chicken stew
1 whole head garlic
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
One 3-4 pound whole chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces (2 breasts, wings, thighs, legs)
6 medium red onions (about 2 pounds)
One 28 to 32 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
1 Tbsp fresh thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 bay leaves
A pinch of chile powder
1/4 cup regular Dijon mustard
1 Preheat oven to 400掳F.
2 Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic. Place garlic head on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over the garlic, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic head with the foil and place in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until the flesh of the cloves are light brown feel very soft when pressed with the tip of a knife. Set aside to cool. (See how to roast garlic.)
3 While the garlic is roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot (with lid) or Dutch oven, on medium high heat. Rinse the chicken pieces in cold water then pat dry with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
Brown the chicken pieces, starting them skin-side down, cooking them a few minutes on each side, working in batches so that you don't crowd the pan.
4 While the chicken is browning, peel and quarter the onions. Remove chicken from pan when nicely golden with tongs or a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate. Discard any fat and oil beyond about 1 Tbsp left in the pan. Put the onions in the pot and cook them until softened, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
5 Add the tomatoes to the pot, the thyme, bay leaves, and ground chile powder. Put the chicken pieces on top of the tomatoes. Pour in the wine and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 40 minutes, stirring from time to time so that the vegetables don't stick.
6 After the garlic has cooled enough to handle, squeeze out the roasted garlic from the cloves into a small bowl and crush with a fork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to serve with the chicken stew.
7 When the chicken has cooked, add the mustard to the pot and stir to blend. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook uncovered for 10 more minutes, or until the sauce is thick enough to cling to the meat. Remove bay leaves. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve stew over rice or pasta, with the garlic paste on the side.

Kids love chicken nuggets - here's a healthy version you can make at home. I let my kids help too - just make sure they wash their hands really well afterwards.

QUICK AND EASY TUNA FISH CASSEROLE
1 or 2 cans tuna
1 tsp garlic salt to taste
just a shake of salt
just a shake of pepper
a little over 1/2 cup of Italian bread crumbs
3/4 cup Ranch dressing
1/2 bag of egg noodles
Boil egg noodles until done; drain.
Drain water from tuna and place in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients.
Be sure mixture has a creamy enoughconsistency, and taste to see if enough garlic salt has been added. If mixture is too creamy, add more bread crumbs, and vice-versa (Ranch Dressing).
Stir in cooked egg noodles and serve immediately or place a couple slices of cheese (of your choice) on top and bake in the oven JUST for a couple minutes until the cheese melts.
Overcooking will make tuna dry.
Enjoy!

This is a hard question...If you want your kids to eat vegitables just add some Melted Cheese. If you want them to drink healthy buy them some Mandarine Propel. It tastles like an Orange Tic Tac. Its a water that tastes like candy. And besides if this doesnt help remember. Google is our friend :)

kids will eat just about anything they make so even threading fruit loops on to string to make a necklace is good enough sometimes
I would make what Michelle D said, and for a twist on it, instead of bread crumbs, crush up some corn flakes real fine and bread the chicken with that. The kids will devour it.
All recipes are delicious, depends on the individual taste buds, and also what type of cuisine are you interested in?
