ISO food ideas for young kids

[Guest guest]

Shelly,

 

We got our son to eat good food and especially veggies by the way we cook. I

used to make pasta, rice, couscous, potato or another starch. I steamed greens

or another veggieand mixed it with a little cheese, potato, cottage cheese, etc

.. Put this in a blender and serve the " gravy over the starch. Also there are

certain ways to present the food so it is fun. Maybe take a slice of bread on

a plate. Put 2 cuke slices at the bottom for " wheels " , carrot slices for

" windows " and olive slices for " headlight " and you have a bus. Tell them a

story about a bus when presenting it. Check out the book " Play with your Food "

Innovative presentations.

ISO food ideas for young kids

 

I have gotten a little off track and need help! We decided to

become

vegetarian last year for health reasons and were striving to prepare

meals that would be appealing to the whole family. I have a tendency

to go crazy over all these new, exciting, flavorful recipes that my

husband and I LOVE, and then I end up making things my kids won't eat!

I'm hoping people here who have small kids (AKA the picky ages) can

share what works for their kids, what meals they like and ask for. I'm

especially looking for people who have not always fed their kids

vegetarian or vegan foods and have successfully switched from an omni

diet. A lot of people point me toward The Vegan Lunch Box, and

although her food is amazing, my kids put most of her food in the " NO

WAY " category Thanks for the help!
