kid friendly topic

[Guest guest]

On the topic of kid-friendly foods I have to

say that most everything I make and the recipes I share

are kid friendly; at least to my kids. But I have a 9 year old

and a 12 year old, so their tastes might differ from

younger children's. When I put onions or peppers in a food

I chop them to a small mince so they can't pick them out

or notice them so much, but with mushrooms (which

both my kids loath) I leave big enough for them to remove,

and if I am lucky, they will hand them over to me. *lol*

I do make new things weekly, or try one or two new recipes,

and my kids like giving me their reviews. They know I am

going to mention it here, so I am sure to ask their

" expert " opinion. If they like the recipe, we put it in a computer

folder on my desktop to be rotated back into our menu planning.

If they don't like it so much, we leave it out of the main rotation.

 

Meschelle, I think it is wonderful that your son currently

eats everything you set before him. That is great! I hope

he continues right on through those more challenging

toddler years as well. Also, congratulations on the new

baby. My eldest is an October child, and the only set back to

that was having to go through those hot humid summer

months during my last trimester. Keep the AC on! *lol* I

wish you all the best.

 

Anyway, this is a great topic and I hope more will share

how they make mealtime in their homes kid friendly.

I know I would appreciate reading some ideas.

Thanks for your response, I will try and keep it on.

I stay more hot than cool now, man I wonder what it

will be like when it gets hotter. OH BOY! Take care, PT!
