When you have a picky eater

What do you do when you have a picky eater?

Our daughter has turned out to be a picky eater. It has gotten hard on trying to get her to eat new things. She will either not give it a try at all or lick it a little and put it down and yes, that be all she does to it. Yes, I do keep trying to give her new and healthy things to eat (so please if you comment do not say negative things as they will be deleted is not called for. ) I will list all the foods she likes and a list for the foods we have tried that she dislikes.

The list of foods that she will eat
She loves whole milk (and yes we have finally got her to drink the milk with putting vitamins in it. the doctor recommend a vitamin to us that she will take. and that is enfamil poly vi sol with iron liquid multivitamins. If you have a little one that will not take a vitamin after you have tried different kinds, get this kind and mix it in with their milk. It doesnt change the taste of it or even the color of the milk. They cannot even smell it. So it is very good. )
Back to the list of foods lol
she loves biscuits and that is basically the only bread like product she will eat.
she will eat cinnamon rolls
pop tarts
yogurt
chicken (pretty much any chicken no matter how it is cooked so glad for that)
she likes cookies but the only kind we have gotten her to eat is oreos and yes it is has to be the oreo brand or she would not eat them lol
she will eat oatmeal every now and again.
she loves to eat strawberries (and yes that the only kind of fruit i have gotten her to eat)
cheese puffs
suckers
french fries
mac and cheese but only the kraft mac and cheese with the powder cheese mix

that is pretty much. There maybe something I am missing I am sure lol

Things she will not eat that we have tried to get her to eat
watermelon
hotdogs
beans (any kind of beans and yes we have tried them all lol)
sweet peas
broccoli
tomatoes
apples
applesauce (the one time she tried applesauce she started wiping it off her tongue, she couldnt get wiped off fast enough for her.)
bananas (we have tried this one multiply times but she may either lick it or take one bit and that be it but she will eat banana pudding though lol)

I think that is about it and there may have been some more that we have tried and she did not like but can not think of them at the moment.

We have been trying to get her to drink the pediasure for kids but so far the only way I have found that she will even drink it is making her a smoothie with yogurt and strawberries mixed in with it and then it maybe only like a drink or two maybe three at the most but she will drink some. I have even made it in a form of ice cream (oh that is another thing she likes to eat ice cream lol) with adding strawberries, yogurt, and ice to it. She will eat a little bit of it and that is eat. but she will eat a little of it.

We do keep trying to give her things to try so far this is all we have gotten her to eat. Yes i know at least she is eating is what matters and we have started given her vitamins with her milk now so that is helping with the vitamins she needs but I would still like to know the tips and tricks that you have used on your kids.
