Kids and Picky Eaters:
Picky eaters have varying tastes, which can be a big challenge for parents. Don’t despair, certain types of recipes tend to appeal to most picky eaters. Here are some ideas:
- Finger Foods: Picky eaters often like foods they can eat with their hands, such as chicken tenders, mini pizzas, corn dogs, or quesadillas.
- Choose Simple flavors: Picky eaters prefer foods with simple and familiar flavors, so recipes that use basic seasonings like garlic, salt, and pepper are often a hit.
- Customizable Options: Recipes that allow picky eaters to customize their meals to their liking can be helpful, such as build-your-own tacos or pizza.
- Sweet Flavors: Many picky eaters have a sweet tooth, so recipes that incorporate sweet flavors can be a hit—for example, brown sugar carrots or pan-fried sweet potatoes.
- Comfort foods: Picky eaters may be more likely to try foods that are familiar and comforting, such as mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, or grilled cheese sandwiches. Also, check out my tips on How To Cook Gluten Free Pasta. No kids like mushy pasta!
