It seems to be a struggle for some and easy for others. The goal: get your kids to eat awesome, healthy, nourishing, and delicious food. Where does the struggle start? Are parents giving too many options? Not enough? Given that kids won’t self-starve, if we can be consistent with food introductions, invite them into the kitchen to cook with us and offer education about why we choose the foods we choose, perhaps we’ll have more success.
To help you along, we’ve put together our list of the Top 25 kid-friendly food blogs. Hop on over and check out these delicious, kid-approved recipes that everyone will love.
