Meat-Dirt Pile

Yes, I know.  Meat-Dirt pile, yucky sounding, but to my son it is yummy tasting.  My two kids have been sick for the past 2 weeks and both have lost their appetites.  I took cheap pre-sliced deli meat and use cookie cutters to make fun shapes.  The excess scraps I cut really small and make a meat-dirt pile and my son pretends he is an excavator and scoops up the dirt with his big scoop (his spoon).  It is pretty much the only thing I could get him to eat.  Try it.

What tricks do you use to get sick kids to eat?
