I used to make spaghetti for a two year old and it is the only thing that I have seen him eat willingly. He eats it like a fiend.

The mother wants to introduce more fibre in his diet but I am out of ideas because I suck donkey ass at cooking. I once tried oats-banana-cinnamon pancakes but the child spit it out because it tasted like shit. (I have posted about it before.)

If you have medium or high fibre recipe suggestions please share. It's a bit of an odd request so sorry about that but I don't know where to turn to. The internet is a search engine optimised wasteland.

The kid is a picky eater because he is given food that tastes like horseshit. He eats things very happily if he likes the taste. I have been trying to find stuff to give to him that he likes but it's hard. Online resources seem like they are detached from reality to some extent.

For now he can't eat things with the skin on them. I don't know if it's a peculiarity or his molars haven't erupted yet but he seems to be getting there. I'll look into veggie noodles. But surely there must be a way to process veggies to make it easier for him to chew. Thanks.
