Cooking for a child with ADHD is sometimes a struggle.
I have spent a lot of time over the last week trying to come up with a list of foods that my son will eat. So here is the list of things that I came up with that I know that he likes and a list of things that I things that I think that he might like and that he will be trying.
- Spaghetti
- Tacos
- Chicken Nuggets
- French fries
- Fruit
- Yogurt
- Homemade pizza
- Fried rice
- Mac & Cheese
- Pretzels with cheese dip
- Homemade grilled cheese
- Oatmeal
- Shakes
- Creme Brulee (because what 7 year old doesn’t love it?)
Now, for the recipes that I’ll be trying in the next few weeks.
- Sweet potato fries (baked)
- more vegetable – Sous Vide Green Beans & baked zucchini and squash
- Chicken Parm
- Zucchini crisps
- Breakfast burritos modified (eggs, bacon and potatoes)
- Breakfast muffins (eggs, sausage, bacon and cheese)
- Cauliflower rice
- Ham & Cheese sandwiches
- Chicken soup
- Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla
- And more
Picky eaters are hard to cook and plan for and a child with ADHD makes cooking slightly more challenging. Because he snacks all day long, it makes dinner time difficult, not to mention that he is a very picky eater too. I am going to have my son to start helping me more in the kitchen to get him involved. This I hope will get him more interested in the foods that he is eating.
I will also be posting these recipes here on the website too, in hopes that maybe some of you with picky eaters or children with ADHD can use them to help them eat a little better and more as well.
