oh my sister is 3years old and my son is almost 2, so good childrens meal ideas also please !Light lunch ideas?? any recipes in mind?
Well, kids like fun foods so if you were to take cookie cutters and cut shapes out of bread or soft tortillas (if they'll cut), and maybe have tuna or chicken salad, or egg salad, they might like finger sandwiches.
Or you could cut and scoop tomatoes or cantaloupe or pineapples to make boats for the tuna/egg/chicken salad.
If you have a variety of fruits and veggies, then hopefully there would be something for everyone.
I hope you have a great time - sounds like a lovely lunch!Light lunch ideas?? any recipes in mind?
why dont you make chicken tortillas for a light lunch.... fry an onion until transclucent, add garlic, salt and one tomato and a dash of tobasco, and 1-2 chicken breast cut up small. add a spoonful of mayyoinaise and stir well, if the mixture is too runny then mix one spoon of cornflour with water and stir well. warm tortilla wraps on the gas. place a couple of spoons of mixture on the edge of the wrap and wrap them up, securing with cocktail sticks, then cut in half in a diagonal line, serve with green leafy vegetables and they taste so lovely
Why not have a picnic lunch in the back yard?
Garden Kabobs
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 whole cloves
Dash dried basil
2-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin or boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 1-1/4-inch pieces
2 dozen cherry tomatoes
2 dozen fresh mushrooms caps
1 large green or sweet red pepper, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 Hot cooked rice
:
In a bowl, combine first seven ingredients; set aside.
Assemble kabobs by threading meat and vegetables on metal skewers.
Place in a large glass dish.
Pour marinade over kabobs; cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight, turning several times.
Grill kabobs over medium-hot heat until the meat and vegetables have reached desired doneness.
Remove from the skewers and serve with rice.
Yield: 10 servings.
Fancy Fuss-Free Torte
1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling or flavor of your choice
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Split cake into three horizontal layers.
Place bottom layer on a serving plate; top with half of the pie filling.
Repeat layers.
Top with third cake layer.
Frost top and sides with whipped topping.
Sprinkle with pecans.
Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 8-10 servings.
Serve with iced tea and lemonade
Grill up some chicken breasts with your favourite marinade. Then cut it in strips and toss it over a nice salad. Serve it up with some rice noodles (taste 100% from regular pasta) soy sauce and veggies!
Or
Cut the strips put in tortillas with veggies, serve on side with the rice noodles or plain old rice. You can even grill the tortillas up so they're crunchy. Totally kid friendly, light and healthy.
I would recommend Parmesan Chicken, it is easy too cook. And if cooked right it is absolutely delicious. I can't see how your son or mother would deny that meal.
Maybe even a side of corn and mashed potatoes? The entire meal would take you maybe only 40 minutes.
Wraps or sandwiches.. make a lot of different types of wraps or sandwiches, cut them in half and arrange them on a tray - turkey, cheese, roasted peppers, hummus, onions, sprouts, cucumbers, or anything. mix them up. if someone doesn' t like turkey and cheese, they can eat salami or roast beef! put out some chips or potato salad maybe. also for the kids, when I was little i loved cheese sandwiches
i think maybe you should make a wrap, using selected vegetables, for your son. Put a layer of cheese. I know i love it! it tastes great. here's a recipe. http://www.recipegoldmine.com/wraps/wrap鈥?/a>
depends on what type of wrap you want. search through them and click on one!
enjoy!
