Fun Food Tips

Serve frozen peas or other vegetables right out of the freezer as finger food, - they're sweet.

Puzzle sandwiches: Cut a sandwich into odd shapes that fit together like a puzzle.

Serve crepes with many different fillings.

Make and use sprinkles: Chop, grind, or mix together 1/3 cup granola, 1/3 cup nuts, and 1/3 cup wheat germ. Sprinkle on yogurt, fruit, ice cream, cottage cheese.

Serve shape pancakes: When frying pancakes, pour the batter into numbers, letters, or shapes. Let your child choose some shapes to have you prepare.

Try having breakfast foods for dinner, and leftovers from dinner for breakfast.

Mix plain sparkling water with fruit juice and add chunks of fruit for decoration.

Have a winter picnic on a blanket in the house!

Cut sandwiches, bologna, or cheese into shapes with cookie cutters.

Prepare soft shell tortillas with melted cheese, chopped vegetables, meat, or refried beans. Roll like a jellyroll or sprinkle flat like a pizza.

Dip less desired foods in appealing dips: cheese dip, bean dip, sweet mustard, ketchup, cream dips, salsa, yogurt, honey, etc.

Create international meals: plan a meal with a theme from another culture.

Make a variety of healthy shakes loaded with fruit, yogurt, and honey.

Bake a simple muffin or quick bread recipe with your child. Have a tea party, using the baked goods for the treat.

Make kabobs or "hors d'oeuvres" using pretzels for skewers, with meatballs, fruit chunks, cheese cubes, salami, etc.

Make cinnamon apples: Cut apples into slices and place a small amount of cinnamon sugar on the plate. Let your child dip the apples into the cinnamon.

Same food, more fun: Prepare foods that you can eat with your fingers and then serve in muffin tins, pie plates, or allow your child to occasionally use a fancy plate or serving dish.

Ive just recently given up meat.
Just looking for some meal ideas for the kids.
Ive gone on to many sites and they seem quite elaborate.
I need something SIMPLE and tasty.
Thanks in advance :o)



Answer
I like the basics: peanut butter sandwiches. But tofu and meat substitutes taste great and are healthy. You can slice it and put it in a taco. Hummus vegetable wraps. Try vegcooking.com or theveganunchbox.com. You can rent cookbooks from libraries. Pretzels with peanutbutter. http://vegkitchen.com/kid-friendly-recipes.htm. hope I helped!
