what is your dc's favourite tea?

[griffalo2]

Looking for inspiration.ds 6yrs has gone off food,never says he doesnt like it he just doesnt enjoy it iykwim
he loves a 'picnic' in the living room and spag bol.yours?

My ds will have anything with ketchup. He's 3 and such is life. Particuarly scrambled eggs. He's just branched out into a love of english muffins and has always been a fussy so and so.
I'm luckier with my dd who will eat pretty much anything, and thankfully hasn't minded joining in with my pregnancy cravings. Most recent one is lasagne which she'll happily eat, as well as anything spicy, so couscous, any kind of stir fry or some noodles. Baked potatoes also a hit, and I don't mind preparing different toppings for them, whereas havign to prepare whole different meals is a royal pita. But both of them adore a simple roast, just the meat, mashed potatoes and a few veggies. The one meal a week they're guaranteed to eat all of.

Chicken Fried Rice.... Cooked chicken shreds stir-fried with cooked brown rice, various chopped vegetables (peppers, peas, corn etc), spring onions, garlic, ginger and seasoned with soy sauce and a little sesame oil. Disappears rapidly.

They have a few ... weirdly, haggis neeps & tatties is one they all clear their plates of! Others are sticky pork & rice, a tradtional roast and wraps with various fullings (sausage being a fave).

pasta with garlic oil and cheese, they gobble it down without the usual 30 mins coercing.

DD (3) and DS (9m) both adore cheese omelette with salad

Ds1 (aged 18, loves potato waffles with beans,egg and bacon.
Ds2 (aged 16) likes cheesy mash/jacket potatoes or a burger
Ds3 9aged 11) spaghettu bolognese or lasagne.

Mine even the eldest enjoy their tea/dinner more if its cooking when they get in ...if im undecided or ask what theyd like it takes the pleasure away lol.....ds1 has been known to ring me from uni ask whats for tea? on hearing its waffles he comes home with a on his face.

Normally risotto though tonight we're having lamb & pea curry with rice which is a dish where they always ask for seconds. DCs are 10 & 7.

How about getting you DS to help cook dinner one night? That might get him interested in mealtimes.

Carbonara

Ds1 Spag bol or roasts

Ds3 Anything that isn't nailed down and comes with ketchup !

DD1 Nothing pleases her

Ds4 bananas and mummy

DD 8 DS7 DS3
These are the things they all enjoy
Peanut butter noodles (originally an Annable Karmel I think)
Pizza (buy the bases they add own toppings)
lasagne
Roast (with proper roast potatoes)
Scrambled eggs and salami
Pasta & pesto (yep that old pony - but they will all eat it)
macaroni cheese

Oh he adores prawns or lamb chops too,not something i can afford every week though.
He does help some nights preparing veg,finding ingredients for me and measuring,he loves it

ds1 pizza and chips
dd chicken dinner and apple pie and custard
ds2 Full English Breakfast

Fajitas. they would have them every night.

Pasta is never scorned. Cheesy pasta in particular though bolognaise is also favoured.
Sausages and beans are also pretty much always acceptable (sometimes together, sometimes with other things).
Pancakes

ds (13) loves fish and chips above all things. close 2nd is spaghetti and cheese (no sauce weirdo ) or steak and chips.

dd (9) loves crab or prawns on their own. Cheese and crackers.
Oh she used to be such an easy child to feed now she moans at everything I put in front of her.

Oh yes they both love fish, the more expensive the better; lemon sole, sea bass, calamari, it does make them look good in restaurants, whilst at the same time makes it too expensive for us to go.

Roast chicken with the trimmings always goes down very well.
And chicken stir fried in soy, ginger, honey and orange with noodles.

DS also adores fish and chips.
DD adores nachos with chilli, cheese and sour cream.

Oh and meatballs.
Both love meatballs with spaghetti.

Chicken fajita wraps.
Cheesy pasta (pasta in tomato sauce with loads of hidden veg topped with grated cheese)
Tuna pitta pockets (tuna, sweetcorn, mayo)
Fish fingers, chips and peas.

SHepards pie, Spag Bol, lasagne and any pasta. Although...I must say I am yet to find a plate of food mine won't eat!! They eat everything...which sounds great, but they eat quite a lot.

DS (9) loves Tacos! Second best is mash, sausage and gravy!

He loves all the Old El Paso stuff to be honest, tacos definitely top the list! Fajhitas, burritos, crispy fajhitas....!

really struggle to get DD to eat, she will find something and then weill eat it everyday until she decides she doesn't like it.

Successes have been chicken and pea risotto, chicken, mashed potato and ceg with gravy, plaice in breadcrumbs but not fishfingers, wraps used as a pizza base with something on top but no cheese.

DS will eat anything, weirdly both will clean their plate fo everything but tend to leave the meat.

Toad in the hole is also popular.

DD (1) fishfingers

My ds is still growing in my tummy just now but with my sister who was a faddy water cheese and finely chopped vegetables mixed into pasta worked or a bowl of lentil soup followed by a hot pudding. Eggy bread and cheesy beans was enjoyed as Dad cooked it as were homemade fritters at gran's house. Sometimes though she was not to be pleased and dinner was a bowl of weetos and petis filous. Me, I ate anything!

ds1 (20 months) loves RICE, expects at least one bowl a day. Plain as you like, white or brown, Basmati favourite. He'll have it with brocolli, baby corn and/or peas, and will eat fish and bacon, other meat not so much, sometimes I can slip in a mouthful of mince or chicken. I don't expect it will last!
