I need some good dinner recipes for kids?
If you want to get them to eat salad, toss it with Soycha. For some reason, kids will eat veges with this dressing. It has a chinese flavor so it they like chinese food, they will like this. My kids drink the left over from their salad plate...an d they hate veges!!!!I need some good dinner recipes for kids?
my daughter loves having pigs in blankets, I make them with turkey dogs ad crescent rolls
Some other favs are chicken pot pie- cut chicken into bite size peices, cook, add a bag of frozen mixed veggies, add a can of cr of chicken soup. Pour into pie shell and top with bisquick.
Shepardspie- especially topped with cheese
Mac n Cheese with ham and broccoli peices. Mix a box up, add ham and brocc, some grated cheese. Pour into baking dish and top with bread crumbs. bake till all is warm and bubbly.
homemade chicken tenders and fries
instead of using breadcrumbs or flour dip the chicken into beaten eggs then into crushed up captain crunch cereal!
they come out sticky and sweet once fried and kids LOVE THEM!
The same site I got this from has a spaghetti recipe that includes a lot of veggies, but the kids never know the difference - easy way to sneak in veggies.
Nachos!
A great way to please everyone
Ingredients
1 family size bag of tortilla chips
1 lb ground beef (use ground beef saved from spaghetti)
6 oz can tomato paste
1 packet taco seasoning
1 c Monterey jack cheese - shredded
1 can refried beans - heated (can mix some salsa in to make a little less stiff)
Salsa
1 2.25 oz can sliced black olives
1 c chopped tomatoes (about 2 tomatoes)
Can of chopped chilies or jar of pickled jalape帽o chilies
Sour cream
Anything else you can think of
To Prepare
Pour tortilla chips into oven proof dish and place in a warm oven
Prepare taco meat per directions on the package
Put all ingredients in separate bowls and set out on table or sideboard
Give each person a bowl with chips and let them help themselves
Easier: use a can of chili instead of the taco meat or buy canned taco meat, use pre-shredded cheese
Variation: Put Nachos in a baking pan, cover with taco meat, refries, and cheese - heat until all is warm and cheese is melted. Serve in bowls and everyone can add the rest of their toppings.
There is a fantastic book I read called Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. I don't even have kids! But I use this for me and my fiance to get us some more veggies and keep things healthy. The book is great because it incorporates veggies into things kids love like burgers and chicken nuggets. For more info:

hot dogs and chips mac and cheese grilled cheese
How abut some italian style pizza with less cheese and more veggies?
Well i have a kid and i also babysit allot. well you can season and bake chicken have mashed potatoes and string beans. when it comes to dinner period, make sure you have at least one item from a food group...don't do things like put macaroni with mashed potatoes loll . if your kids are vegetarian than used substitutes for meat like soy meat or if they are allergic to certain vegetable's or poultry's replace those with a substitute
chicken soup
