Both my kids are in a picky phase right now and I'm wracking my brain for meals that I *know* they will eat. Sadly, it's pretty much pizza and chicken nuggets, but I refuse to go down that path for most meals of the week. So I'm curious....
What HEALTHY meal is your DC guaranteed to eat? What not-so-healthy meal is your DC guaranteed to eat? |

Homemade mac & cheese-- oddly, she doesn't like the boxed kind.
Pasta-- I throw vegetables (broccoli, usually, sometimes asparagus or peas) into the pasta water during the last minute before draining. Then I put a dab of olive oil and fresh parmesan on top. Turkey burgers-- I let her stick her hands in bowl once all the ingredients are in, and squish the raw meat around to mix it. She LOVES wholegrain/ wild/ brown rices. So anytime I'm making something that would be good with rice on the side, I make it a fancy rice for the extra nutrition. |

salmon
broccoli in any quantities (it's my saving grace) mac and cheese - as opposed to PP, it can only be boxed - the gourme m&c i made at home was frowned upon most fruits cheerios almonds raisins milk cheese whole grains (bread, pasta, rice) That's about it. |

Cheese ravioli with spinach. I just throw some frozen chopped spinach in the water while the ravioli boils and use some garlic powder and a dab of salt.
Scrambled eggs. Sometimes I throw in spinach or silken tofu and cheese. Smoothies. You can throw in spinach or silken tofu to add nutrients and not change the flavor. |
