So, since we've moved to France, Meredith has decided that she loves yogurt. I think she'd eat it at every meal, if we let her. She also loves opening our little fridge and choosing her flavor (we've taken to buying the variety pack with 4 different flavors, but she enjoys them all). In addition, she'll have some fruit (a pear or half a banana) and part of a croissant or some bread along with her standard beverage, diluted orange juice (we've managed to find the calcium-added Tropicana, bonus!). Alternatively, she still enjoys a bowl of cereal with raisins now and then.
In the evening, she'll sometimes have a yogurt or string cheese as soon as we get home from school. Dinner is usually a hamburger, a hot dog, or a fish patty, although she still likes her cold pasta and rice. We'll often wrap it up with a cookie -- she's been allowed to pick out a package that looks appealing to her and Bill and I have been pretty psyched about her choices!
The kicker, though, is that she eats better at school than at home. Her teachers have all mentioned that she eats well ("Elle mange très bien!") which is a major compliment around here. On the school lunch menu: veal scaloppini with roasted potatoes; beef bourguignon with pasta; rabbit (!); filet of sole and rice pilaf. Then, in the afternoon, she gets a snack, which is usually a pain au chocolat (what we'd call a chocolate croissant, what Meredith calls "bread with chocolate") or a tartine (french bread and butter with jam), or a chausson aux pommes (like an apple turnover, but better).
