Are great recipes the answer to fussy eating?

I have been watching an interesting — but not surprising — trend on social media. If I write a blog, it rarely gets as much reach as a recipe that I post. In fact, frequently recipes get 2–3 times the views.

Both blogs and recipes take me a fair while to put together:

- Blogs — take research and then the time to write, edit and post with images etc.

- Recipes — involve an idea for something I feel may be a win for a fussy eater, then time to test, adjust, perhaps even cook a few times to perfect and then time to photograph and post.

If recipes get more views does this mean they are more helpful in resolving fussy eating?

Are recipes really the answer to fussy eating?

And why is it that recipes usually get double the attention of a blog?

1. Personal preference — If you asked me which is the most valuable, I would say the blogs every time. There would be some bias in that though as I love to both write and read and I know that’s not everyone’s comfy space 😊

From an experience perspective though, I know that if you are just beginning your push to resolve fussy eating, the most important things to do are not focused on what foods to serve.
