store them in cubes and refrigerate a few and freeze the rest.

i passed them to babysitter so that she can add them into his meals, either porridge during lunch or served with rice for dinner.

typical chinese family, and a fussy-eater, KJ only eats a few types of vegetable namely broccoli and soft green leaves. i mentioned typical chinese family because aunty feeds him with more carbohydrate than proteins and greens.

i prepared these blended veges for him when he was younger but ive stopped since then. guess i should continue doing this till he eats like an adult!

the child himself is so picky that he can eat soft stir-fried cucumber this week and not eat it the next. he still does not know what is KFC-kentucky fried chicken. he does not eat burger which tells you that he does not eat big pieces of meat. i have sneaked in small pieces of stir-fried bittergourd in his rice with no objection.

he likes he likes to 'check out' what is in the spoon before it enters his mouth.

 macaroni
mushroom soup with macaroni

claiming to love the powder cheddar cheese (milled ourselves from blocked cheese, much healthier choice than processed sliced cheese).


he do not usually like pieces of mushroom but he loves this dish. by the way darling, both mom and dad love mushrooms! that is how finicky he can be. he dived into the bowl and towards the end, he started to protest. pointed to the mushroom. huh?



  macaroni
notice his enthusiasm? asked for more cheese.

so a week after this (he eats home with us on weekends and on non-working days), we had baked paste with chicken bolognese sauce, topped with shredded gouda cheese.

"i dont like the cheese!"

-____________-

quickly, i asked the father to remove the bowl and do some magic > cut up all the cheese and mix thoroughly into the sauce and pasta.


gouda cheese
this is our Gouda Cheese. the father said it tastes good! of course darling. 
i would love to bring him to Netherlands simply because i had my best there.
