πŸ§€ 100 Foods Before 1 | #48: Cheddar Cheese

Today’s new food: mild cheddar cheese! πŸ§€πŸ’›

I added a little mild cheddar into one of our homemade veggie chicken nuggets, so Nate could try it in a familiar food. 😊

One new ingredient at a time, different flavors and textures, and no pressure to finish everything. The goal is simply exposure, exploration, and learning to enjoy a variety of foods. πŸ₯°

And yes… the nugget disappeared pretty quickly. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ΆπŸ»
