Once a year I buy the gamadim so they can have those. Also pitot & chumos or cottage. Fruit. I bought the cheap 10 packs of nosh. Rivka and Avraham Tzvi will eat leftover chicken cold from the seuda, but the twins probably won't touch it. Oh, and cereal & milk. Anything easy they can get themselves.

Breakfast:
Cereal and milk and yogurt as an optional

Lunch:
Challah and charrif, and fish

Snack:
Nosh and drinks they are privileged to eat only on YK, since mommy is fasting....

Dinner:
Melon salad, and chicken with potatoes that were set up in the crock pot erev YK. It's a meal they look forward to all year, they LOVE the "melting bones", as they call it!

My mother always made cholent, and put hotdogs in - a full meal, that we all liked. This year we are going to her, but my oldest wont touch it, so I will make pasta, he can have soy yoghurt, cereal and milk, or canned chickpeas, which he likes. Those are his choices, take it or leave it.

I don't think anyone fasting in my house would appreciate to smell cooking food!

always left bagels and cream cheese for them to eat ... or some other sandwich where they can take their baggie and eat without me ever having to touch the food ... nothing with a strong odor either ...

My six year old gets in these moods where he doesn't like anything that I offer him. I end up standing there in the kitchen saying do you want this do you want that.....and he says no no no and we have a huge argument.

So today, I made a list, quite long, of all the available foods in the house. I told him on Yom Kippur, he can help himself, or ask me for anything on the list. I will come into the kitchen to help him after he has decided what he wants from the list. There will be no arguing.

I also made a shorter list of treats that I will let the kids choose from after they have eaten healthy stuff or played nicely for a while.

This is the list:

rice cake with cheese
each cereal we have in the house is listed
yocrunch
hard boiled egg
sunflower seeds
trail mix
crackers with peanut butter
apricots (dried)
matzo
almonds
pretzels
cheese stick
american cheese
baby gouda cheese
sweet noodle kugel
carrots, cucumber, red pepper with or wo chumus
pita with or wo chumus
bologna with or wo pita
clementine
pear
grapes
apple
granola
pineapple
bagel

Breakfast -- cereal

Lunch -- my kids went on rotating playdates for the whole day and lunch happened to fall during my shift -- I had made them cream cheese sandwiches, fruit/veggie slices and popcorn in advance so they could just take it out of the fridge themselves, but it wasn't long before all the kids started heavy trading negotiations with their friends, who had brought smiley cookies and chips Smile

Dinner -- they went to kids' davening for neilah and didn't come home until after the fast was over, so they ate with us -- I made break-the-fast in advance also so I just had to stick it in the microwave after havdalah...

I always serve(d) cereal for breakfast and leftovers form seudas mafsekes for lunch. (this year, only my youngest ate meals - all the rest of us were fasting!)

its still Yontiff for them so I make a chollent with hotdogs which they devour. I gave them cake for dessert. I have always done this because I want them to feel that its YT also. They also get a maadan in the a.m for breakfast like every other shabbes or YT morning.

Cereal and honey cake for breakfast
Tuna sandwich for one and corned beef for the other for lunch
Grapes for healthful snack
Yogurt for supper #1 at around 5.00
YT seuda for supper #2 at around 9.30, since one was in shul for neila and the other refused to go to sleep.

A lot of nosh all day long: Kliks, Airbis, wafers, juice pops, etc.
