Kid-Friendly Recipes FAQ

What makes a recipe kid-friendly?

A recipe is kid-friendly when it is easy to prepare and appeals to children's tastes with a fun, colourful presentation. The best recipes are simple enough that kids can even join in and help with the preparation.

How can I get my child to eat more vegetables?

If you want to encourage your kids to eat more vegetables, try serving colourful veggie platters. You can also add extra vegetables to family favourites, such as burgers or pasta. Another easy option is to mix them into dishes like tacos or stir-fries, where the flavours blend naturally.

What are some healthy meals that kids actually enjoy?

Kids often enjoy healthy meals like homemade chicken nuggets, bean burgers, veggie-packed pasta, and baked sweet potato fries. Mini wraps and colourful stir-fries are also great options that appeal to children. Another fun idea is DIY pizzas, where kids can choose their own toppings.

How do I make quick and easy meals for busy school nights?

Choose recipes with minimal prep time, such as stir-fries, tacos, or pasta with vegetables. To make busy nights easier, you can batch-prep ingredients ahead of time or keep fresh and frozen vegetables on hand for quick dinners.

Are there allergy-friendly kid recipes?

You can find plenty of allergy-friendly recipes for kids that avoid common triggers. For instance, try dairy-free mac and cheese, gluten-free pasta with vegetables, or egg-free pancakes. Another easy option is nut-free energy bites for school or home.
