Turtleschell I feel your pain - every time MIL is here she buys DD more random cr*p to eat.

DD is also fussy, or at least she goes through phases of being like that. I just keep giving her everything we're eating so that it's 'normal' to have it on her plate. I sometimes find that to get her to eat new foods I need to make sure there are none of her regular favourites on her plate and then she's quite adventurous with trying, even if it is only one or two bites. DD's extreme fussiness periods generally tend to coincide with teething or being sick.

DD's current favourite thing to do is help to get the veggies out the fridge and take a bite out of each of them, whole, raw etc.
