Lunch ideas

[playfelt]

Why do the parents always assume it is our job to make the kids eat foods they won't eat at home or that parents don't make them eat at home? I just put a spoonful of mixed frozen veggies on the plate and turn a blind eye if they don't get eaten but "reward" those that ate everything with something else as they must still be hungry. I do find they accept the veggies better if they are cold so I cook the veggies with our supper and then for lunch serve them cold from the fridge.

As far as hiding them the pureed veggies can be mixed into almost any casserole type dish, anything with hamburger. You can also mix many fruits and veggies together and then mix into puddings or cookies.

Agreed. Talking to a parent who seemed concerned that their child wasn't getting enough fruits veggies (and we eat a lot here), get to the end of explaining where the veggies are in my meal plan - which is always posted and NEVER looked at - for them to say "ok good, because we eat like crap at home"
