Whether you’re a new parent or this isn’t your first go-around with kids, it’s always nice to have new ideas when it comes to recipes. After all, with 5 days a week you might be making meals and with making 2 meals or snacks per day, means you’re responsible for 520 items to prepare a year. Having a few extra recipes in your back pocket is never a bad thing, especially ones that are healthier than your average prepackaged meal or snack. Having healthy recipes is just as important as having recipes that kids enjoy, since everyone knows how difficult it can be to appeal to a kid’s palate. Although some of these ingredients may not immediately seem like they appeal to children, it’s important to remember that sneaking in ingredients that children may not enjoy is a time and tested tactic from successful parents everywhere.
Most of these recipes were also designed to get kids involved in the kitchen. Too often you hear about teenagers or young adults who wish they’d know what to do in the kitchen or wish they could learn how to cook.
