Re: Foods/meals for kids

How old are the kids and what do they like? Any dietary restrictions? My nephew who just turned 11 eats mainly junk food :( He was over this weekend and refused to eat a normal dinner. So finally I gave in & made him 1st a turkey & cheese sandwich which isn't so bad but also made hot dogs.

Anyways try omelettes/whole wheat toast with butter, pancakes/waffles for breakfast.

I don't make any special dishes or food for my children, they share the same food we eat(desi and non desi).
But they like spaghetti, grilled chops, cereal, english breakfast, rice, roti(chappati) etc

My three year old likes cooking pizza, cup cakes, muffins, pancake with me, and I'm planning to make vanilla biscuits and ginger breadman with him in future inshaAllah. (let me know if you need the recipes)

Try this from chef Michael Smith:

Chicken Dippers

1 cup of flour
2 eggs
1 cup of oatmeal
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, sliced into1/2 inch wide pieces
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Set up a breading station by putting the flour, in a baking dish. Whisk eggs and pour into another baking dish and sprinkle oatmeal into a 3rd baking dish.

Dip the chicken pieces into the flour first, shaking off any excess. Then into the egg mixture, again shaking off the excess and finally into the oatmeal.

Lay on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through.

ruiner idk why but i read that as “chicken diapers” :smack: damn stupid lenses :no:

My nephew eats microwave popcorn..thats his new favorite thing.. mashallah, he has a healthy appetite and eats everything his parents eat. (xcept for desi food…which they dont eat often any way).

oh and uh…maybe im stating a blindingly obvious here but Soda= BIG NO NO for kids!!!

Re: Foods/meals for kids

microwave popcorn isn’t good for health…too much salt and preservatives. I buy dried corn and make popcorn with it by adding little bit salt. Taste good and fresh.

Thx for ideas....m boyz will eat some veggies and fruits- raw broccoli, carrots, apples. They do well for bfast - french toast, pancakes or cereal. They eat PB n Jelly or grilled cheese for lunch, or (of course pizza, chicken nuggets, fries lol) but dinner is a prob, they dont like meat (except for littlest one who I have to guard my steak from when we have it). They dont like cooked veggies. They will eat plain cooked pasta with nothing on it. Fussy little buggers. They dont like gravy or anything "swimey" (wet). They drink nicely - only milk, [EMAIL="100@%"]100% juice or water - no soda at all. I just wish dinnertime could be easier.

Chicken wraps, baguettes, cold or hot pasta and noodle dishes go down well wid kids.

Re: Foods/meals for kids

Every child is a pakka muslim bhai saab, doesn't matter if he likes meat or veggies. I know you are a veggie samosa eater but don't know why are you being sarcastic for?
