Mozzarella stix from Alexia

Since the kids like string cheese and eat them everyday (and sometimes multiple times a day) I decided to try a variation and bought these mozzarella sticks.

Both of them rejected them right away. On a hunch I peeled off the breading and bingo! Iam starting to notice a pattern - they don't like stuff that has a 'fried' texture.

Another tasty and healthy way to sneak proteins and calcium into the twins. They have already had skyr before so this was not a big deal for them. I like this soft cheese because it does not have the chalky texture that some of the greek yogurts have.

Laughing cow cheese bites

One big problem I have, as mentioned in my previous posts, is stuff getting stuck to the roof of their little mouths. This leads to gagging and choking and sometimes throwing up. Normal cheese cubes and string cheese - same trouble. I saw a commercial for the 35 calorie wedges from the Laughing Cow and went hunting for them for myself. I never did find them but totally lucked out with their cheese bites.

These are soft, actually too soft for the kids to feed themselves. So I do the feeding and my son did his little dance when he first tasted them. Now they both ask for 'chheegg' at all times of the day.
