For the passed four days it's been close to 100 degrees here in Southern Cali, so who wants to turn on the oven? Today for lunch I made the kids tuna fish, with a little creativity in presentation, which is sometimes key in getting them to try it. The tuna recipe itself is nothing new, except that I add frozen peas, along with mayo (lowfat or full fat). Here I cut the whole wheat bread (with flax seeds) into a fish shape, served with peeled and sliced apples on the side.
My daughter actually loves tuna, go figure... yet won't eat hamburgers or chicken nuggets! I can't complain I guess. Although the other day she said, "Mommy it's not a fish"! I said, "Of course it's not a fish"! : )
My son wouldn't eat the tuna, but picked on a few peas. I've heard it takes close to 20 exposures of a new food for kids to dig in... so maybe we need a few more tries?
Have a great Earth Day! More creative recipes to come...
