Mock Thai Fish Cakes – Vegetarian Bean Cakes
Recipe #262401
I had to post this recipe as it is my DD’s favourite lunch food. Serve with a salad and sweet chilli sauce. Delicious. I do not use the whole amount of red curry paste or I substitute (which is what we prefer) with a Kikkomans sweet soy, lime and ginger marinade.

Most diabetics can eat the normal foods, they can adjust their insulin if needed for a special meal. A sugar free desert may be in order though –

Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
2 eggs, beaten
16 packets artificial sweetener

In a large saucepan, combine gelatin, cornstarch, spices and salt. Stir in pumpkin and evaporated milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften gelatin.

Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture bubbles; cook and stir for 2 minutes after bubbling. Remove from heat.

In a medium bowl, gradually stir about 1 cup of cooked mixture into beaten eggs. Return to remaining mixture in saucepan and cook over low heat for 2 minutes; do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in artificial sweetener after filling has cooled to 140° F.

Not sure if you mean something kids can make, or something kids will like to eat. Also not sure if you mean a whole meal or just side dishes.

If it’s cooking with kids: mac & cheese is a good side for kids usually.

To cook with kids: cookies, pumpkin muffins, or bake a cake.
