Proven recipes with step by step photos, calories and cooking time. Breakfasts for children, lunches, dinners

Pretty satisfying, thanks to potatoes, and fresh, thanks to cucumber, the salad will surely appeal to children.

Boiled pasta baked with eggs, as in kindergarten, is suitable not only for a children's table, but can also be an interesting side dish for people on a diet (suitable for diets No. 3, No. 4c, diets No. 6, 7, 8, 10 , 11 and 15).
Soup-puree from zucchini, like in kindergarten, turns out to be very tender, calm, pleasant to the taste.
How many children love cauliflower? I don't know them :) Usually, the very smell of boiled cauliflower already drives the children out of the kitchen, but not in this case.
Fish patties with vegetables baked like in kindergarten - quite an interesting dish.
Delicious and fragrant garnish with a golden crust is potatoes baked in sour cream, like in a kindergarten.
Now even small children know that it is healthy to eat vegetables, but few people realize that the color of these vegetables is also of great importance.

In addition, all the recipes from this collection are prepared according to technological maps for preschool institutions and are ideal for organizing baby food.
If your "Nehochuha" eats mostly pasta and refuses to eat anything else, you will find suitable options here to diversify your child's diet.
For example, if a child eats semolina in kindergarten but refuses to eat it at home, you can find here the recipe for semolina in the form in which the child eats it in kindergarten.
The same applies to recipes for other breakfasts, as well as soups, second courses and side dishes. The taste and appearance of the dishes is the same as in kindergarten. Suitable for children from 1.5 to 7 years and their parents. After all, we often have to eat up for our "Nehochuhs", don't we? :)

If the baby eats with appetite, the mother is happy and happy! But, alas, not every child will be happy to eat ordinary porridge or cottage cheese.
Therefore, mothers have to constantly invent something, invent something so that the child does not turn away from cooked food. The main secret of recipes for children at home lies in an interesting presentation, the use of fresh products and healthy ingredients. Of course, the children's menu should include soups, milk porridge, meat (minced meat), vegetables, fruits. But most preschoolers and children of primary school age are wary of vegetable stews and salads. Not too willingly, they eat a whole apple, pear or banana. It will be much more interesting for them to eat fruit skewers, a boiled egg that “turned” into a pig or a carrot cut into stars.
Recipes for children are the fruit of creativity and imagination of mothers and grandmothers who do not want to "stuff" children with products with various fillers, dyes, preservatives. For example, the same oatmeal will become tastier if you add a spoonful of jam, berries, pieces of fruit to it. In a selection of children's recipes with step-by-step photos, our authors suggest preparing delicious applesauce with cream, banana milkshake, fruit dessert with chocolate chips.
