Menu Planning & Picky Eaters
Mealtime Wisdom for Picky Eaters!! Parents know how frustrating it can be to get their children to try and enjoy new foods. Below are some ideas and tips that will help kids do just that. MUFFIN TIN MEALS Kids love to get thier hands into everything, big or small. Set up a "finger food buffet" and have your kids pick the items they'd like to eat. They'll feel included in the process, which will increase their interest in trying a little bit of everything. Start with a muffin tin (or any small container with compartments) and customize the meal by filling the sections with bit-size portions of colorful, nutritious foods. Some great food ideas include: cubed cheese, whole grain cereals, grapes, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and chicken nuggets. Once you've filled the compartments, let them pick their items, allowing them to be hands-on with their meal. Chicken Nuggets with Honey-Peach Sauce Recipe Courtesy of Robin Mille
