Children need opportunities to try foods over and over until its normal fare.
I learned a hungry kid will eat ANYTHING.... even veggies. So..... veggies were ready and on their plate long before the meat was ready, lol. Tricky mom.
When my kids were toddlers I made fast food: sandwhich size freezer container filled with a frozen veg, a cooked meat and pile of mashed potatoes. Made these up 4-8 at a time. Put in freezer for when I was too tired to cook.Easy peasy. Bake a pile of chicken thighs and let cool. Make batch of mashed potatoes and let cool. Select a bag of frozen veggies, green beans, carrots or mixed veg. Put in meat first, then scoop of potato, fill with frozen veg. Into freezer. When needed pop out onto a big microwaveabke plate. Fed two little ones.
Microwaveable frozen veggies are a mom's best friend.
My two boys are fit and trim, and these days hog down twice baked potatoes. Filled with mashed potatoes, butter, cheese, onion, ham salt, pepper, dried onion powder. Snack at home, or wrap, pack and reheat at school. Buying school lunch has never been an option..... here, in this poor town, its just carbs carbs carbs. Pizzza twice a week, fruit juice., chocolate milk....poor food.
These days getting them to eat veggies is more of a problem then when they were in grammer school, but I keep trying. Sometimes stirfry or a stew works to get in veggies.
Latest batch of mung beans are sprouted and ready for stirfrying with pork and frozen carrots!! Usually served without rice! They eat more veg that way. wink. wink.
I know how to cook. My youngest can cook. Oldest prefers ready made food......sigh.....though he likes using a knife and will cut uo veg and meats,lol.
I invested in my kids.
