If DS (3yr) likes the following...

[ilovetosleep]

What else might he like? He's generally a v good eater although not so brilliant with protein. He will try most things but isa bit funny about egg, raw cheese and undisguised fish - but loves prawns.

Anyway ds2 has come along and with the tiredness I have let things slip into a v small repertoire of stirfry, various basic pasta dishes (spag Bol etc) and chilli. I just need a kick up the bum to get creative again, some fresh ideas before we all turn into a pack of mince. It's as much for me as him, although I'd like to get more variation into his life before he forgets how much he loves good food.

So his all time faves are...

Stirfry noodles with prawns and veg
Chicken curry with rice and mushrooms
Sweet and sour fried rice with veg
Spag Bol
Mushroom risotto
Roast chicken with roasted veg

He loves mushrooms, prawns and peppers with a passion.

So, inspire me! Give me your best recipes that DS will love and will liven up our dinner times.

Paella ;-)

Recipe treat like risotto, but with tomato base, chuck in loads of veg, at end add chicken, prawns etc, mine love squid and chorizo too though

Oh also stuffed peppers and mushrooms with cream cheese, veg and bread crumbs

He sounds like dd (2.7). Her favourite good is paella.

Paella sounds perfect, why didnt I think of that. He loves chorizo too. Will try him on squid. Ace. Any other ideas?

They also love Halloumi kebabs with Aubergine, courgette, baby tons, mushrooms and peppers on. Bed of rice with hummous

Another favourite is a slow cooked sweet potato, butternut squash and carrot curry with naan

And fajitas but minus the spicyness, let them construct their own, make a veggie version as an alternative so baby corn, carrot and courgette strips, peppers, whatever really, homemade guacamole, sour cream and salad
