I've probably done it all. On my rate lazy days when I don't feel like doing their dishes I might shove all their fruits, veggies, and staple in one bowl.
I also used to mix their fruits and veggies together, and then put the staple in a separate bowl.

Now I have those cute plates/trays that separate each in it's own slot so I'm not carrying 4-6 bowls across the house.

The plates with separate slots help me figure out if they're being picky in certain food groups.

What do you like doing best?

I use the divided baby plates and put the vegetables in the largest section, their fruit in one small section and the GliderKids Staple cubes in the other small section.

When I travel and run out of divided plates to leave in the freezer ready to serve by my son, I have just put everything on one plate - my gliders do not see to care.

The plates are just easier for me to manage. I give them a little more veggies than fruit as well - if they are still hungry, I want them to eat a little more of the veggies to make sure everyone is full and happy.

Ya that's pretty much what I do now Candy.

I got these cute fall themed divided plates and do the same as you but a few of mine have an extra spot great for a dollop of yogurt.
