3 Meals My Kids (Almost) Always Eat
on the menu (vol. 6)
Want to know the recipe I get asked for the most?
I’d be lying if I told you my kids eat all the food I make—that would be nothing short of a miracle.
My kids are still young, so my husband and I focus on how each food nourishes in different ways: protein makes you big and strong, green boosts your immune system, carrots help you see, and red peppers help your brain. And, of course, if our little one sees her older sister try something, she’ll try it, too.
The only guaranteed hits in our house are cupcakes, pancakes, and pizza from our favorite neighborhood spot. But remember that kids will often surprise you—my oldest is in her Castelvetrano olive and half-sour pickle era. Anything is possible!
These three meals are my go-tos for easy meals my kids will at least eat (a few bites, at least!)—and they’re delicious for the adults around the table, too. Here’s what’s on the menu this week:
Airfryer Salmon & Rice with Nori and a Leafy Salad
One-Pan Chicken with Spring Veggies
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Meatballs & Magic Sauce
If you have really picky kids, try my Superfood Pancakes. I make a big batch of these on weekends and keep them in the freezer for my kids to snack on whenever they want!
Note: This week’s recipes heavily feature my air fryer, which is the same size as a toaster oven. I use it every day and highly recommend!
Air Fryer Salmon & Rice with Nori
