiled several of my favorites below. Please print them out and put them on a fridge using a magnet. When it’s time for cooking, follow it and don’t get creative.
Honest Toddler Approved Recipes
1. Toast with Butter
Hold on to your seat! This is a yummy one!!
Step 1: Find an unbroken piece of perfect bread with no rips.
Step 2: Put in toaster. Don’t get distracted by a Facebook fight you have no business participating in.
Step 3: When toast pops out, INSPECT IT. Is it a uniform golden brown color? Is it still intact? If not, return to Step 1.
Step 4. Butter toast liberally.
Step 5: Ask toddler how he or she would like toast prepared or cut. Don’t make assumptions. You don’t know anything about anything.
Step 6: Serve toast.
Step 7: Has toddler changed their mind about toast? Does toddler want cut up toast to be whole again? Repair toast with your mind. If you’re not powerful enough, return to Step 1 AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES DON’T BE LAZY
2. Pasta with Butter
Mmmmmm! This is will be a hit every time!
Step 1: Make pasta on the stove using a pot and steam or smoke.
Step 2: Put pasta in a toddler-approved small bowl.
Step 3: Put in lots of butter. Don’t be shy or cheap.
Step 4: Mix it up properly.
Step 5: Blow until it’s the right temperature. We will be very angry if it’s too hot. VERY ANGRY.
Step 6: Do we have juice?
Step 7: Resist the urge to add spices or parmesan cheese which is not actual cheese but very small flakes of dry cheese and disgusting. If there is something wrong in your head and you try to add a puree of garbanzo beans or nutritional yeast you are not ready to be a parent.
Step 8: Serve pasta.
Step 9: Accept graciously that your toddler may no longer be hungry or may want toast (*see recipe above).
3. Crackers and Cheese
Step 1: Find an appropriate box of crackers. Ritz and Saltines are both OK. Crackers with visible seeds are NOT.
Step 2: Select 7-8 unbroken crackers. Place them on a plate.
Step 3: Select a normal, non-artisan cheese like mild cheddar. Cut squares that are all the same shape. Don’t let cracker crumbs stick to the cheese. Please take some pride in your work.
Step 4: Serve with juice in front of shows.
4. Cereal
Step 1: Find a good cereal. Good cereals have pieces that are all the same (ie. not granola). If you are a wonderful parent, you own a cereal like Corn Pops.
Step 2: Put cereal in a toddler-approved bowl. Ask the toddler before pouring if the bowl is OK.
Step 3: Ask the toddler if he or she would like milk.
Step 4: Pour milk.
Step 5: Serve cereal.
Step 6: After toddler has eaten 1-2 bites, throw away cereal without sighing or having a bad attitude.
Step 7: Pour 1 cup or dry cereal into a ziploc bag.
Step 8: Give to toddler to eat around the house and in front of shows.
–
Congratulations! Now you know how to cook for that special toddler in your home. Remember, the kitchen is not your personal science laboratory wherein family members are forced to consume your failed results. That’s pretty selfish, no?
If you get confused about cooking, ask grandma. She has many good recipes including but not limited to chicken nuggets.
I love you. xoxo HT
PS. Cake.

Will you children follow the restrictive diet as well??
John Luiza
26 Jul 2012 04:07 pm
It’s not that restrictive and as long as they are getting enough Vitamin D should be fine. The fats are good for brain development and there shouldn’t be a calorie deficit if done correctly.
Jennifer
27 Jul 2012 12:07 pm
All children should be eating a primal diet. It’s how our bodies are designed. Goldfish crackers ARE. NOT. FOOD.
Jennifer (original poster)
27 Jul 2012 03:07 pm
Yes, we’re working toward the kids following a Primal diet, too. Lots of meats, tons of veggies, plenty of fresh fruit, and healthy fats. I’ve been doing a lot of baking with coconut and almond flours. We’re not 100% there, yet, but doing well. I know it’s best for the kids.

Candy salad is a favorite around here.
1. get a bunch of bags of candy
2. get a big bowl
3. dump all the candy into the bowl
4. put bowl in fridge so candy doesn’t melt (unacceptable) and allow for frequent self-servings.

Most toddlers wouldn’t survive at our house. My two year olds are only allowed to eat and drink when sitting in their booster seats at the kitchen table or patio table. They eat many fruits and veggies. They do not get to choose their food or dishes, nor are they allowed juice when at home. After reading this, I feel like some kind of drill sergent mother. Maybe my house is the toddler version of boot camp.

27 Jul 2012 03:07 am
Don’t take these posts to literally or seriously. As parents we all want to feed our kids well, but our kids are people who have definite opinions of their own. Putting into words how a toddler would run his or her life is what makes these posts hilarious because most kids have preferences for at least one or all of these things. My first child made me feel like a fabulous parent – ate most everything, easy going, liked to please. My second made me feel like a failure from the get-go – super independent and opinionated – his goal in life is to be in charge and to have it his way. I don’t let him run the house, but I feel so normal when I read these posts. Honest toddler embodies the wishes and opinions and mentalities of each of my three kids in some way or completely when they were that age.

27 Jul 2012 11:07 am
You presume a whole lot about me. I’m thoroughly aware of the satire and silliness of Honest Toddler. I don’t think I’m better than anyone else. I have 2 year old twins. I’m well aware of the reality of toddlerhood. My comment was meant to be just as silly. I’m the serious, un-fun antithesis to Honest Toddler. I read HT’s tweets and blog posts, because they’re funny and they make me laugh. Relax, my friend.

Totally spot on. The only thing my little one would disagree with is recipe 2. She likes her parmesan cheese with just a little pasta sprinkled on top.
PMac
27 Jul 2012 02:07 pm
Yup. This is my son. The more parmesan the better. And he needs to put it on himself, with a special spoon. 4 scoops. Because he is 4 and that’s how many he should have.

26 Jul 2012 03:07 pm
My toddler wants to add that you were right on about always ask before cutting up the toast. Just because he wanted octagons yesterday doesn’t mean that he might not want trapezoids today. And if you have a dog that will eat the octagons he wanted two seconds ago, you can happily start over and make him trapezoids.
Also please always let your toddler watch you pour the cereal from the box. We like to see it fall from the box to ensure there are no switcharoos, and no reaching in to grab a handful to put in the bowl – so unsanitary. The floor and our carseat is much cleaner than your hands.
Overall well said. Thx for speaking up for the little guy.

I snuck shaved Parmesan in and he pretended not to notice. Tonight, those same noodles found their way to the floor. Not one tiny bite!!!!!

27 Jul 2012 09:07 am
How about being allowed to butter the toast by yourself, with your very own special orange spoon and is it too much to ask to also get a nice big scoop of butter that you can put right into your mouth? Do they have to give you that disgusted look and grab your arm just as its about to go down the hatch!?! If the woman would let you sample all the food in the supermarket before buying it (God knows you’re there long enough), maybe there wouldn’t be so many failures in the kitchen to begin with.

In my house, if ANYTHING has touched the bread it will be thrown on the floor. It must be a completely plain piece of bread, UN toasted, with no butter or sauce of any kind. If it’s touching even one corner of the bread the whole thing is ruined.
Sandy B
27 Jul 2012 11:07 am
Sorry, I disagree! I believe children should eat what’s prepared. I raised 4 kids and they had a few healthy snacks throughout the day. But at dinner time when the family sat at the table, they ate what we ate. I cooked good, plain food for them, adding more variation as they grew. If they were hungry, they ate; if they weren’t hungry, they didn’t eat. But they didn’t get served something different. And they weren’t forced to eat it. Missing one meal didn’t harm them. And over a period of months, I’d find out whether their failure to eat a certain thing was a genuine dislike of the food or just a daily whim. And mealtimes were always happy affairs.
My kids grew up learning to like tomatoes, salad, broccoli and just about anything. They are all in their 20′s now — healthy and adventurous eaters.

thank you, HT, for finally making my Mom understand how to cook my meals. I do have to say that cucumbers with any meal is not bad idea at all – I like them a lot. The only thing I did not eat with cucumbers was ice cream. I want to share a secret with you: if you eat just two bites of that organic beef stew that your Mom tried to feed you, there will be a jubilation in the house, and you can get pretty much anything you ask for… I normally get a fruit bar from Trader Joe’s… still can’t figure out where my Mom keeps them hidden in the kitchen, I turned upside down each cabinet I could reach, and still did not find them. So if you know anything about where to look for them, please help me out,

Pinwheels! Tortilla, cream cheese, sandwich meat, green chile. The fun with mine is that he tells me he’s hungry THE WHOLE TIME I’m preparing food. He’ll ask me for eggs while I’m boiling noodles.
I’m an evil mom. I put tiny flakes of spinach and a minced up clove of garlic into the buttered noodles, because he won’t stop to pick ‘em off. I put green chile in most everything because the stuff is like candy to him and loaded with vitamins. If he doesn’t want to eat nutritious stuff, I don’t even give him a fuss. I don’t want him thinking veggies are something bad he’s forced to eat. I just cheat it into his food anyway
Smug Toddler
30 Jul 2012 09:07 pm
None of these sound like acceptable meals to me, HT. You’ve been brainwashed into thinking these are acceptable, b/c they’re the lesser of the evils. An acceptable meal must fit one of the following criteria: a) contain at least 14 grams of sugar per serving b) end in “ee” (i.e. cookie, candy, lolly, wacky (mac), slurpee, whiskey?) or c) have enough sauce or chocolate syrup poured over it to disguise whatever is underneath. Stop eating all of the above items and your parents will eventually cave, (although this method does occasionally backfire, in which case they may stop feeding you altogether).

This is so on point! My toddler (although he’s starting to get a little too old for that title) gets soooo dramatic if his food is hot and DEMANDS I blow on it and gets offended when I tell him to do it. And this child asks for noodles every night! Luckily he loves my spaghetti (pats self on back) and has recently started asking for tacos.
Any recommendations on toddler approved tacos, Honest Toddler?

“Ask the toddler before pouring if the bowl is ok.” How many meltdowns I could have prevented by reading this first!

HT, has your mom not introduced you to cupcake sprinkles? These should go on EVERYTHING like adults do with that nasty Parmesan cheese on pasta. Just sayin’.

Hilarious! My son is 2 1/2. He asks for appleshaush (applesauce), i hurt (yogurt), and pizza or taco pizza. I’m so thankful he has been eating veggies and fruits. It wasn’t too long ago that he spit out most fruit & veggies. Now, he is getting to where he avoids meat unless of course it comes from McDonald’s.
