Sometimes i feel like Bryce should be trying new things. We have our staples; yogurt, crackers, chex mix, apples, carrots, cheese, pizza, chicken nuggets, pancakes..etc.
It's easy to get in a rut. I came across this chick's blog and she had a couple of recipes that I'm going to try. This one was my favorite because even if Bryce doesn't like them, I'm going to wolf those mofos down.
Chicken and Apple Balls with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
* 2 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 1 tbsp parsley
* 50g/2oz fresh white breadcrumbs
* 1 large granny smith apple, peeled and grated
* 1 chicken stock cube dissolved in 1 tbsp boiling water
* flour, for coating
* vegetable oil for frying
1. Using your hands, squeeze out a little excess liquid from the grated apple.
2. Mix together the first six ingredients and chop in a food processor for a few seconds. Season with a little salt and pepper.
3. With your hands, form into about 20 balls, roll in flour and fry in shallow oil until lightly golden and cooked through (about 10 minutes).
Honey Mustard Sauce
* 4 tbsp honey
* 3 tbsp good mustard
* 2 tbsp cream
Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Serve immediately.
If anyone has any other good recipes or suggestions let me know.

I meant to comment earlier. Some favorites from our house:
My kids love stretch island fruit leathers (like old-school fruit roll-ups, but without the junk). They are easy to keep in the backpack for snacks.
The kids favorite dinner is "taco salad" which we make by piling black beans (cooked with cumin and chili powder), onions, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce (Maggie still isn't crazy about chewing lettuce, though), salsa and avocado on corn chips or tortillas. Sometimes sour cream, too. It is super easy and yummy and I like that it covers a few fresh veggies.
A favorite lunch around here is Bernie O's (Annie's organic version of spaghetti o's) with frozen spinach cooked in. They gobble it up.
We have food ruts, too, because it's hard to cook new things and have them rejected by preschoolers.
