Lunch for a Princess

>> Monday, April 11, 2011

Do you ever get in a rut when you prepare food for your child?  Make the same things over and over again or go to the foods that are supposed to be "kid friendly"?  I'm certainly guilty of doing that.  I have my go-to lunches for my daughter - like spaghetti and PB&J.  Fortunately, she likes to remind me to think outside of the kid-friendly box sometimes.

I've inadvertently found that one of the best ways to get my children to try new foods is to simply to eat the food myself.  That's precisely how I discovered one of my daughter's very favorite lunches - a wrap with a generous smear of goat cheese, roasted red peppers, sliced sweet onion, and tomato.  I was enjoying a wrap of this very description one day when my princess said she wanted a bite...and then ate my whole wrap.  She generally does not care for raw onion (or roasted red peppers for that matter), but in this wrap, she loves the "crunchy bits."  Now I send this wrap for school lunch quite often.

If all else fails, I can depend on her drinking a smoothie for lunch.  And why not?  Packed with fruit and a little punch of protein, the smoothies we make for her are a smart and fun lunch, and again, a lunch that she stole from my husband who is also a smoothie fiend. 

Don't be afraid to challenge your child's taste buds.  They just might surprise you!  What's your favorite non-traditional lunch to serve your child?

A wrap is always better with a fancy toothpick holding it together on a fun plate.
 Princess Wrap

1 small flour tortilla
soft goat cheese
jarred roasted red pepper
sliced tomato
sliced sweet onion

Smear goat cheese down center of tortilla and top with remaining ingredients.  Roll and eat.

Watch the ingredients in the tortillas!  Many brands use hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils in their tortillas.

Princess Smoothie

1 banana
1 cup frozen strawberries (thaw a little before blending - 45 sec in microwave does a good job)
1 cup milk (dairy, soy, almond, or coconut)
1 spoonful of peanut butter
a squeeze of chocolate syrup

Place all in a blender and blend until smooth.  Makes 2-3 servings

Add a little tofu to make the smoothie extra creamy and add an extra big punch of protein.

I have sent my son to pre-K with homemade soups (butternut squash, split pea, 15-bean). He really likes Indian butter chicken, and that was his lunch today. I'm just happy he has such diverse tastes!

Wow, this is a very useful post. This is healthy for the kids knowing that some kids are sometimes very choosy when it comes to food. :) Thanks for sharing the recipe. :D

Its always advisable to add fun flavors to the menu so that kids will be more interested to taste and eat rather than be picky in everything, I did mine with a super man plate with matching fork and spoon this really helps a lot

IM SOOOO IN FOR THIS.

thank you.

That is SO cute. And you have the coolest daughter ever - that's awesome that she'll eat roasted red peppers, raw onions and goat cheese!

It's so important to constantly try new foods, especially for kids... tastebuds can change :)

Grumpy Grateful Mom May 6, 2011 at 2:25 PM  

I am definitely in a food making rut. Thanks for motivation. I haven't push my kids hard enough to try new things. That smoothie looks delicious!

That's a great lunch box idea! My boys love goat cheese so we'll have to give it a try!

children follow their parents if one wants his children to eat most of the health giving thing then firstly he should do it himself because human being is the biggest imitator and according to one experiment performed by the experts on children of monkeys and human beings human children was proved to be more imitator.so if you want your child to do something you have to do it before him.

Great little tip especially for us mommies in a rush. You could even make a weeks worth and freeze them, take 1 out every night and it will be fresh for lunch the next day.

One critical thing people forget to do when trying to lose weight is to eat enough food. This sounds surprising, since weight loss ultimately is about eating less than your body needs to function.
