My Tofu-Loving Toddler

He’s crying out not because he’s supremely hungry or whatever, but because I told him I was bringing him tofu. He LOVES tofu—LOVES IT.

It blows my mind what toddlers will and will not eat, what they like, love, tolerate and hate. For a while, he sucked on lemons, but refused to eat grapes. He will eat somewhat spicy food, but asks that we blow on it to “cool it down” 😂He enjoys broccoli, but will pick even the teeniest tiniest piece of green herb out of his food. Tofu is adored, but pork is useless.

They are wonderful little mysteries, these tiny humans, and few things have brought me so much joy as cooking for, eating with and exploring flavors, textures and ingredients with Theo. Motherhood, what a trip. 🐣
