Want to feed some picky omnis
Posted by nmpixie on Mar 04, 2010 · Member since Jan 2008 · 1243 posts
I used to trade babysitting with my friend, I'd take her daughter one day a week, and she'd watch mine another. Now, her husband has lost his job, so she's still watching my daughter, but I'm not watching hers-she's staying home w/ daddy. I really should pay her, but we have no money, and won't next week either. (I had 30.00 for groceries and gas this week). Problem is, they don't eat a very big variety of foods. She mostly eats chicken, no red meat, no fish, they eat a lot of fruit and nuts. Nothing spicy. The daughter is super-picky. What would be good for maybe a dinner and dessert?
Lasagna, maybe?
Anyone have any brilliant suggestions? HELP!
pot pie?
i think lasagna is always a good idea, it can be pretty cheap to make too. maybe some banana bread or cinnamon swirl bread too?
Both good ideas! Thanks. And I have been wanting to try that cinnamon swirl bread recipe. Hmmm....

yeeeeeah! :D mmmm now I want some. just make an oil crust instead of e.b. to make it cheaper.
taco lasagna... no fake meats or anything that's for sure... here it is: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=27997.0
I use flour tortillas, replace the nut yeast queso sauce with taco sauce/ enchilada sauce, and use refried black beans instead
Serve with some salad
Sorry if that seems too spicy... you could just use mild sauce
dessert... pumpkin pie cheesecake :) recipe here: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=25713.0
I'd go with something they'd be familiar with then try to do some fake meat meal
Dinner: Minestrone soup, Lentil soup, chili, tostadas, fajitas, lasagna, stuffed shells or stuffed bell peppers
Dessert: Banana bread, oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, banana chocolate chip muffins

the cinnamon swirl bread is really good - just make sure you add some vanilla to the batter. AND - it's cheap to make. no fruit or nuts required.
