Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.how can i compete with a happy meal?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(how can i compete with a happy meal?),it will help you,my kids.
Almost everything I cook for my 6-year-old son, he rejects and i have to settle for getting him a happy meal or a PB&J. these things are fine for lunch, but when dinner time comes, he>==============================...
I recommend the following book:
The Big Book of Recipes for Babies, Toddlers, and Children : 365 Quick, Easy, and Healthy Dishes (Spiral-bound)
by Bridget L. Wardley, Judy More "Combining foods in the right proportions gives children the healthy balanced diet they need to thrive (see p.l2-l3)..."
More than a cookbook, this indispensable kitchen companion not only offers delicious recipes for every day of the year, but also contains a wealth of information on child nutrition—from weaning and introducing solids to packing lunches and serving up party foods for older children. It emphasizes an easy approach to food preparation, with no complicated measurements or methods. Most important of all, there’s a wide variety of recipes for every stage of childhood development, complete with 50 "first food" recipes, 7-day meal planners, and sound snack ideas. Practical tips accompany the dishes, including methods for promoting healthy eating habits that support brain development and a strong immune system.
I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Find some fun things and get the boy to help you make them. He'll be less likely to protest since he'll have a bit of pride in having done it all by himself.
Otherwise, you could put the food on the plate in front of him and tell him eat it because you're not getting him a Happy Meal. That's what one of my cousins and her husband had to do with her son, who was about the same age and well on the way to becoming- well, a brat. When he learned that his parents were his parents and weren't going to budge, he started eating healthy and otherwise paying attention. And on the whole, I think they're all a lot happier. Sorry I have no recipes and don't have kids but felt sorry for you, so had to post. :) Most kids love spaghetti bolognese and home made healthy pizzas.
My suggestion would be to buy or borrow from a library, childrens cook books/ cooking for kids..lots of "fun" food recipes and ideas that he might be tempted to eat. I'm sure there would be some healthy cook books out there as well.
And of course he shouldn't be expecting a special meal just for him everytime you sit down to eat dinner. He needs to learn to eat what you're having. I don't know if you're cooking with spices etc, as some kids are fussy with things like that.
