Things i like to cook for my 3 toddler siblings -- but as a co-parent of them

One thing i really like doing is cutting up hot-dogs to look like octopus – all you have to do is cut one in half, and make a half-cut longways on two sides, then fry it on stovetop with it’s “tentacles” sprawled out on the pan, while holding it down. i also like putting them in mac n’ cheese so the macaroni looks like waves and the octopus hotdog is like a kraken or something.

another thing i make is grilled cheese and tomato soup. i like to use blocks of cheese and slice them up thick so they have more cheese and less toast. i also give them a small side of tomato soup with some chicken flavoring powder in it to encourage them to eat the soup when they are done with their grilled cheese.

I normally make spaghetti for them, but the sauce i make is a bit complex for some. i use 1 jar of tomato sauce, one can of stewed tomatoes, a bit of bay leaves, onion, red bell pepper, stove-fried meatballs, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, accent (flavor enhancer), ground black pepper and salt. i usually separate the sauce, because sometimes my siblings just want plain butter noodles. i was like that as a kid, because i have a few sensory issues.

Thats all :))

If they do not get much in the way of vegetables, you might want to make sure they are getting vitamins as well.

oh they do, these are just easy things for when they’re not in a good mood. usually i add a side of corn or broccoli and a side of strawberries or banana’s.
