Special meal ideas for preschooler?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I'm looking for some special meal ideas for my preschooler. We eat mostly

vegan and so far she seems to prefer pretty simple fare but I am hoping to find

some really special meals that she will love! I'm wondering if there are any

preferred special meals that your kids get really excited about and that you

would like to share.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shawna,

 

I have two little ones (3.5 and 1.5). They love this dish that I make

and ask for it! I usually make it once a week and make enough for two

lunches. I give them some the first day, put the rest in the fridge and

then give them the rest for another lunch several days later.

 

I take these Earth's Best alphabet noodles

(http://www.earthsbest.com/sesame_street/products/product/1784.php)

and (after they are cooked of course) I mix them with just a little

olive, a spoon of ground flax seed, raisins, kidney beans and carrots

(soft or hard, depending on what I have - I cut them up really small). I

mix it all together. They love it! And we always look at the noodles and

discuss what letters they are. I usually take an extra plate and while

they are eating I pull out noodles with a little spoon to make words. I

spell out their names and other easy words. So they like the dish, it's

healthy and they like the educational entertainment of the letters at

the same time.

Thanks Jacqueline, I'll give this a try! My kids (4yrs and 2yrs) like all the

ingredients so hopefully it will go over well with them. We just had a little

battle at dinner with my four year old, absolutely refusing to try one bite of a

new dish. My husband thought we could do a meal plan and include her to try and

develop new favorites. I really want to get to a point where they are excited

to sit down to dinner.

 

Thanks again!
