Finger foods, finger foods...

SO BORED WITH FINGER FOODS. I need serious help. I'm even thinking about buying a book. I'm such an internet girl, but I'm so bored... starting to want a good ole fashioned cookbook. Do they make those for finger foods? Don't get me wrong, I am not looking to spend my entire day cooking baby meals... that's not the point. I am, however, bored of the same ole same ole. I'm pretty sure my girl is, too.

I struggle because I'm trying to avoid processed foods, but my girl doesn't really like ground beef (so far), and chicken just gets so. so. old. I'm also struggling because though my girl does love to feed herself, she is very selective about the fruits and vegetables that she will actually put in her mouth. I end up feeding her purees (which I'm totally fine with for now) and hoping that someday she will actually feed them to herself. Perhaps I'm just beginning the "you can't leave the table until you finish your vegetables" stage. Ugh. I mean, it's so much fun to make your child happy! But can I let myself give my girl ice cream when she won't eat green beans? Of course not. I have to make her trudge through the vegetables.

And who am I kidding? It's not like every time I give her ice cream, she's going to think I'm the most amazing mother ever. In reality, she's probably be thinking, "it's about time woman!"

Well, here's to new recipes (suggestions needed), more veggies, and helping my girl overcome her "Eve tendencies!"
