Question

my children are 8 and 10 and they are very picky eaters. and my brain is tired of thinking of things to cook, nothing sounds good to me anymore...please give me some ideas.

Answer 1

Answer 2

chicken fingers, mash potatoes, corn, hot dogs, burgers, (foods that kids like)  

Answer 3

1) Make your own taco night (set out bowls of lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc. Have the kids put their own together.)

2) Soup and sandwich (tomato soup or chicken noodle with grilled cheese)

3) Potato cars (take a potato...the type you use to make mashed potatoes... hollow out a hole in the center and bake at 350 for about 20 min. Take our and fill hole with something like ground meat or vegetables...cooked of course... then put in oven for another 20.)

4) Chicken cutlets (chicken breast, dipped in egg and breaded. Bake in oven)

5)Bread, mozzarella cheese (the good kind) and tomato

Here's a tip. Next summer, have the kids plant their own garden. Plant peas or squash or cucumber. They'll love eating what they grew.

Answer 4

Chili dogs.

Spaghetti and meatballs.

mash potatoes and meatloaf

Pigs in a blanket

Answer 5

this is so easy i make it for my younger brothers and sisters, every kid loves mac and cheese, go to the grocery store and pic up a family sized stoffers mac and cheese, you get plenty of food for a little price and kids love it, plus you dont even have to cook, its so simple!they can be don in like 5 min!--seriously a nobrainer, you can also get individual meals from stoffers, just pop em in the microwave!also marie calenders chicken pot pies, those go right in the oven and taste delicious!

Answer 6

Bachelor Salad:

Get a head of lettuce.  Take a knife cut it in four.  Rinse the knife.  Have them stand over the sink.  Pour salad dressing over the lettuce and eat it over the sink.  Serves four and kids will eat it because it's different and fun.  Since you rinsed the knife no dishes.
