How to Get Your Kids to Eat Anything

Don't you wish you were as good a mother as I am? My kids eat healthy stuff all the time and I know you are just dying to be more like me, so I decided to share with you some of my amazing wisdom in the area of getting kids to eat anything. Or almost anything. Or at least try some of what you serve them!

The most important thing is to offer them choices choices choices! From day one I've offered lots of choices to our children. Basically they can have it their way! They can choose a whopper or a cheeseburger. Regular fries or onion rings. A chocolate shake or a strawberry shake. Do you see how I offer them so many healthy choices and then let THEM choose?

For instance, here is what my kids had for lunch yesterday:

Look at all those healthy options! You say your children will only eat chicken nuggets? That's only because you're not as good a mother as I am! I mean have you ever even THOUGHT of offering them some BK chicken fries? Also, healthy dips are so super important. I often provide my children a choice between ketchup, mayo or honey mustard sauce for dipping. It's amazing how much more they eat when they can dip!

So there we go, we do our best. Obviously your best will never be as good as my best, but keep trying as you can be more like me every day!

  1. OH, I know you didn't post any photos of your kids but I BET, I just BET my firstborn, that your kids are WAY more beautiful than every single one of mine. I just know it!

    I love you SO MUCH Burger Queen!!!! I wish I could be EXACTLY like you but I don't think God loves me as much as he loves you so I guess I'll just have to dream about being like you.

    I can't wait to read about every single insignifant thing that you do today, I'll be hanging on every word. Hey, I've got an idea, how about you make us guess what you're doing so we can spend the entire day clicking on your site!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

    I love you Burger Queeeeeeen I just LOVE YOU!!!

  3. Oh good, I got in on the first day here to post! I just love you and your family to death. I just KNOW your kids are so gorgeous, they are to die for. I only wish my kids were half as cute.

    Your kids names are the sweetest I ever heard, what a blessing! God has certainly chosen you to be a godly woman to them! Keep boldly blogging and say a prayer tonight that my family be *just* like yours!

  4. You *know* that god gave you Oreo BK Sundae Shake, it was a divine incident, and had nothing whatsoever to do with you submitting & spreading your legs to the King! And don't forget, you will have mucho fodder for your blog. Divine blessing indeed!

    The lord WANTS you to have a larger house, more cars, fine furniture, and many vacations for your family! You are blessed indeed!

  5. Wow, you are so smart and so alternative and so creative. Thank you for this information, I'm going to take my kids to BK now and see if I can get them to eat. It's always such a challenge when it comes to fast food.

    BTW, love how you describe your children. They are obviously beautiful and far superior to my own.

    I wanna be you so bad it hurts.

  6. Dirtying my knees in prayer for you! You are an inspiration to all of us who aspire to just like you. I'm so bummed I wasn't first to comment, but I'll give you hundreds of clicks a day to see if maybe next time you post, I will be first.

  7. I LOVE your children! When are you coming to Bum-F*ck-Egypt for a photoshoot? I would pay you ANYTHING to be able to touch, just touch Sausage Biscuits forehead. I know it sounds creepy but rest assured I have been on my meds for a few weeks now.

    I only wish I was 1/2 as good of a Mother as you. Please keep the excellent topics coming. Could you do a topic on "extended breastfeeding?". My child is 4 weeks old and I would like to push it out to 6 weeks - you know, extend it. I love you so much. I am going to dirty my knees tonight, in thanks that you have made such a wonderful blog! PTL!

  8. Oh so THAT is what I was doing wrong! Thank God you helped me see the light. I'm going to have to name one of my not-as-cute-as-yours kids after you.

  9. Oh-Oh-OH.....wait for me. I want to be a sheeple too!

    Can I just say that I LOVE YOU? You are so smart and wise. I would have never thought of these ideas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing with us. You are amazing and such a light to God. I know this sounds strange, but I feel so close to you....like I've known you forever. You're like a sister to me. Let's be BFFs!

  13. Burger Queen,

    First off fantastic blog! I am a devoted Wolverine and will let nothing get in the way of me sitting in front of the computer for HOURS at a time, clicking your site over and over, hoping I'll win an Etsy hat, or an iPad, or a breastpump. I love you SO much, I have put my 4 small children in daycare so as not to be disrupted during the day so I can worship you like the Goddess you are. I do have one favor to ask. Can you give me your hummus recipe, because last I heard your hummus was NOT homemade. Keep up the good work. Its time for me to go and get my kids from daycare. I love you!

  16. You suck. You're just trying to make those of us that stop at Taco Bell look bad. But I'll have you know, my kids have choices too...hard shell or soft.

  17. Please tell me how you take such amazing pictures!!! Photo lessons please!!!

  18. Am I first? What do I win?

    Is this your new and improved blog? It's beautiful! Is pink your favorite color? If so, it's mine too!

    Will you take a picture of your pretty feet and pregnant belly? Pretty please?

    Is Burger King going to have his own blog too? I hope so! I love him too!

  19. What is your twitter? I can't wait to hang on your every word!

  20. Please do let us know what hospital you will be having your sweet babe (Oreo BK Sundae shake) at, so we can send you a phone, trail mix, chocolate milk, gift cards, and maybe a massage, to.

  21. I can't wait for your next post. I just loved your very educated statement comparing chicken tenders' mohawk to a black kid in class as being a distraction. Smart! No wonder you couldn't enjoy your time in Kenya and just had to address your naysayers. You were surrounded by distractions! I wonder what Miichelle would think about that. Oh and when will Burger King be posting again? I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for an 30-something year old "man" to speak "ebonics", early 90's slang and to use the word "toodle loo"!

  22. Wondering if you could tell me what lens/camera combo you used for your picture above? HOW DO YOU GET THE BACKGROUND SO BLURRY? I totally want to know. I want to be a photographer just like you! I also like to make straw bale garden thingies, my husband has a temper, and also acts like he is 5 too! Please e-mail me when you get a chance. God Bless. I love you!

  23. Pretty please, say that there just might be a cruise coming up sometime soon? Will you bring the miraculously healed sweet babe Sausage Biscuit along, so we may at least touch the hem of his pants? What a blessing that would be! PTL!

  24. I'm thinking Rabid Rabbits instead of Wolverines people. Don't want to be crossing our blogs now, do we??

  25. Please can you share your fantastic photoshop skills with us? I want to photoCHOP my fatass just like you did, and I think my daughter has a unibrow. Any suggestions?
    I wish my kids looked like yours, I cannot wait for a BKGathering or a BKCruise!

  26. Sadly, we are not as superior as you are. Our family is going to 5 guys for dinner. Maybe I can talk the head into taking us to godly BK tomorrow night.
