Summarize the following:
Creating an eating schedule will help to teach your child that eating is a part of everyday life and that feeding herself is something she will need to be able to do when she grows up. However, just because meals should be routine does not mean that they should be lacking in fun. Pick out colorful toddler utensils, plates, and bowls for your child to eat off of. Look for ones with fun designs like pictures of dinosaurs or animals. There will be days when your child will simply want you to feed her and that's okay. The next day, you may find that she is again up to the task of feeding herself. Her desire to feed herself is your chance to let her have at it. Be prepared for your child's independence to be messy; remember that you are teaching her a life skilla little pasta sauce on your tablecloth is worth it. Reassure your child when she makes a mistake, no matter how messy that mistake may be. The important thing is that she learns from her mistakes and keeps on practicing. Try not to get frustrated when she makes a mistake and food goes flying. While it may be annoying to clean up after your toddler, learning how to use utensils is an essential part of your toddler's early life. Keeping a positive attitude will help your child to keep trying. Explain why you are choosing to use a spoon, rather than a fork, when you eat cereal with milk. Likewise, explain the necessity of using a fork when eating pasta. Helping your child to understand your choices will help her to make her own choices in the future. Give allowances during feeding time and be reasonable with your expectations. You can't expect her to finish all of her food in five minutes just because you said so. Know that feeding time can be daunting to her as well. The important thing is to make sure that feeding time should be an enjoyable time for both you and your toddler. If your child loves spaghetti, try introducing her to other pastas or using a different sauce. If she loves bananas, add them to her pancakes, oatmeal or yogurt. Doing this will help to keep her interested in her food so that she can keep practicing using her utensils.

summary: Create a schedule for meals. Support your child when she wants to be independent. Remember that mistakes are ok. Explain what you are doing during meal times. Be patient and reasonable. Try to incorporate variations of your child's favorite food into each meal.

to mince, chop, or puree foods. Your blender is more versatile than just making smoothies. If your recipe calls for a finely minced or chopped ingredient, pulse the blender a few times until it reaches the right consistency. For pureed foods, leave the blender on a little longer. Try pulsing carrots, garlic, and herbs in the blender to chop them. Puree your vegetables in the blender before adding them to a soup or a sauce for a perfectly smooth texture. If you're having a hard time blending firmer foods, like nuts, or fibrous foods like celery, make sure your blender blades are sharp. If you're not sure how to sharpen them, read the manufacturer's instructions. Whether you're using a hand mixer, a stand mixer, or an immersion blender, your mixer can function as a useful substitute for a food processor. Just place the food into a large, durable bowl and lower in the mixer, then turn it on. A mixer is especially helpful when you're combining a liquid mixture with a dry mixture, like for baked goods. You can also use a mixer to whip meringues, mayo, and homemade whipped cream. A hand-held immersion blender is perfect for blending homemade mayo or pesto, and its compact design will take up a lot less space in your kitchen than a food processor would. If you have a hook attachment, you can use your stand mixer to mix dough for bread, pies, and cookies. If you love a freshly-brewed cup of coffee in the morning, you may already have a coffee grinder. Just measure out the ingredients you need and pulse the grinder for a few seconds, or until everything's broken down. This is a great option if you want to add chopped nuts to a delicious dessert. If you have whole spices like allspice or cardamom seeds, grind them to release their fragrance before you use them in a dish! If you need to turn an ingredient into a rice- or flour-like consistency, a manual grinder can make quick work of the job. Just place the food into the bowl on the grinder, then turn it on if it's electric, or crank the handle if it's manual. The result you'll get will depend on the size of the holes in your grinder and the type of food that you're grinding. This is a great way to make riced cauliflower, a popular low-carb alternative to traditional rice. You can also use your food mill to quickly process cooked potatoes for a creamy mash.

summary: Use a blender Combine liquids and solids in a mixer. Chop nuts and spices in a coffee grinder if you have one. Grind softer food in a ricer or a food mill.

Also get any kind of ice cream. For a bonus you can get mini chocolate chips (regular ones work just as well) and put them around the outside of the ice cream. You can put any kind of chip on it, white chocolate, dark chocolate, butterscotch, etc. If you are not going to eat it right away, put it on the plate and in a freezer. On the other hand if you can't resist put back on the plate and enjoy this tasty treat!
summary: Grab two cookies of your choice. Set out a plate and put one cookie down. Add a generous scoop of ice cream on the first cookie. Stack the other cookie on top of the ice cream layer. Add extras, as desired. Serve or freeze.
