Vegetarian no more

Andra was always a great veggie eater. Eggplant, peas, green beans, broccoli, asparagus, beats, you name it she ate it, as long as it was not meat, eggs or beans. To get protein in I have hidden tahini and peanut butter in apple sauce and squash or gotten high protein pasta and then of’ course yogurt, cheese and even fish if it was not fried (the girl will not eat fired fish-not even when I gave in and gave her ketchup). Did I mention she did not take to milk till she was 15months old and it was not till about a month ago that she would ask for it or drink more than half a sippy cup. A few weeks ago I made pasta sauce with ground turkey and she ate a small amount of the meet in the sauce. Before if I slipped chicken in she would suck the sauce off and then toss or heave the chicken across the room in protest. She did the same with beef. It all changed this week. We had chicken on Sunday and she ate it! No protest just picked it up and ate it!!! Then last night I made her a ground beef, been and cheese taco cut it in half and put it on her plate with some avocado. I had yogurt waiting for when the rejection came but it never did. She ate it! Not all of it but most of it. Then tonight, again chicken and broccoli and Alley did not get any of it. I am so happy!!! Now we can work on bread; yet another one I do not get………
