I am the first to admit my kids are not "normal". They are already well down the path of healthy eating. I am laughing at the meals they are cooking around here.
The other night I did chicken fajitas for supper. I wanted more green in mine so I grilled some with just onions and peppers. This was for them. While it was cooking I chopped some cabbage zucchini, spinach and who knows what else to go with the peppers onions and chicken. I ended up with almost as big a pot of it as the plain. It was a good thing since MINE got ate! The next day for lunch I doctored up the rest with the same assortment of veggies. It got ate also.
Last night I had the kids chopping onions, okra, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, mushrooms, to make a gumbo type stuff. Again I had a huge pot when they got finished chopping. It cooked down to about 1/2 pot. I had maybe a serving left after we all ate. Meat was some wonderful BBQ chicken 13 yo did.
Today for lunch 11 yo decided to make a stir fry for her, 10 yo and 8 yo grand daughter. They all helped. It had zucchini, onions, mushrooms, okra, cabbage, spinach, broccoli and I'm not sure what else. She seasoned it with the kitchen cabinet. I know curry was one of the seasonings she used. They scarfed it down.
She is making more for supper tonight!!!! I didn't try any at lunch so I can check it out tonight.
Like I said not normal kids.
We have had grand daughter here a lot and another little girl who is 9. The 9 yo went home today and she was excited to tell her mom all the foods she ate and LIKED! Cabbage, spinach, okra and I don't know what else she didn't "like", but found out she does. One thing they beg for is quesidieas which I require to have a healthy helping of chopped spinach in. They love them! They will ask for them! Just add cheddar cheese to a tortilla then a hand full of fresh chopped spinach. Grill and enjoy. Personally I want onions and peppers in mine, but not everyone does. Wonder if mom will even believe her?
Kids think it is fun being creative. I encourage them to experiment. They do know we have to eat our experiments even with they don't taste that great.
