toddler-friendly meals for picky eaters
What do I feed my pick-eaters for dinner? It is the age old question! I hear this from so many parents who struggle with what to feed their hungry tribe. Finding healthy, yummy meals every night can sometimes feel like the hardest part of an already hard day. Let’s face it, we are all guilty of cycling through the same 3 or 4 meals that we know our children will eat. These meal ideas will hopefully get you out of your cooking rut and help expand your picky-eaters palate.
Meal idea 1: chicken meatballs
These easy chicken meatballs will be a hit for the whole family! The best part about this recipe is the 30 minute cook time and 5 ingredients. My family loves these because they’re easy to prep ahead of time, great for baby-led weaning, and they’re full of protein.
Meal idea 2: Kale Pesto Chicken Quesadillas
Your picky toddler will devour these delicious Kale Pesto Chicken Quesadillas. They are so good you may be sneaking it off your toddlers plate! This is a great meal for baby-led weaning and the finger food stage.
Meal idea 3: healthy chicken nuggets with green bean ‘fries’
“I don’t want that! I want chicken nuggets!” We’ve all been there, slaving in the kitchen to make a nutritious dinner when you hear those dreaded words. These healthy chicken nuggets with green bean “fries” will be a meal your kids want every night!
Make mealtimes less of a battle with all of these meals that can easily be made ahead of time and frozen. Enjoy!
