After my debacle with the fruit on the outside of the pancakes and the chicken and fruit kabobs, you would think I would have learned my lesson right? WRONG. I am just as stubborn as Dinosaur, but my stubbornness doesn’t allow me to give up, just get more creative.
I had to try the fruit in his food somehow. My thinking was if I cut up the strawberries and blueberries and added them to the garlic and onion couscous he would LOVE it. To accompany the couscous, I thinly sliced homemade chicken cutlets.
- I should have cut them smaller, but I was in a rush.
Doesn’t that look so yummy?
So here is what was presented to Dinosaur. Did he eat it? Did he refuse?

He ate it up like mad… after the first bite he politely asked for barbecue sauce, he sure does love a variety of tastes all mixed together. Just look at him stuffing that couscous into his mouth. I was so relieved and am saving this recipe.
How did I make this?
I used boxed garlic couscous (yes…boxed and it was the store brand too…LOL)
and added olive oil, more garlic, curry, ginger, and diced onions.
Once cooked, I added the diced strawberries and blueberries and mixed it in the pot.
Oh! At least you tried something new!
yeah, I was so surprised by how much he liked it.
Awesome! Looks good and I’m glad Dino liked it. When times get tough, moms get creative!
yes, their stubbornness makes us more creative
It looks a little funky, but I am sure that it tasted awesome. I would have eaten it!

thanks, yeah it was really good.
This is a very intriguing recipe… makes me think of sweet and sour chicken… many flavors combined to make something awesome! I’m daydreaming about making fried rice, but I think just doing that might be too many flavors for mine. lol.
yeah, it had a LOT of kick to it…hubby likes one flavor at a time too, he NEVER mixes flavors either.
One of my kids adds hot sauce to everything, the other adds ketchup. At first I was insulted but I finally realized that if they were eating their dinner I needed to give up and just put it in the win column.
yeah, they’re just adding even more flavor to your great meals.
Yay! I love it when my plans to sneak healthy foods into my daughter work.
yes… the tricks of mothers.
i’m not sure my kids would eat it, but I would love to try it. good job getting dino to eat healthy!
thanks babe!
