Food Combos

Some people don't like when their food touches.

Some people aren't fans of casseroles-they like their food separate.

When I make taco salad, Lucas likes his meat, chips, cheese and sour cream all separate and not mixed together. I allow it, as it is just as easy to dump piles of the stuff on his plate as it is to mix it together and if it means he will eat it, then so be it!

And well, then there is Alex.

Here she is eating-
eating a hot dog right?

Ummm kind of....

Let me show you a close up view of what she made herself for dinnerYep, cause everyone puts their pasta and peas and carrots on their hotdog right?

Does anyone you know eat weird combinations? Maybe you?

  1. I don't mind if it's separate or together, but I do have a BIL who eats all of one thing before he moves onto the next. It's so crazy!

  2. That is funny, my son is the same with not wanting to mix foods. So picky....
    That pasta looks good, did you put herbs in it?
    I need the recipe, the only thing I make with pasta is spaghetti sauce...BORING

    P.S. - I am your swap partner YAY and I've already started stalking your blog and pinterest. Can you tell I'm excited?

  3. LOL!

    Buddy likes to eat cheese and jelly sandwiches. A slice of colby jack cheese, butter, and strawberry jelly. My mom introduced him to it. Thanks mom.

  4. Ha! That's cute. Punky always asks if she can put honey or maple syrup on her eggs. GROSS. I don't allow it.

    When I was pregnant I could eat just pickles and mustard on a bun.

  10. When I was a kid, I would take the leftover pancakes and smear them with bean dip. My family still makes fun of me for those.

  11. That is disgusting and wonderful. At least she's eating it!

    My kids would devour something like that and then tell me how nasty a quesadilla is with beans AND cheese together is.

    Kids are nuts, but hilarious.

  15. Alex ROCKS!! I love it when kids will eat anything - those are the fun ones to feed.

    I have to admit I have never seen peas, carrots and pasta on a hot dog but if she likes it I say go for it. It all goes to the same place and gets mixed up anyway - hee hee :-D

  16. Maybe she's gonna be a chef. Recently on the Today show, they were all a flutter about putting mac-n-cheese on a hot dog. Not that far off...

  17. Haha! Too funny! I think the weirdest thing I did was mix kit kats in strawberry ice cream at Coldstone was I was pregnant.

  18. It all ends up in the same place, so if she likes/eats it all the better. I like my food the " normal" way.

  19. Usually I'm right with your Alex while my children would align themselves with your Lucas, but that is taking it a step too far even for me! Made me laugh, though!

  20. I'm for whatever works. My son once dipped grapes in ketchup!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Kids are so funny about food!! My son was caught dipping his already syrup'd pancakes in ketchup that was given to him for his hashbrowns. Huh!? ew... gotta love this fun stage!

  22. She is a creative one... but I'm glad I don't have to sample that particular combination :)

  23. My husband makes fun of me for dipping french fries in a Frosty at Wendy's. But I've run into lots of people that like it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. That is hilarious. She'd make a good mid-western woman :)

    We all love our casseroles!

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's hilarious!

    No matter what my father was eating for dinner, he'd mix it all together and eat it like that! Yikes!

    ReplyDelete
  26. HA! Love it. That's better than a kid I know who likes NOTHING to touch!!!!

  27. 1/2 of my kids LOVE raw onions. Not a combo but pretty weird!
