Frequently Asked Questions
Kids love dishes such as pasta bakes, spaghetti and meatballs, tacos, burger, sliders, pizza, and macaroni and cheese. Try homemade versions so you know what ingredients are in the dishes.
Let your children help you in the kitchen. They’ll be more willing to eat food they’ve helped to cook. Give them a table knife and cutting board and let them chop some ingredients. Hand them a spoon and a mixing bowl and let them stir. Explain what each ingredient contributes to the recipe.
Try grilled cheese sandwiches, bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, grilled hamburgers, hot dogs or brats, and tacos.
