Kid-Friendly

Kid friendly recipes have to pass the ultimate test – getting eaten without complaints! After serving my share of meals that ended up in the trash, I learned to test everything with my own picky eaters first.

Hidden veggie mac and cheese that tastes better than the box version. Chicken nuggets that beat the frozen ones every time. Lunchbox favorites that don’t get traded away.

My kids help me test every recipe that goes on the blog. If they don’t clean their plates, it doesn’t make the cut. They’re honest critics – sometimes brutally so!

These kid friendly recipes come together quickly because hungry kids don’t wait patiently. Trust me, I’ve learned that the hard way!
