[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids love tuna, specifically cold tuna pasta salad. I add celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, green onions and a dill-lemonade-mayo dressing. They request this every week in summer. In winter I make a hot version of Tuna Helper from scratch only I actually use canned salmon and call it tuna. One of my kids also likes sashimi though the other won't eat it. I get it from the grocery store for a treat. Our pediatrician wants kids to eat seafood at least oce a week.[/quote] OP here, that's more or less what my mother made -- just mayo and salt and pepper instead of a dressing. My kids adore pasta, love celery, cucumbers and sometiems peppers, but adamantly refuse to eat salad dressing of any kind. They eat mayo--but only when they don't know it. They're very difficult, but, in general, the things they eat are very healthy (raw fruits and vegetables, grilled chicken, salmon)... they'll eat salmon, so maybe that's an idea of how to ease them into it. I haven't tried tuna steak, but they like swordfish. I guess my problem is they're very unpredictable in their pickiness, and I'm just trying to steer them towards somethings that are predictable and easy -- like a can of tuna! I assumed that Tuna Helper is basically a boxed version of Tuna Casserole, and was thinking maybe they'd be convinced by the Helper logo... if they eat I can maybe work up a tuna casserole and then we'll be on to tuna sandwiches![/quote]
