certainly gets even more difficult at meal times. What can you
give your kids nutrition wise that they will eat? These days
it's come to being an almost impossible decision what with all
the advertisements for fast foods that kids are bombarded with
on an almost minute by minute basis. How can you compete with a
greasy burger and fries accompanied by the latest must have toy
included free?
I tell you it's almost impossible and I had all but given up
where my kids nutrition was concerned. It was so much easier
when they were smaller and they had to eat what I set in front
of them. At least then they got some nutritious food into their
bodies. These days, it's more along the lines of a battle field.
I set a plate of delicious home cooked baked chicken in front of
them and they just stare at it in disgust and tell me they want
fried chicken!
I don't give in but sometimes I feel that it would be so much
easier if I could just forget my responsibilities to my kids
nutrition intake and let the world of processed foods take over.
It was at this almost despairing point that a fairy came to my
aid in the form of my mother, who pointed out with a wicked
smile that I had been just as bad, not eating anything that was
set in front of me.
This didn't make me feel any better, but the few recipes and
tricks that she gave me did make me feel better. At last I now
had at least a passing chance at getting my kids nutrition
intake in order. Otherwise I was going to have to resort to
giving them supplements, there was simply no other way.
If you're giving your kids baked chicken try breading it first
as this might give them the illusion of having fried chicken.
Add a little bit of spices to the mix to give it that added
taste as well. You could also try making your own burgers. These
need not be complicated affairs, and should only contain the
most basic of ingredients that you can throw together to create
something that looks and tastes like a burger.
And if that doesn't sort out your kids nutrition worries for
you there always a host of other ideas that you can try that
will have your kids eating happily at home and with no
complaints. Of course you're bound to come across one or two
things that they absolutely won't eat no matter however much you
disguise it, but other than that, you shouldn't have to worry
over whether your kids nutrition levels are what they should be.
All it takes is a little perseverance and a "fairy" mother!
