The other night, it was hodgepodge dinner. I had an inspiration for encouraging the kids to eat. I put 6 things on their plate, just a tablespoon or two or a slice of each item. The selection: mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, buttered baguette, watermelon, grilled eggplant, grilled chicken, sliced avocado.The rule: they could have seconds of anything, but 3 of the items had to be completely consumed before any seconds would be given.
Erin ate avocado, cheese, tomatoes. Robin ate bread, watermelon, chicken. Erin got more tomatoes and avocado. Robin got more chicken. Mama felt good that her kids ate well.

Awesome!! Ev sounds like she eats like Erin. She'd just eat cherry tomatoes and avocados for every meal if we let her. Avoids meat and bread at all costs. LOL.
