Sometimes when feeding the kids it can be helpful to make a meal a bit interesting. This doesn't have to be a major project. For instance, this simple arrangement (shown before the corn dogs were added to the plate - yeah, a real gourmet meal) is easy, but got a rating of "Cool!" from the girls.
Now, before you get the idea I think I am a presentation genius, I should direct you to some real pros in the field. The Japanese serve lunches in cute compartmented stackable Bento boxes, Bento being a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal. The creative cooks make their lunches resemble people, animals, cartoon characters, landscapes, and the like. This style is called kyaraben, and one example is shown below.
You can click on the picture to go to a blog with more examples. I don't recommend the blog for the kiddies, as some entries have questionable language. The page with the examples of creative food is safe, and well worth a visit.
