My boys have always eaten what the grown ups eat since they started table food. </p> <p>However my youngest hates potatoes unless they are French fries and prefers his veggies either cold or covered in ketchup. </p> <p>Some of our favorite foods here are: roasted chicken with broccoli and rice, fajita soup, one pot dinners (jamabayla, gumbo, any soup), meatloaf and kale, pretty much anything with kale. My kids are kale eating machines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-kid-food-recipes-kids-will-eat#post-2596099 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 20:38:47 +0000 irene 2596099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! That spagetti pie look so delicious!!! I am afraid I'd chow it down all by myself lol</p> <p>It depends on how old your child is I think.... My child is 4.5 years old now and will eat a lot of grown up food (and also not eat a lot of grown up food like chili, curry...etc). </p> <p>For protein he loves meatloaf A LOT. Other go-to things such as baked orange chicken wings, then these two:</p> <p><a href="http://damndelicious.net/2015/06/01/teriyaki-salmon-and-broccoli-bowls/" rel="nofollow">http://damndelicious.net/2015/06/01/teriyaki-salmon-and-broccoli-bowls/</a></p> <p><a href="http://damndelicious.net/2015/02/28/baked-honey-sesame-chicken/" rel="nofollow">http://damndelicious.net/2015/02/28/baked-honey-sesame-chicken/</a></p> <p>For us, any type of baked salmon, cod, chicken, pork chops, shrimp, is an acceptable choice by DS as long as it is not spicy.</p> <p>I'll just make one carb and one veggie to go with it - usually I'll boil a pasta and steam a veggie up top, or rice in rice cooker, and either bake a veggie with the meat, or boil corn (corn is a HUGE hit for us).</p> <p>Other ideas such as burger and sweet potato baked fries (which took us several times for him to understand and eat), pasta with puttanesca sauce (<a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/linguine-with-fresh-puttanesca-sauce-68642" rel="nofollow">http://www.food.com/recipe/linguine-with-fresh-puttanesca-sauce-68642</a>), Omurice (ketchup fried rice wrapped in an omlette, japanese dish). That's all I can think of for now...</p> <p>I so wish he would eat curry, or anything that is a bit spicy, potatoes and sweet potatoes as is (not disguised in fries), and tomatoes. That will open up so many doors....! I haven't tried spagetti pie, lasagna...etc. because I am a tad bit afraid I went through hoops to make it and he'd end up not eating it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-kid-food-recipes-kids-will-eat#post-2595471 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 14:43:15 +0000 gingerbebe 2595471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid loves rice and is just learning how to use utensils so we eat a lot of one pot "slop" lately. Risotto, fried rice, jambalaya, beans and rice, pilaf - anything I can stick veg and meat into in one dish that he can shovel into his mouth. So far no one has complained about the menu. </p> <p>This week we had mushroom risotto with spinach and chicken, jambalaya with chicken and pork, chicken fried rice with veggies and eggs, and tonight I think I'm doing small shell pasta with bolognese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-kid-food-recipes-kids-will-eat#post-2595404 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:22:00 +0000 MrsSRS 2595404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids really like roasted chicken with sweet potatoes and broccoli.<br /> Also, scrambled eggs with veggies and sausage.<br /> Rotini with cream sauce and spicy shrimp and peas is also a hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-kid-food-recipes-kids-will-eat#post-2595391 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:13:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2595391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great post! I am always looking for suggestions for dinners that kids will eat (without being a kids meal). </p> <p>Our kids really like Salmon and meatloaf. And breaded fried pork chops but those aren't really any healthier than a chicken nugget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-kid-food-recipes-kids-will-eat#post-2595382 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:05:19 +0000 Dahlia 2595382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made this spaghetti pie with kale instead of broccoli rabe and it was delicious: <a href="https://smittenkitchen.com/2016/01/spaghetti-pie-with-pecorino-and-black-pepper/" rel="nofollow">https://smittenkitchen.com/2016/01/spaghetti-pie-with-pecorino-and-black-pepper/</a></p> <p>The next day I cut it into thin slices and my one year old gobbled it up. I'd love more recipes adults and toddlers will like. Anyone have anything good? </p>
