Good and Different Recipes for Kids?




Tara C


My daughter generally eats pretty healthy, but I am tired of eating the same things. We eat a lot of pita pizzas, nitrate free organic hot dogs and pasta. She loves shrimp, but as you know it can get quite expensive. Perhaps some recipes to stretch the shrimp. She doesn't really like chicken that much. She loves steak, again expensive, but also not that healthy.


Answer
HEALTHY POTATO SOUP

3 cups potatoes, cubed
1 cup water
1/2 cup carrot, sliced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 tsp. salt
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 1/2 cups lowfat milk
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 lb cheese, grated

Cook the vegetables (first 5 ingredients) until done. Don't drain!
Add next 4 ingredients (bouillon through cheese). Cook until thickened.

Makes 3 - 4 servings.


HEALTHY & EASY TUNA SANDWICHES

1 can tuna
4 tbsp non-fat sour cream
2 tbsp sweet relish
1/4 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
dash of salt and pepper

Mix tuna, non-fat sour cream, sweet relish (add more or less to taste), cheese and seasoning. Spread on toasted bread or on crackers - it's delicious!
(I think it's best with whole wheat or squaw bread.)

Enjoy!

nutritious meals for kids ideas?

I need simple healthy ideas on what to feed a 6 year old. I looked it up on google but I can not imagine a kid eating some of the recipes I gathered from that search. I mean stuffed peppers really? Anyhow I am emergency babysitting and I'm not use to children. Any ideas would be much appreciated.


Answer
I would recommend fresh fruit (watermelon, strawberry, apples, pears) or carrot sticks. Sandwiches (ham and cheese or low sugar peanut butter and jelly) and skim milk. String cheese with crackers. Chicken noodle or vegetable soup.

Six year olds will generally eat foods that they see as normal. Keep it really simple and straightforward. Adding a little ranch or peanut butter to some veggies (or fruit with peanut butter) or a little sugar (put it on yourself) to the fruit will make a picky eater more likely to eat some things.

Make sure the child dose not have any allergies and ask them what they like to eat.
