What to pack/cook for my 7 year old daughetr




What to pack/cook for my 7 year old daughter?

Hi I’m a working mother to two children and currently I’m running my own design studio and a blogspot that shares healthy recipes and living. Being a mother is not easy at all, and if you are one of us then you will understand what I’m going through. Motherhood is intersting and I enjoy this journey so much, nevertheless all the broken nights and cracking your head for what to feed your picky eater.

I have passion for delicious food and a desire to make healthy, easy, tasty and fun meals for my children, mostly my 6 year old daughter. She is always picky on food and I guess it's something good since she only put good and nice things or food in her mouth and tummy. 

To me it is a good challenge, and I have set some targets for myself like how fast I could make her finished her meals, perhaps we could have a record breaking time tonight by serving sushi? I don't mind the hassles of going through websites, cooking books and classes but to come up with new recipes. Actually this has benefits me as well, as I has polished my cooking skill from a beginner to the intermediate. So her meals will not be so boring anymore and 

I will pack her lunch or I will make something fancy for her lunch or dinner.

Most of my cooking will include the balance pyramid which consistent of Vegetable (fiber), Meat (protein),

She loves soup, pasta and soft solid food. So what I will do is, make something that hits her taste bud and don’t forget the presentation are very important as well. Just like us adult, we prefer nicely presented food as well.

Seafood Marinara Soup

If you love seafood as much as we do then this is the dish you might wanna try. Marinara or tomato base soup with seafood. My children love this soup specially when I serve with a plate of warm rice. They preferred rice instead of bread maybe because we are Chinese. (laughing)

Ingredients are simple, you could use whatever you could find in your fridge. I use Scallops, Squids, Dory and Mussel mostly from the frozen section. And this is so convenient.
