Suggestions for dinner/supper?

Question

Thought I'd let someone else 'think' for me. haha. My daughter doesn't like meat so very much. And we're tired of spaghetti. The only thing she really eats as far as meat goes are hotdogs.

I have 2 kids a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old. Was hoping for something that's easy for them to eat.

Thank you for your help.

Basically a saute of frankfurters, onions, mushrooms, a splash of applejack brandy. Set it on fire (whoosh!)

Answer 4

It is a real problem what to feed the little ones every day,some how i feel we as parents have lost the war,to the big corporations,with their billions of dollars worth of advertising they are shaping the taste buds of our children.

It is our turn to fight back and protect our children and it is not difficult.

Meat has to be cooked well for kids to like.

Try a nice veal with pasta casserole,here is the recipe.

Why veal? It's tender when cooked properly and low in fat and it's not red meat.

Veal cut in chunks

olive oil

1 onion sliced

1 garlic clove crushed

1/2 cup red wine

1 cup prepared tomato sauce

1 cup tomato juice

salt+pepper to taste

1 Cinnamon stick

In cooking pan add olive oil and saute meat with onion and garlic for 5 min. in med. heat,deglaze with the wine and add the rest of the ingredients and water to cover meat,cook until tender,45-60 min.

If you have a pressure cooker this procedure will take 20 min.

At this point place meat and sauce in an casserole pan add 6 cups hot water and 2 cups orzo (100% semolina) adjust salt and pepper and bake for 25_30 min.stirring occasionally. Serve with grated cheese.

Here is the idea,if the kids don't like the meat, at least they will have the nutrients of the meat in the orzo and slowly this way you try to make little changes so they grow up appreciating good food.
