Offer her all types of foods in different sizes, shapes, colors and
textures. Offer her different "dips" to dip them in - ketchup, Ranch
dressing, mayo, etc. Sooner or later she will get hungry enough to eat
that whichis in front of her.

Do not pander to her whims, or you will end up in an endless power
struggle over food with your child. If my son (also 2) doesn't eat
his breakfast or lunch, you can bet he eats his dinner, because he is
hungry. Most of the time, though, he eats what I give him (and is an
excellent eater) because I have taken this approach with him from the
beginning. There are very few foods he won't eat. (And, BTW, I do not
give him any "character" foods as I see them more as playthings than
food items. My only exception to this is Goldfish-type crackers
(organic whole-grain version).
