This would make Andrew very happy. My concern is that if he eats so many chips he won't even eat the few nutritious things he does eat. But it is worth a try.

Most people tell me, "Just give him healthy food. He'll eat it when he's hungry." This is not true for Andrew. He will go for days eating only his breakfast (hot gf cereal with soy milk) if he is not offered something on his personal approved list. Sometimes even IF he is offered items he generally eats. Someday I will be able to fing clothes that fit him...

i feel hopeful know that other mom's are going through this as well. My son who has always been the best eater has suddenly stoped. He is so picky i don't know what to do. but i have a recipe for some sweet potatoe soup that almost always works.
Sweet Potatoe Soup
1 T olive oil
1 orangic onion, chopped
1t cumin
1t coriander
pinch of cayenne
1t salt
2 lbs. organic sweet potatoes
4C organic homemade chicken stock /veg stock
2T organic chopped parsely or cilantro

Heat olive oil in a 4-quart soup pot. Add chopped onion and saute until soft. Add spices and salt. peel sweet potatoes adn cut into chunks.Add sweet potatoes and broth to onion s. Bring to a boil. reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until tender with a fork. Blend soup in small batches in an eletric blender. Then transfer to serving bowls and garnish with parsley or cilantro. Good Luck and enjoy!!
