Kid Stuff Request

Hey guys! What do you or people you know make that is super kid friendly (helathy and gets eaten)? I feel like I feed Cole the same stuff a lot of the time. He eats any type of fruit under the sun, but we sometimes struggle to get protien, whole grains and veggies in. Any suggestions? Here's a list of stuff he LOVES (some healthy and some not so healthy) and that he will eat most of the time:

*low fat turkey hot dogs
*chunks of ground beef (with or without taco seasoning or Italian seasoning)
*chunks of chicken
*open face grilled cheese sandwiches on wheat bread
*peanut buter and honey on whole wheat toast
*cream of wheat with cran rasins
*oatmeal (especially the instant sugary kind... :) )
*toaseted bagels
* raw carrots (but I wonder if he gets much nutrition out of them - he still has only 6 front teeth.)
*cold cooked peas
*cold cooked corn
*steamed broccoli
*any fruit
*anything he can dip in ketchup, peanut butter or yogurt
*anything he can drink through a straw (especially fruit smoothies)


Any ideas? I especially need better veggie ideas and snack ideas. We're on a gold fish, animal cracker and pretzel kick...

Have you tried letting him dip a whole wheat mini pita in hummus (both available at Trader Joe's)? That is a healthy snack I guess...
