Fun food review for parents with picky eaters! We love Carnation Cafe, but our 3 year old is a terrible eater. She has become so picky and eats very few things. Today she tried the PB&J Mickey's Painter's Palette. This was such a cute, bright, colorful meal. The bread was shaped like fish and the peanut butter and jelly were served on the side. She had so much fun making her own sandwich that when she was finished she actually WANTED to eat it!! The meal also included banana slices, grapes, carrots, celery, raisins, and apple juice for a healthy, well-balanced meal. Best if all... Mommy was allowed to fully enjoy her fried pickles! Woohoo!!
Wow! Haha, I did food prep at Carnation Cafe today, my heart is overflowing with happiness when reading this post! I made the pb&j plates this morning! I feel so proud to see our hard work bring joy to your little one! That is what it's all about! 😃😃😃😃 - rawnuhCM

Is she a picky eater too? - RCmom 2590.4 #21 2:02PM
ya, kinda. She likes to eat healthy and doesn't really eat meat. - Minnis2Society 360.0 #391 2:17PM
Lexi is one smart cookie! 😉 - Vegan7LuvsStitch 799.8 #117 3:04PM
So does my little sister every disney visit she eats Mac n cheese veggies or fish. Meat she doesn't eat all at the parks sometimes at home kosher meat. This looks fun and yummy for her - mante90 6.2 #8922 3:45PM
How awesome!! This look like a light, healthy snack for adults too. :) I wouldn't mind having that if I wasn't hungry enough for a full meal. - Armenda

Very cute idea, I love that they have DIY snacks. Plus, a fried pickle is never a bad thing to snack on! - Sarafina

Yum! Looks like they made it healthier...we last ate there before the re-model and my youngest ordered (and loved) that menu item - but one of the sides was mini-marshmallows 😊 - mouseprincess

I couldn't agree more with your post!! I have 2 very picky eaters and they both ordered this and loved it minus the carrots and celery. LOL!! - Ldgsg

They've made it a bit different, healthier options all around which is great BUT it used to literally come on a painter's palette where your ingredients were like the "paint". Not as cool on a plate... - cynDOLEwhip

And yuck at sugar free jam, that just means they've used fake sugars which are terrible! - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 3:08PM
Thanks for the post! We have two very picky eaters and they love pb&j. - CherryTreeLane

This is such a cool thing. All of my kids were picky eaters. They get it from their momma. - neverenoughDL

My son loved it too! I had to go buy boxes of raisins so he could make his own PB& smily raisin samiches at home. My daughters only complaint was the bread falls apart. - GoofyMom77

This was a huge favorite of ours when our kids were small. It gave us 20 minutes of peace: 10 making the sandwich, and 10 eating it. Too bad they took out all the dishes we like! - DizKahuna

My 4-yr old is an incredibly picky eater--she won't touch most of the foods in the parks (unless it's a sweet treat of some kind...). She absolutely LOVES the Painter's Pallate, though! Works for me, as Carnation Cafe has an awesome veggie burger for me, and chicken sandwich for my husband. 😃 - MommaMel
