[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I know where you are coming from. When our DD was little, she needed to eat within 5 minutes of our getting in the front door. She was very sensitive to hunger and once she was over the limit, became a total mess. And giving her a snack and eating dinner later wouldn't have helped, as her bedtime was soon thereafter. With two WOHP, it created a lot of pressure for quick toddler dinner. It gets better as they get a little older. At some point she was able to hold out for 30 minutes and we could eat as a family (in the dining room! with cloth napkins and tablecloth!), so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Just be warned that there is a risk of your DC not having as broad food horizons if DC eats separately from you.

What we relied on:
* leftovers, if they weren't too spicy
* frozen meatballs
* smoked salmon
* crab cakes
* shrimp
* frozen veggies (peas, corn, broccoli) with no sauce or seasoning
* eggs (scrambled, omelet or quiche)
* canadian bacon
* fruit
* cheese
* yogurt
* soups

As for eating meat... Remember that toddler don't have many molars and aren't very good at using them yet. That means it is really difficult for them to chew well. We found that ground meats were much more popular with DD.[/quote]
