Food for Children
Does anybody have any recipes that both the parents and children enjoy that are a little bit out of the norm? I made Middle Eastern this week and my daughter really enjoyed it. I'd like to help her expand her pallet, especially if Mom and Dad will like it.

You could try that. |
Burrito Pie: Tortilla - Beans - Cheese - Tortilla - Beans - Cheese - Tortilla - Beans - Cheese -Tortilla.
Put a paper towel between that and the plate, heat it in the micro and enjoy. You can also add Taco Bell Sauce or Taco seasoning for flavor. Then everyone can pick salsa, sour cream, guacamole, whatever they like. You can make more or fewer layers also. Good stuff. |
I would say to just offer whatever you like to eat. There was short period of time where my 2-year old would eat whatever we were eating, even curry. Then the stomach flu hit, and puking up food seemed to make him regress a lot.
That said, most kids seem to like gyoza. My mom used to call them "Chinese tacos" to make other kids try them. They usually ended up loving them. |

Whenever my dad was left in charge of making dinner we had chilimac.
One box macaroni and cheese mixed with one can of chili. It doesnt get more exquisite than that. |

Bottom line, don't cater to the whining and don't adjust your menu to boring kid-foods. Cook what you like and they will quickly learn to like it. |
This reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes strip: he looks at what is on his dinner plate, and asks, "can I get a new plate? Someone threw up on this one."
