Keeping their children healthy is one of the main goals of a parent. This they do by providing only the best and most nutritional foods in their family's table. Unfortunately, most children nowadays are very picky. They often choose flavorful unhealthy foods over healthy ones.
If you are one of these parents having problems on how to make their children eat healthily, don't fret anymore. Here are some recipes you can try for today's lunch.
CHEESY CHICKEN-EGGPLANT BALLS
Packed with protein, carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, vitamin k, manganese, and folate, as revealed by Health Line, this recipe will surely capture the hearts of your kids. To create this masterpiece, you will only need these ingredients: 2 cups of eggplant cubes (peeled), ¼ kilo chicken (shredded), salt, pepper, cheese (cubes), garlic, onion, coconut oil, 2 eggs, and breadcrumbs.
The first thing to do is to sauté onion and garlic and add the chicken meat. Once the meat has already changed color, add the eggplant and wait until it softens. Set aside until it cools off.
Once the heat is already tolerable enough, add the breadcrumbs, get a handful of it, put the cheese in the middle, and mold it in spheres. Then dip it in the egg, and cover it with breadcrumbs again.
Once you're done with everything, fry the balls until golden brown. Serve with mayonnaise or dressing on the side.
MASON JAR SALAD
Another balanced meal you can serve to your kid, the Mason jar salad is one of the coolest meals your kid can have. It is not just nutritious and cool, but this dish is also easy to prepare, perfect for your busiest days.
To create the Greek dressing, what you will need are 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon honey, 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt, as enumerated by The Spruce Eats. Combined all these. Set aside.
For the layers, you will need ½ cup cooked brown rice, 1/3 cup of sliced tomatoes, 1/3 green peppers (chopped), 1/3 cup chopped cucumber, ¼ cup crumbled feta, 1 tablespoon chopped red onion, and ¼ cup Kalamata olives. Once all set, it is now time to prepare your jar.
Start by putting the dressing first to avoid your ingredients to get soggy. Put the meat and grains next. Third, put everything but the greens like the cheeses, dried fruits, nuts, scallions, and bacon. To top all these, add the greens.
