Indeed, adding a creative twist to mealtimes can make it a joyful experience for everyone involved, providing an opportunity for bonding and culinary exploration. Theme-based meals sound like a delightful way to encourage adventurous eating!
It's nice to see different approaches that parents use to feed their toddlers well. Themes are indeed fun, especially if the child gets to join in the process or help prepare something related to the theme! It can also spark some educational opportunities, which is always great.
I ensure there's always fresh fruit within reach - slices of cold, juicy watermelon or chillies, washed blueberries, and strawberries are my go-tos. Also, homemade beetroot and carrot puffs are a huge hit in my house. I make sure they're cut into cute shapes like stars using cookie cutters to increase the fun factor! For something savoury, I'll prepare munchable carrot and celery sticks with hummus or tzatziki dips, mmm yummy!
My toddlers also love fuelling their hunger pangs with crispy, home-fried tofu puffs. The little crumbles are also great in soups for a quick, hearty meal.
It's nice to see how different foods are appreciated by toddlers across the board! Crispy tofu is indeed a delight, and it's versatile too--a good source of plant-based protein that can be eaten on its own or added to dishes for extra texture and taste.

As a parent, I try to hide (or rather, subtly disguise, ha!) healthy foods in my son's diet. Crispy tofu is a versatile ingredient which I sometimes use as a crunchy substitute for meat in dishes like fried rice or noodles. Cubed tofu can also double up as a protein source in salad bowls, giving it a nice Asian fusion touch - a mama's trick to keeping the dish interesting!Some people may be surprised at how versatile tofu is!

I like baking my tofu with cornmeal for an extra crispy finish. It gives the tofu a nice kick and varies the textures when served alongside fluffy rice. Pressed and diced tofu also makes a regular appearance in my home stir-fries - a healthy alternative to meat that my little one seems to enjoy because of its chewy bite!
But the best has got to be grilled tofu steaks - a quick and easy meal which I marinate with teriyaki sauce. The firm yet tender slabs are a delight when served with some roasted veggies and rice. Mmm, now I'm hungry!
