How to Make Your Kids Eat Fruits and Vegetables

Kids seldom eat fruits and vegetables. How to make them eat these necessary food, had been my dilemma. I got my clue from children's usual request for mango shake.


Squash-Kalamansi Shake has the taste of mango shake. My son doesn't notice the difference.

Ingredients:
1 cup of cooked, mashed squash
1 cup of evaporated milk
1 tablespoon of kalamansi juice
sugar to taste.


Carrot-Cheese Shake is deliciously creamy. Blend well for a smooth texture. Kids hate the grainy feel.

Ingredients
1 cup of boiled or raw carrot
1 cup of evaporated milk
2 slices of Cheese (I use Kraft Eden Cheese)
sugar to taste


Cucumber-Mango Shake tastes more like mango shake.

Ingredients
1 cup of peeled cucumber without the seeds
1 cup of sweet mangoes
1 cup of evaporated milk
sugar to taste


Banana-Nuts Shake is delightfully yummy.
Ingredients
1 cup of sliced sweet bananas
1/2 cup of nuts
1 cup of evaporated milk
sugar to taste

Instead of buying powdered juice or softdrinks, this is the healthier of giving in to your kids sweet cravings.

Flavors should work around what your kid prefers.

How to Fry Without Oil (No Air Fryer Needed)

In today's fat-laden meals and diets, we've got to be creative enough to lessen our fat intake. This concern is not so much for outward appearances but primarily for taking care of our health.

My children like fried chicken a lot, who doesn't?

I fry it oil-free. Here's how:

1. Wash the chicken slices well, then strain.

2. Sprinkle salt (and pepper if you like).

3. Heat the pan, then put the chicken slices.

4. Add water to simmer. One-half (1/2) cup of water or less will do for 4-5
medium slices of chicken.

5. When water have evaporated, the chicken's natural oil surfaces. This
time add one to two cloves of garlic.

6. Fry chicken until golden brown.

7. Serve with sliced tomato with a dash of salt and vinegar.

You can do this to for hot dogs, sausages, luncheon meats, meatloafs, corned beef and the like. 

Water laden with fats and salt can be thrown away and boil anew.  
Yummy!
