Top 5 kid's dinners

[Susannahmoody]

Hit me!

I've got :

Spag bol
Sausage and mash
Macaroni cheese
Breaded fish, chips, carrots
Pizza and soup

I am so out of ideas

Pasta and pesto with broccoli
Egg and chips

We have never done kids' dinners in our house. DD has always just eaten whatever we eat.

Favourites when she was younger included just about any kind of pasta dish, roast veg with quinoa, spinach and paneer curry, dahl, fried rice etc.

Ds, now 14, has favourites of lasagne, hunters chicken, gammon, egg and chips, macaroni cheese, chicken and chorizo paella, toad in the hole, fajitas/enchiladas/burritos/tacos (he loves Mexican!), tuna pasta bake, omelettes and pizza. Apart from the recent addition of the paella, he’s always liked the others. There’s just me and him, so I’ve never done separate kids meals.

My 3 year old sons top 5 favourite dinners would be -

Garlic prawns with rice
Pad see ewe noodles
Xiao long bao dumplings with spring onion pancakes
Chicken korma with garlic naan
Peking Duck sushi

He’s fussy and it’s annoying! Would love it if he ate spaghetti or fish fingers or something easy

Sunday roast - and then leftover meat with bubble and squeak and beans
Tacos or fajitas
Shepherds pie
DIY burgers
Jambalaya
Salmon and dauphinois potatoes
Breakfast for dinner
Risotto

Steamed fish with rice and edamame beans.

Mild fajitas

Ploughman's plate

Fajitas
Stir fry
Steak
Curry
Anything spicy

I never made separate kids’ meals, they just ate the family meal, but popular meals were
Roast chicken dinner
Risotto, especially chicken & mushrooms
Spag bol or lasagna
Moussaka
Sausage & cauliflower cheese, or toad in the hole.

Lasagne
Cowboy pie
Burgers
Fish finger wraps
Enchiladas

I make chicken nuggets with panko breadcrumbs and they would eat those every day if I let them!
Other than that:
macaroni cheese
roast dinners
salmon (usually with couscous or pasta)
full English breakfast!

Am guessing hoping this is tongue in cheek

Here we have:
Tuna pasta
Meatballs in tomato sauce (with rice or spaghetti)
Jacket potato with ham and cheese
Pizza wrap
Fish, chips and peas.

Oh how could I have missed off pizza!! Swap the breakfast for that (although my DS favourite pizza topping is bacon!)

What is a pizza wrap? Is it pizza made with a tortilla? Sounds like something my kids would love!

My kids just eat whatever I've made but DSD, a different kettle of fish all together (and drives me nuts!), but will eat roast beef dinner (minus the veg), a beef or chicken burger, and spaghetti bolognaise, but will pick out anything that appears to look like veg/tomatoes. It's hard work!

It's a recently discovered "fuck it" sort of tea and now a firm favourite.

Yes basically make a pizza on a wrap, you can use tomato purée or ketchup as a base, cheese then whatever toppings you have to hand, then cooks for 5-10 mins and rolls up as a wrap.

Portable too so we love them for food on the run.

Roast dinner a couple of times a week
Chicken pie with leftover from roast
Macaroni cheese
Chicken paella
Slow cooked beef casserole & dumplings

Whatever we’re having but DS’s top 5 are a roast dinner, stew and dumplings, lasagne, fish pie and fish, chips and mushy peas.

Thanks - will give them a try!

My children's biggest favourites are fairly traditional.

Lasagne or spaghetti bolognese
Shepherd's pie
Toad in the hole
Meatloaf
Roast chicken

Caramelised onion pasta with cheese on top
Fajitas
Chicken curry
Shepherd's pie
Chicken and rice soup with crusty bread

Anything with loads of veg! Pasta with pesto, tomato sauce, tuna, just cheese.
