Besides yogurt and leben which I see selling are a small fortune
what else can I feed them?
and where’s the cheapest place to buy leben, apple sauce, string cheese etc in Flatbush …
My kids are so picky they’ll taste the difference in noodles and pizza right away 🙈

Planning on making matzoh pizza, chicken cutlets, cake, brownies to hold us over what do ur toddlers live on

One year my toddler survived an entire Pesach on hot dogs and fries. At a hotel when he could have had anything. Oh, and cucumber

Pesach is really tough with picky toddlers. One year, my son literally ate only yogurt and soup croutons the entire Pesach. My other kids usually eat potato chips (so healthy, right?), sliced cheddar cheese, pureed soups, and salted nuts (if no worry about choking). Hatzlacha!
My kids are now mostly teens/pre-teens and they still refuse to eat matzah, except at the seder. Which honestly, is not such a bad thing- it really destroys our stomachs. But they do B"H eat lots of meat, now.

I bought Pesach cookies, which he seems to like. Also apple sauce. He likes eggs, so that’s helpful as well.

I make delicious muffins and other baked goods with almond flour. You can get a huge bag of almond flour from Costco for about $10. We also eat tons of fresh fruit. You can get a large tub of plain yogurt and top with honey and it’s healthier and less expensive than individual yogurts.
