my son is 2 yrs 9 months. he is in nursery, going to school since 18th june. his school is from 9 am to 1 pm. he leaves house at 8.15 am, reaches school at 8.50, has his lunch break at 11.30 am for 15 min. leaves school at 1 pm, but since the auto rickshaw wala picks up 3 other kids from another school at 1.30, and they are dropped home as their residences are earlier in the route, my son reaches his creche at 2 pm. from there i pick him up at 5.45 pm to 6 pm.
whatever i cook for him, turns cold by the time he eats it, and he hates eating cold chapatis, dal, rice or sabzi. i tried insulated tiffin boxes too, but the food gets spoilt by 2 pm(i prepare it by 7-7.30 am).
pls suggest some recipes which he would love to eat, can eat quickly, and are nutritious too. the recipes should taste good even when cold.
i would be grateful to all who send me their recipes, ideas.
regards,
vaijayanti

Berry replied. Hi Vaijayanti,
Your kid school timings are not so proper.He is just kid yaar.But full day is problem for him.It would be better chose some other school for him so that he can get habituated to go to school.
Kittu replied. Hi Vaijayanthi,

Amol replied. Hi Vijayanthi,
So can you say what would be the better solution you have preferred then only it would be the better you share because it is clearly understood that your child will not eat food when it is cold then try any other option for it.
Amol replied. Hello Vaijayanthi,
So you can put in the box what ever your kid will eat that is better and you will not face any problem also.I hope you would do that and your son will have some wide varieties of food also in the box if you do.
Janu replied. Hello Vaijayanti,
You can give him snacks to school because children would feel hungry at any time and you need to put some thing and they will take when ever they feel hungry and teachers would feed them also.So no need to get tensed also.
Priya replied. You can ask the creche lady to heat the food and give it to ur son. She can atleast do this. it takes hardly 5 mnts to heat the stuff.
Priya replied. I am giving you all worried moms nutritious laddoo recipes which you children will eat with no fuss and with their own hands !!! atleast my daughter who is 22 months old eats.
3 spoons of ragi flour
2 spoons of whole wheat flour
1 tps of olive oil ( good for health when eaten raw)
2 tps each of cashew nut powder, almond powder and 4 tbps groundnut powder
3tps of cornflakes and oats powder
2 tps of pure ghee
grated or crushed jaggery as per your sweet taste
pls try to put jaggery then sugar as jaggery is good for health.
you can also add some more things as you feel like raisins, small small pieces of dry dates, some more dry fruits powder.
all this should be fine powder so as children should not find lumps while eating
mix it well and you can roll them into small laddoos and not big ones so that the children will hold them in their hands. if they r not consistent to be rolled in laddoos add more ghee and jaggery . they will form into laddoos. and give 1 in morning and 1 in evening for healthy n nutritious snacks.
pls tl me how you liked my recipe.
Some children to dont like corn flakes in milk can eat them as snacks- chivda. i found this recipes on one site n my daughter loves it.
and it is made in 2 mnts time. as i m working mom i still get time to make it. so its easy .
1 packet of plain ordinary corn flakes
5 tps coconut oil or any oil
little turmeric, salt, sugar, chilli powder
8 curry leaves, little khuskhus-poppy seeds, little til seeds, little jeera, and mustard seeds.
little hing.
heat oil and put all the above ingredients except sugar and corn flakes 1 by 1. after all r fried then put corn flakes and fry them fr just a while. they will turn nice and crispy. at the end put little sugar or no sugar as it is optional. i dont put sugar.
then serve ur children with evening snacks or as a part of tiffin for playgroup and nursery children. they will not eat other stuff like rice or chapati in tiffin but these corn flakes they will eat willingly and as they are prepared at home you will be relived of its cleanliness and nutrition.
