[quote=Anonymous]Random tricks that have worked:

-I had a container of grape tomatoes on the counter next to a container of grapes. Since the packaging was the same and the contents were so similar I convinced my son that the grape tomatoes were half grape/half tomato. DS who hates tomatoes so much that he won't eat pizza or pasta sauce, tries one and exclaims "I love grape tomatoes these are yummy!" Now I lie and tell him all tomato based products are made with grape tomatoes and he will eat them.

-I never put new foods on his plate. Instead I will eat it myself  while he is playing and he typically gets interested and asks if he can try it. He recently became obsessed with endamame which he wouldn't have touched in a million years if I had tried serving it for dinner.

-I mix veggies with food he loves. He loves tortellini and pesto sauce. Aside from the spinach hiding in the tortellini I mix green beans into the pesto sauce too which he will eat all up (but won't touch by themselves).

-If he helps me cook dinner he is more likely to try it and have a positive reaction. I gave him a big mixing bowl and made a pasta salad and put spiral pasta, sautéed peppers and brocolli, canned tuna, parmasean, garlic, basil and olive oil into the mix. He ate all the peppers up, no questions asked and same with the tuna - both new foods.[/quote]
