Health Eating for Kids.

Does anyone have any recipes where you can get them to eat veg etc.. that they wouldn't normally eat? Thanks

In soups the 'other' veg can be hidden; you can pur�e veg into tomato sauces; you can put small bits into quiches...

They will eat a lot of things in salads with their favorite dressing that they won't eat alone.

Taco Soup

1 Pound Hamburger (Mince) � Browned & Drained
1 Pack Taco Seasoning
1 Can Ro-tel Tomatoes (has jalapeno in it)
(can is the size of a Campbell�s soup can)
1 Can Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 Can Corn � Whole Kernel
1 Can of Water

(You can also add carrots, peas, white beans, potatoes - just any vegetable you like best.)
Mix together & cook until it looks/smells done - although everything is already cooked - so you COULD eat it as soon as it gets hot. You can also put it in a crockpot/slow cooker.
After you put it in your bowl � taste it, it is great that way and less fattening � then put a big blob of sour cream in it and mix it up � then taste it again.
Garnish with black olives, cheese, onions, chives � whatever makes you happy.
I multiply the recipe (with less meat and more corn - just a personal preference) and freeze containers of it to pop in the microwave to thaw and heat later.

BBWCHATT, will that recipe also solve world peace? I've only been a member for month & half and I've seen it 3 times! :-)

Shepherds Pie is an old favourite. In a strong, rich gravy the flavour would be masked. I haven't really thought about the colour, oops!
Or roasting parsnips with potatoes might get them to try something new on a sunday.

Maybe just blindfold your kids? lol

I apologize if submitting my favorite recipe has offended or disturbed you in any way. It is an inexpensive, easy and versatile recipe that is helpful to a lot of busy Mothers. I wish I had had it when I was raising my son.

I won't ever post it again - offending someone like you isn't worth it to me. I guess here in the USA we aren't sensitive enough.

That will leave plenty of room for you to post your Shepherd's Pie recipe.

That was uncalled for Pixie Woo. I hadn't seen the recipe, as I am sure others won't have either. BBWCHATT puts on some really interesting recipes, for which, I for one am very grateful. Why post something nasty when someone is only trying to help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
