Cooking for Kids - PFE Roundup

Sorry Friends for the delay in the roundup. I have taken a back seat from blogging since my inlaws are getting back to India.

Here comes the Roundup of Cooking for Kids - Creative Food for Picky/Fussy Eaters. Hope its useful if you have a Picky/Fussy Eater at home.

Aloo Vegetable Paratha by Preethi.
She says like all other kids, we have a tough time feeding our little one. He loves chappathis and will have it at any time of the day. Once when iImade aloo parathas he loved them, to make them more healthy i sneaked in some cooked vegetables. To my surprise my little one loved it. So i thought of sharing it with other moms. This can be served as breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Vermicilli Idli by Akshatha.

She says MY SON IS NOT A PICKY EATER THOUGH BUT HE WAS VERY RELUCTANT ON EATTING THE NORMAL IDLI SO ONE DAY I PREPARED IT AS EVENING SNACK BUT NOW THIS DISH I MAKE EVERY NOW AND THEN FOR BREAK FAST AND EVENING SNACK BOTH MY HUSBAND AND SON RELISH THIS.

Fresh Fruit Salad

A simple and healthy fruit salad. We usually prepare salads on weekends and enjoy it for 2- 3 days. My hubby who loves fruits is always ready to help me in cutting them....:-)

Fruits I used are
Papaya, Apple, Orange, Banana, Grapes, Sapota/Chickoo, Pomogranate
Honey - 2 -3 tspns

Sugar - 1 tspn(Optional)

Method
Wash and chop all fruits into small pieces.
In a wide bowl put all the fruits, add honey, mix well and chill it in fridge for 1 hour or more.

Serve it with ice cream or as it is.

This recipe along with Kosambari and Green Gram and Pomo Salad is going off to Divya's Show me your Salad Event.

Happy Weekend. Will be back with my CFK-PFE Roundup.
