Answer by dee a
I don’t really understand you question. Are you talking about like a kids menu at a restaurant? Or at home. Our boys are 3 and 5, they really don’t eat a whole lot yet and when we go out to eat they could never eat a whole plate off a kids menu so we usually get one plate and let them share and let them have some off ours as well. At home they eat everything that we eat, except the 5 year old has some food allergies that we have to watch, so sometimes I do end up making him a separate meal.

Answer by ruby’s mom
ruby eats:
organic mini waffles for breakfast every day (she loves them and they are calcium fortified — she hates milk)
calcium fortified OJ
tomatoes
“pirates booty,” “veggie booty,” and “tings”
garden burgers (all brands/varieties)
soy “chicken” nuggets (we are vegetarian)
cheese — mozzarella is her fave
whole wheat mac and cheese
apples
sweet potato fries (a brand called “alexia” — all natural and frozen)
pizza (homemade usually: wheat crust, homemade sauce, mozz, and spinach), but she also eats take out pizza sometimes
vegetable lasagna
vegan chili
bananas
soy bologna
multi grain bread
big, soft pretzels (she loooooves them. we get them at whole foods and jamba juice)
whole wheat bagels (or regular if necessary)
steamed carrots, but only when mixed into other things (such as pasta or chili)
cucumbers (she loves them…don’t give her many, though, since they don’t have much nutrition)
organic mini cheese crackers
organic vanilla cookies
orgnaic “goldfish” and “cheddar bunnies”
that’s pretty much it right now.
edit” OOOH, if you mean off of a kids menu: grilled cheese or mac and cheese.

Question–: How to work veggies into my picky toddler’s menu?
My son is 16 months and is quite a picky eater. The problem doesn’t lie so much in the problem that he doesn’t like many foods, but more that he won’t even try them. I try my best to serve him a well-balanced diet, but recently have run into an issue with veggies. Do you have any tips on how to get him to eat more of them. Just a note…he will try almost anything between two slices of bread, so if you know any tips to work veggies into a sandwich, I think he might be willing to try it!

The following is the answer: (Hint: The correct answer provided by the users, does not guarantee the right.)

Answer by Rachael
Have you tried tomato sandwiches?

My son is also picky and the only way I can get him to eat any veggies is to put cheese on them. He’s willing to eat the veggie to get the cheese.

Answer by angrhaylie
try making tuna or chicken salad and put diced carrots, celery, really anything i know it doesn’t sound good but it’s worth a try

Answer by Deans
There’s a great cookbook by Jerry Seinfeld’s wife called Deceptively Delicious. It shows you how to puree veggies into normal other foods kids will eat, and they never know the difference.

Answer by misterkaleb
We wash and steam fresh organic spinach and kale then chop it up finely and freeze it in ice cube trays. Then it’s super easy to pop out a cube and add it to soup/pasta sauce/etc. It’s unfortunate because she’s not learning that she likes the veggies but at least she’s getting them.

How about a spinach pesto spread on sandwiches?

Answer by Nicki S
My little boy loves pasta or mash so I hide it in there. If he love sandwiches why not try homemade coleslaw with ham or tuna and cucumber? Also I find that if I just keep putting things on his plate but not pushing him to eat it, he eventually tries them. Also if he see’s you eat it and look like you are enjoying it, he’s most likely to try it.

Answer by sapna
Different kind of toppings can be used to lure the kids… like cheese, jam, pickle.. or something they like .. may be choclate sauce

Answer by Ness
I know this sounds totally weird but a girlfriend told me this and has worked wonders w/ my 18 month old.. Frozen veggies.. I get frozed peas and corn and just give it to him frozen… He loves it.. I think since its something new, cold, and it feels good on their little gums hope this helps!!!

Answer by 3mom
I chop up veggies (not pureed)and mix them with cooked pasta and some marinara sauce. I also slice up sweet potato, pan cook it and sprinkle it with a little cinnamon.

Also, try a hummus spread.

Answer by tessajanell
We do dip. My kids will eat anything dipped in ketchup or ranch. I also use variations on the cookbook deceptively delicious. Some of the recipes are a little much for me and I am not into the food processor part but I have found that I can use baby food in some of them. Always put veggies on his plate though. They say it takes upwards of ten tries to get them to try something. Keep trying girl it will come together soon. In a couple weeks you’ll see that he will be eating completely differently. It’s how these things go with kids.

Answer by mrztreed1
I put butter and pepper on my veggies and all my children from ages 11-2 love them. Also a little amount of cheese will work but not too much because you don’t want to drown the taste of the veggies out. The Green Giant Steamers are also a big hit as well. Good Luck I have a house with 6 little picky eaters so I know your pain.

genius waitress

Of the genius waitress, I now sing.

Of hidden knowledge, buried ambition, and secret sonnets scribbled on cocktail napkins; of aching arches, ranting cooks, condescending patrons, and eyes diverted from ancient Greece to ancient grease; of burns and pinches and savvy and spunk; of a uniquely American woman living a uniquely American compromise, I sing. I sing of the genius waitress.

Okay, okay, she’s probably not really a genius. But she is well-educated. She has a degree in Sanskrit, ethnoastronomy, Icelandic musicology, or something equally valued in contemporary marketplace. Even if she could find work in her chosen field, it wouldn’t pay beans–so she slings them instead. (The genuis waitress is not to be confused with the aspiring-actress waitress, so prevalent in Manhattan and Los Angeles and so different from her sister in temperament and I.Q.)

As a type, the genius waitress is sweet and sassy, funny and smart; young, underestimated, fatalistic, weary, cheery (not happy, cheerful: there’s a difference and she understands it), a tad bohemian, often borderline alcoholic, frequently pretty (though her hair reeks of kitchen and bar); as independent as a cave bear (though ever hopeful of "true love") and, above all, geniune.

Covertly sentimental, she fusses over toddlers and old folks, yet only fear of unemployment prevents her from handing an obnoxious customer his testicles with his bill.

She doesn’t mind a little good-natured flirting, and if you flirt with verve and wit, she may flirt back. Never, however, never try to impress her with your resume. Her tolerance for pretentious Yuppies ends with her shift, sometimes earlier. She reads men like a menu and always knows when she’s being offered leftovers or an artificially inflated souffle.

Should you ever be lucky enough to be taken home by her to that studio apartment with the jerry-built bookshelves and Frida Kahlo posters, you will discover that whereas in the public dining room she is merely as proficient as she needs to be, in the private bedroom she is blue gourmet virtuoso. Five stars and counting! Afterward, you can discuss chaos theory or the triple aspects of the mother goddess in universal art forms–while you massage her swollen feet.

Eventually, she leaves food service for graduate school or marriage; but unless she wins a grant or a fair divorce settlement, chances are she’ll be back, a few years down the line, reciting the daily specials with her own special mixture of warmth and ennui.

Erudite emissary of eggs over easy, polymath purveyor of polenta and prawns, articulate angel of apple pie, the genius waitress is on duty right now in hundreds of U.S. restaurants, smile at the ready, sauce on the side. So brush up on your Schopenhauer, place your order–and tip, mister, tip. She deserves a break today.

Of her, I sing.
