Answer 2

tacos. You can put fish sticks in them and add tomatoes, lettuce, etc. and they'll love em! Stir Fry also seems to work. I feel ya tho. I am not a big fan of veggies and I wish my mom had been more creative!! Raw veggies appeal to kids too... celery with peanut butter, carrot sticks, etc. You can use a "lite" ranch dressing and many kids will eat more veggies if there is ranch involved! Good luck! Try the familyfun website below for some good ideas!

Answer 3

My kids eat lots of veggies. My secret is a product called Crazy Salt. I just microwave some frozen or fresh corn, peas, mixed veg and top with some crazy salt and they gobble it down. It works for my neighbors kids too. I have several neighbors who now buy crazy salt. Oh it is great on tomatoes. Another veggie (and meat) trick we use is ranch. My kids will eat any meat if they can dip it in ranch.

But as for recipes.....hmmmm. I do an orange stir fry that the kids eat. And my kids are good soup eaters too (bean and basil soup, beef barley soup, black bean soup). And pastas are good for throwing in additional veg from time to time. Any soup with abc pastas is good too.

Orange Chicken Stir Fry

INGREDIENTS:
3T Oilive Oil
4 Chix Breasts cut into 1 inch squares
1 cup OJ
1T orange zest -- optional
¼ cup soy sauce
3-4 cloves garlic
2-3 T Brown Sugar
1-2 T Corn Syrup
1 cup bean sprouts – optional
1 (6 oz) package chow mein noodles – optional
One pakage frozen stir fry veggies
Cahsews or peanuts -- optional

DIRECTIONS:
1.In a small bowl combine the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, salt, garlic and brown sugar. Mix well.
2.Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. When oil begins to bubble, add chicken. Saute until cooked through (no longer pink inside), about 7 to 10 minutes.
3.Add orange sauce mixture to chicken and cook until sauce begins to bubble. Add corn syrup, until sauce has thickened to your liking.
4.Add in veggies until tender
5.Serve over brown or white rice

***I made this without anything I listed as optional – the original called for serving it over chow mein. I didn’t have any so we used rice, which is more to my liking anyway.

Give that crazy salt a try. I get silly and tell the kids it makes us all crazy, which is why all my neighbors kids wanted some! Ha!

Answer 5

no...but ... in this magazine im reading it says:

For Vegetables Try:
Getting the kids when they're hungry. Try having neat appetizers like carrots or celery.

Preparing them in different ways:
You can steam them, or bake them or saute them. You can be suprised that your kid might not want a vegetable one way, and love it the other way.

Hiding Them:
You can try cutting thin slices of broccoli or carrots and hide them in pizza or macaroni..

Mixing new veggies with sure things:
Add a sprinkling of the new veggie to a combination your child already likes and eats

Hope I helped!

The trick is to puree the vegetables in a blender! Then no person will observe them. all human beings likes spaghetti, suitable? try this: Fry some floor beef, drain the fat, and placed aside. In yet another pan, sautee some garlic and onions. put in blender. Then grate a pair of (uncooked) carrots, upload to blender. upload chopped up zucchini to blender. upload a pair of uncooked tomatoes to blender (take out seeds, which lead them to flavor slightly bitter while pureed) upload a pink bell pepper to blender. activate blender to get all factors right into a yucky-finding, unrecognizable mixture. upload the mixture to the floor beef, upload a can of your prominent pasta sauce, your prominent spices, slightly bit salt, and a pair bay leaves, and cook dinner for a on an identical time as till it tastes waiting. And presto! Your prominent spaghetti sauce with secret factors no person might even observe.

Answer 7

Steam artichokes. Melt butter in a small dipping bowl. Have the kids peel off artichoke leaf one by one and dip in butter and squeeze a slice of lemon on it. Then tell the kids to scrape off the artichoke meat with their teeth. They'll have fun using their fingers, pulling off the leaf, dipping in butter, and then add lemon and scraping off teeth. The uniqueness of eating a vegetable like this should have your kids asking when you'll be having them again.

How to Get Your Kids to Eat Their Veggies (or Any Food That They Don't Like)
You've begged and you've pleaded. You've cried and you've screamed. Yet, your kids still won't eat what you know is good for them? Try these tactics to assure that children are both happy and healthy.

Steps
Apologize to your kids for any negative behavior regarding food on your part. For example, if you have, in the past, taken away privilages unrelated to food (for example, computer time) then this is the time to say you're sorry and you won't do this again. Food should be related to food and nothing else, unless you want to continue the battles.
Review the USDA's food pyramid with your children so they understand what constitutes a healthy diet.
Create a new rule such as "If you don't finish what's for dinner, you don't get dessert." Explain this rule to your children well in advance of mealtime so they will be prepared.
Plan your menus so you include some of your children's favorites so they know you do care about what they think. For example, if you know your child's favorite food is macaroni & cheese then ask him or her which vegetable from a choice of one or two he or she would like with it.
Involve your children in the cooking. Even if it is something as simple as turning on the cold water, it's amazing what foods kids will eat if they feel they have cooked it themselves.
Refuse to battle with your children during meal times by offering an alternative vegetable such as a chopped up raw carrot with dressing. Do not, however, allow them dessert if they go for the alternative. This has the dual effect of assuring they eat healthy and that whatever they are passing up is truly disliked.
Thank your children for a wonderful mealtime.



Tips
The first few times you try this, you may wish to make or buy an extra special dessert, one you would not ordinarily have around the house. This adds just a bit more incentive for your children to eat what's for dinner.
Be realistic about how much your children are capable of eating. A good rule of thumb is a tablespoon of food per year of age.
Understand that there will be foods that your children will not eat no matter what. The important thing is to assure that their diet is balanced and healthy.
Remember, many children do not like their foods as strongly flavored as their adult counterparts do. If you need to, make milder, kid friendly versions of things like tacos and spaghetti. Either that, or feel free to open up a can of something like Spaghetti-O's on those nights when you or your spouse just need the heat.
A thought on condiments: if it makes you cringe when your little ones pour the ketchup on that T-bone, either serve them something else for dinner or look the other way.
Things even the littlest ones can do to help with the cooking:
Retrieve items for a meal, such as a block of cheese from the refrigerator or large plastic bowls (if you have these on a higher shelf, give them a boost).
Toss a salad (if your children are pre-school age or younger be prepared to clean up flying lettuce).
Stir. Depending on the age and maturity of the child, they can mix cold items during prep times or even things on the stove with close supervision.
Pour. Definitely don't start with liquid ingredients or things guaranteed to cause an irreversable mess the first time you try this, but even toddlers love to pour dried mac & cheese powder over noodles while older kids enjoy the responsibility of handling hot ingredients (such as gravy) on their own.
Cut hot dogs or other soft food with a butter knife. This provides an environment for you to teach your children how to handle knives safely with very little risk to small fingers.



Warnings
If you have been battling with your children for a long time over what they eat for mealtime and how much, be prepared for them to continue to try to argue with you. Do not give in, and don't threaten. Simply remind them of the new rule once and the alternatives. It may not seem like it at the time, but a temper tantrum will stop sooner if you ignore it.
Close supervision means just that. A kitchen can be a dangerous place for the inexperienced chef so make sure the little ones know all the rules before they help you out, and you keep an eye on them as they near a hot stove or sharp knives.
