I agree with the above PP. my kid loves rice too. I bought the Annie’s brand lentil soup and drain it slightly then serve over rice. It’s an easy healthy dinner cooked in less than 5 mins. She usually has tomatoes/cucumbers/ carrots on the side.

My best advice is to come up with 4-5 easy meals that you know that your kids will eat, and just serve them on the same day every week.

For example:

Monday - fresh fruit, fresh veggies, hummus, olives, pita bread

Tuesday - quesadillas, canned refried beans, fresh fruit

Wednesday - canned soup (I like Amy's), salad in a bag, loaf of bread

Thursday - rotisserie chicken, steamed veggies in a bag, microwaved rice

Friday - Amy's pizza, raw veggies and ranch dip


It sounds like it will get old, but surprisingly, it really doesn't. And it frees up your mind for so many other things.

I have rice cooker, pressure cooker, crockpot and instant pot, but I only use rice cooker on a weekly basis. Please recommend easy/fast cook books or website for recipes targeted age group 2-7, and they are picky eater. We don't get home till past 6pm, and I especially want quick dinner recipes.

Thank you.
