Hi all!  I have three kids, all with different likes/dislikes when it
comes to food.  I have found a few meals that everyone seems to like
that contain a lot of fruit and/or veggies:  chinese chicken salad,
taco salad made with veggie crumbles (soy textured and flavored like
beef), chicken caccitore, whole wheat pasta with red pepper sauce,
etc, but I seem to be running low on inspiration lately.

Do you have a favorite healthy meal that your kids love? I'm looking
specifically for high flavor, low fat foods with minimal sugar or
white flour.  I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you!

Mine love:

- spicy beans & rice, with green beans, broccoli or asparagus on the side
- a Thai stir-fried broccoli recipe that originally featured shrimp, but
also is good with beef or pork
- fish stew (includes onions, tomatoes, and a lot of parsley)
- lentil stew (includes lentils, kidney beans & potatoes, and spinach if
I have it)
- hamburger & cabbage casserole (this is sort of a slacker's cabbage
roll recipe)

I'll be glad to post recipes if you're interested in any.  (It might
take awhile to drag the lentil stew recipe out of my husband; he started
with a recipe in an Indian cookbook but changed it to suit himself.)

Hi Clisby!

The fish stew and hamburger casserole sound good!

If you could post those recipes, I would appreciate it.  The Thai one
sounds good also, but I failed to mention that we have food allergies
to peanuts, sesame and peas.  I'm not sure if that recipe has any of
those ingredients in it.  A lot of asian foods seem to use seame or
peanut oil.  I wish the kids would eat something like a spicy rice and
beans, but except for the oldest one, they have a low tolerance for
spicy heat like peppers.

Thanks again so much for your suggestions.
